"Survey Says..."


In the words of the famous game show host, Richard Dawson, "Survey Says...".

But this post has nothing to do with the "Family Feud", Richard Dawson or any real life survey results.

This blog entry is about the number one comment I get from people when I tell them about A Stress-Less Transition.    

"Survey Says":  

Where were you x months ago when I was dealing with my relative???

Part of my responsibility as a member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers is to educate others on this relatively new industry.  We are dedicated to assisting older adults and families with the physical and emotional demands of downsizing, relocating or modifying their homes.  While the industry is new, the challenge of transitioning an older adult is not.  Helping to make people aware of all the services available to seniors is also an important part of our commitment.  

A Stress-Less Transition serves the Tampa area (Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties) and is a trusted resource for older adults and families.  Our mission is to alleviate much of the anxiety that naturally comes with a later-in-life move to a retirement community by handling all the details.  We also help families with the daunting task of figuring out what to do with a houseful of furniture and belongings when a loved one goes into a nursing home or passes away.  Taking care of the details of a transition is just one of the ways we can free up time for families to focus on their loved one.

We have built relationships in the Tampa Bay area with other senior-sensitive professionals (elder law attorneys, geriatric care managers, bankers, financial planners, Realtors, appraisers, etc.) who are experts in their fields and who can help older adults and their adult children.  We have also spent time learning about the many communities in the area (independent living, assisted living, memory care, etc.) as well as the many agencies that offer home care services (health, skilled nursing and companion care), in order to make informed suggestions.  

While every Senior Move Manager runs their business a little differently, there are people around the country dedicated to helping older adults and families.  To find a Senior Move Manager near you, please visit the NASMM website.
