We help seniors and their families downsize a lifetime of belongings with compassion and care.
To change people’s perception of moving. Yes, moving can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Moving can also be an easy, stress-free, Cheerful Transition, and we’d love the opportunity to prove it to you!
Cheerful Transitions started after experiencing a very stressful move with my elderly parents. Mom and Dad lived in a beautiful three bedroom home for over 40 years. You can only imagine how many memories and belongings they accumulated throughout those four decades. However, after my father fell ill my mother was left with no other option but to sell the house and move into a small condo where they could live maintenance free and get the assistance they needed.
Moving turned out to be a lot more expensive and emotionally stressful than anyone thought it would be. My two sisters and I lived in different states and had to make multiple round trips to go and help our parents downsize and move. All the traveling and days off of work put us behind thousands of dollars. Things would have gone a lot faster if we didn’t have to convince Mom that she didn’t need to take everything with her to their new home. There were items in boxes not touched in years, but still she was adamant about keeping them. Months later and with limited success, Mom and Dad finally moved into their new condo. Many boxes ended up in storage and unpacking the new apartment was beyond tiresome, expensive and challenging.
Once Mom and Dad were finally settled in I thought to myself, “There has got to be an easier way to do this.” If only we had an unbiased person to offer advice, assistance and emotional support… that would have made a huge difference in reducing stress levels and helping with the endless amount of decisions. So my husband and I used our personal experiences to create a unique moving experience for seniors and their families which streamlines the moving process at an affordable flat rate. With patience, understanding and a strong focus on problem-solving, we strive to make a difference in the lives of all individuals who need a helping hand relocating.
Today, Rich and I are very proud of our company and gain much satisfaction knowing that it is our knowledge, compassion and personal touch that ensures a positive experience during one of life’s most challenging phases.
