As seniors prepare to downsize and move to their last home, they often face several concerns and needs.

Here are the top five:

1. **Emotional Support**: Leaving a long-time home can be emotionally challenging. Seniors may need assistance coping with the feelings of loss and nostalgia, along with support from family or counseling services.
2. **Decluttering and Organizing**: Sorting through years of belongings can be overwhelming. Seniors often need help deciding what to keep, donate, or discard, making this process smoother and less stressful.
3. **Finding the Right Living Arrangement**: Choosing a suitable new home, whether it’s a smaller house, apartment, or assisted living facility, is crucial. Seniors may require guidance in researching options that fit their needs and budget.
4. **Financial Planning**: Downsizing can impact finances significantly. Seniors often need help understanding the financial implications, including the sale of their current home, moving costs, and budgeting for their new living situation.
5. **Health and Mobility Considerations**: Seniors may have specific health or mobility needs that influence their new living arrangements. They may need assistance in finding a home that accommodates these requirements, including accessibility features or proximity to healthcare facilities.

Addressing these concerns can help ensure a smoother transition to a new, more manageable living situation.
