How to Help an Older Parent Downsize Their Home
Downsizing a longtime home can involve much more than deciding what to keep. There may be decades of belongings to sort, family decisions to make, furniture to move, donations to schedule, repairs to complete, vendors to manage, and a property to prepare for its next step.
AJS Home Realty helps older adults and families manage the property-related work that comes with downsizing, relocating closer to family, moving to assisted living, or preparing a longtime home for sale.
You make the decisions. AJS helps manage the work required to carry them out.
When a Parent Is Moving to Assisted Living
When a parent moves to assisted living or another senior living community, the move itself is often only one part of the transition. The family may still need to address belongings, donations, furniture, repairs, cleanouts, contractors, utilities, property access, maintenance, and preparation of the current home.
AJS Home Realty manages the property-related work surrounding the transition so families have one point of contact helping keep the home, vendors, timeline, and next steps moving forward. AJS does not make decisions for the homeowner or family. We help manage the approved property plan once those decisions are made.

Support for Adult Children and Out-of-State Families
Managing an aging parent's home can be difficult when you live hours away, several states away, or simply cannot be present for every appointment.

Your family remains in control of the decisions while AJS manages the property-related work locally.
Where Do I Start When Downsizing a Home?
Start with the destination, timeline and property.
Before deciding which movers, cleanout companies, donation services or contractors are needed, understand where the homeowner is going, what can realistically go with them, the condition of the current property, and when everything needs to happen.
Property Readiness Assessment
The Property Readiness Assessment looks at the home in the context of the transition. AJS identifies property priorities, service needs, timing concerns, potential risks, and the recommended order of work.
You receive a written plan showing what needs attention, what should happen next, and which property-related services may be required.
