Guidance for Families Helping Parents Plan Their Next Move

Clear, compassionate guidance for adult children helping a parent downsize, sell a longtime home, or explore next‑step housing.
Whether you live nearby or out of state, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

You’re Not Alone in This

  • Not sure how to help your parent decide whether it’s the right time to move?

  • Trying to manage years of belongings while juggling work and family?

  • Worried about selling a home from a distance—or making the wrong decision?

  • Unsure what housing options are realistic for your parents’ needs, health, and budget?

These feelings are normal. You do NOT have to sort through them alone.

Support for Adult Children Managing a Parent’s Move

Helping a parent plan a move can feel overwhelming, especially when you are balancing your own family, career, or distance. I work directly with adult children to simplify decisions, reduce stress, and guide your parent with dignity and clarity every step of the way.

If you live outside Central Ohio, I act as your on-the-ground partner—coordinating local resources, checking on the home, meeting contractors, and providing clear updates so you stay informed without needing to travel constantly.
