Aging in Place
My dad is widowed and suffers from multiple health issues. When he needed to downsize, The Happy Home Crew worked with him at his pace, communicating clearly and preparing him well for the changes ahead.

By streamlining your possessions, our Aging in Place services help you make informed decisions about your current home and re-works your space for maximum safety, comfort and style right now.
Sometimes staying where you are with a deliberate and strategic reorganization is the best course of action. There are many benefits to staying in your own home as you age—love for your neighborhood, the ease of knowing where things are and the support of your community.
But years of accumulation can make it hard to envision new possibilities. Physical needs may also change as we age, making it important to create an easy-to-navigate, adaptable living space.
Our Aging in Place Services
Taking Inventory
A detailed, itemized list of your household contents, critical for insurance purposes and estate planning.
Decluttering
Guidance with sorting and organization of household items so you can make room for what you truly value. We also oversee the dispersal of items to family, friends and those in need.

Safety-conscious, attractive floor plans and designs that will revitalize and future-proof your home—all while respecting your memories and personal tastes.
Creating a Smart Home
With technology today, you have the opportunity to outfit your home with a system that not only can be tailored to your every need but that can be operated from your smartphone.
Capable Living Tips
As we age, our needs can change.
Mobility
Balance and agility challenges can be addressed by using soft-cornered, steady furniture that can be leaned on, slip-resistant floors and non-skid mats.
Vision
High contrast colors, carefully placed lighting and intelligent organizational systems make it easier to see and find important items.
Safety
Handrails on both sides of the staircase, clearly defined tread edges help prevent falls; single-handed faucets and pressure-balanced controls reduce the chance of nasty scalds.
