Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

Thanks Rosemary for bringing up this important topic. I've lived in my home for over 50 years and the maintenance is getting harder. I have no family to help so am relying on "professional movers" to help me through this process. Any ideas of professionals in the St. Paul area who could help? Also, is it wise to move during the Pandemic?
Thanks for any suggestions

A friend of mine recently moved in the Twin Cities. She used two “capable” women for her move and was extremely satisfied.

Hope you find comfort and peace with your move!
How soon are you looking at moving? You said you lived in st paul where would you be moving to? Last weekend I bought some popcorn from some kids in boy scouts/ cub scouts you might be able to get some kids to volunteer to help you box things up for a badge that they can earn.

Hello -
I live in your general area. If I was seeking this kind of help, I would contact Gentle Transitions, Sholom Homes, Presbyterian Homes, Catholic Eldercare or the Ebenezer Society for advice. They have many years of experience in downsizing seniors, and can most likely refer you to someone reputable for help. If you are affiliated with a church, they may also be able to advise.
Based on my experience with seniors, and my cousin's occupation (in Texas) as a care arranger, I would advise you to make sure anyone you hire is bonded and insured and you or someone you trust should personally check their references from people who have actually used their service.
