Senior Transition · The Calendar

Ten to twelve months, mapped so nothing collides.

The most common failure in a senior living move is not any single task. It is the collision of calendars: the facility's date, the sale's date, the move, and the family's availability all landing on top of each other. Here is the realistic sequence Nanci builds around.

The Sequence

One milestone at a time, in the right order.

  1. 6-12 months out

    The decision

    The family agrees on the direction, the senior counsels in, and the first tours happen. Nanci introduces the market picture so the plan has a financial shape.

  2. 4-6 months out

    The listing

    The home preps, prices, and lists in the season that fits the calendar. Nanci targets a sale window that leaves the senior flexible.

  3. 2-4 months out

    The offers and the facility

    The sale moves to contract while the senior living deposit and paperwork advance. Both calendars stay on one shared timeline.

  4. 6 weeks out

    Downsizing and cleanout

    Sorting, donating, and packing run with Nanci's partners, room by room, while the senior keeps the day-to-day rhythm.

  5. 2 weeks out

    The handoff

    Closing, keys, and the move into the new place happen in the same window. The senior moves once, straight into the new chapter.

  6. After the move

    The settling

    The unneeded furniture finds new homes, the new space gets arranged, and the family catches a breath. The paperwork closes cleanly behind.

Every family's season is different, and the timeline bends. Nanci builds yours around the two anchors that do not move: the facility's date and the family's budget.
