We founded The Transition Network with a simple vision; to become the one-stop comprehensive resource that families, retirement homes and seniors could turn to for help through the downsizing and transition process. We are a team of passionate and caring move managers, real estate professionals, aging in place experts and legal & financial services who specialize and love working with society's "legends".
While individually our stories are different, they share a common thread, that led us to forming The Transition Network. We all would have valued the help of a professional when going through the process of downsizing our loved ones. We want to help other families not go through the pain that we experienced.
Let us help prepare the family home for sale, get Mom and Dad settled into their new home, or take care of the renovations to allow them to stay in their current home! We understand the demands on the "squeeze generation". It's hard to raise children, work full time and help Mom and Dad who can sometimes live miles away! Hiring a professional gives you the breathing space and allows you to be the loving son or daughter who your parents need through this emotional process- rather then being a project manger, handyman, gardener or financial expert.
Whether it be packing, purging or sprucing up a dated home - we can help. We can guide your Senior through the decision making process of downsizing to a bungalow or condo, long term care facility, independent living, or active lifestyle community. We can arrange for community home tours and help you understand the costs and benefits of each option. We are Senior Specialists that can help you navigate difficult financial conversations, help with estate planning and sell the home quickly and painlessly. We can help move what is dearest to you and find new homes for what's not. The bottom line - when can help. We can help a little or we can manage it all!
We love helping. It's kind of our thing.
"It's heartbreaking, it's tough - you're seeing someone that's living an independent life, confident and happy where she is....
and all of a sudden..."
"Every situation is different dealing with a senior, but they're all the same in that you're giving back to someone who typically has given a lot to society - and now it's their time to be looked after"
We're partners. We're friends. We all have the same goals - we all want to help. We are building new networks everyday. These are just some of the people in our group. Call us - we will put you in touch with partner that can best help you.
