HOME
Sell a House
Let an experienced Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) address your priorities in selling. Whether it’s wanting to maximize proceeds or sell quickly, let your agent maximize your results and minimize your stress.
Buy a House
Work with an expert who understands the current needs and anticipates the future needs of a senior (or soon to be a senior!) buying a house.
Empty a House
Removing years of accumulated belongings from a home prior to sale is daunting for anyone. Move managers know how to declutter, repurpose and work with seniors reluctant to let go of unused items.
Estate Sales
An estate sale delivers the dual benefit of removing unneeded items from the home and turning them into cash.
Senior Community Selection
Locating the right senior community is challenging. Work with an expert who knows all the communities and can help pick the right one.
Get the assistance you deserve.
HEALTH
Hearing Aids
Hearing loss is more than inconvenient; it can result in isolation and diminished intellectual capability. A hearing test is the first step to improved communication.
Home Health Providers
Attentive home health providers (medical and non-medical) can help seniors age in place safely.
Case Management
A case manager acts like a general contractor for a senior’s overall care, organizing and supervising the various providers needed for complex care or when there are no local family members.
Dental
Good dental health is critical for a senior’s overall health.
Podiatry
Podiatric care can enhance and improve a senior’s mobility.
Hospice
Hospice providers can make the end of life fulfilling and even joyous while making sure the patient is as comfortable as possible.
Supplemental Medicare Plans
Between annual changes and a multitude of choices, navigating Medicare requires the help of an expert who knows how to match the senior with the best supplemental plan.
Get the help you need.
LEGAL
Trust & Estate Attorneys
Make sure your assets are protected moving into retirement and looking beyond. At a minimum, everyone should consider having a will, power of attorney, medical directives and some families should consider having a trust.
Elder Law Attorneys
Sometimes the special needs of seniors and their families require the knowledge of a skilled and knowledgeable attorney who knows how to protect seniors and their assets from abuse, both physical and financial.
Legal comfort begins here.
FINANCIAL
Long-Term Care Insurance
The high cost of living in a senior community can be offset or eliminated with long-term care insurance, which will also protect family assets and permit a spouse’s lifestyle to continue without compromise.
Final Expense Insurance
Funerals can be expensive and several insurance carriers offer lower cost policies that will cover final expenses, eliminating the family’s worry about where that large expenditure will come from.
Retirement Planning & Budgeting
The time to plan for retirement should begin when someone is in their 20’s. Starting to plan in one’s 60’s is late but can still be successful, depending upon the asset base. Professional guidance is critical to making sure one’s money lasts through retirement.
Reverse Mortgage
For some seniors, their home is almost their sole asset. A reverse mortgage can unlock the equity in the home and create a happier, lower stress retirement.
Credit Counseling
It’s never too late to remedy decisions one made earlier in life. Improving one’s credit score can open purchasing opportunities, even later in life.
Get the relief you’re looking for.
TRANSPORTATION
Medical Transportation
A number of options exist to transport seniors with medical conditions that require special vehicles. Vehicles that transport people in wheelchairs can be rented on a daily basis or for extended periods.
Need a Ride
There are low-cost ways for seniors to be safely and reliably transported when they don’t drive and friends and family aren’t available.
Sell a Car
Turning a car into cash while maximizing the return and minimizing stress and effort is possible.
Make your next trip easy.
