Edgemere Invites Seniors to “Discover How to Move with Ease”
Preparing for a move to senior living can be emotional and overwhelming. For seniors thinking about – or preparing to make – this move, Edgemere Senior Living in Dallas will share tips during its seminar “Discover How to Move with Ease” on Thursday, June 5 at 2:00 PM.
“Rightsizing is more than a change of address,” said Edgemere Executive Director Teresa Bates. “Seniors have an opportunity to embrace the advantages of a more manageable residence and maintenance-free living.”
To make the process less cumbersome, Bates offers a few suggestions to get started.
- Ask for help. Engage family, friends, or consider hiring a professional organizer who specializes in senior transitions.
- Identify items that will fit in your new space, then decide what to donate, sell, or throw away.
- Scan photos and documents so you have digital copies; paper takes up a lot of space.
- Decide which family heirlooms you will gift to children or grandchildren.
- Lastly, be kind to yourself. It is ok to feel sad or nostalgic. But remember, memories last forever.
During the seminar, Senior Living, Rightsizing Expert, Lori Olsen, will share her insights on these and other topics including:
- How to begin the process of sorting, organizing, and downsizing.
- Planning your space.
- The positive impact downsizing has on your finances.
“While easier said than done, it is important to focus on the positive,” concluded Bates. “Decluttering means less stress, more freedom, and even financial savings.”
