Susan was extremely frustrated. It had been a tough year. When her father passed away last year it had been very difficult for her mother. But when her sister died suddenly just seven months ago, Mom's personality began to change. Her mom's next-door neighbor had spoken with Susan just last month and expressed concern about her mom living alone in the large house. She seemed confused and very forgetful and, according to the neighbor, Mom definitely should not be driving.

    Susan had plenty of room in her home for her mom to move in with her, and that would probably be the best solution to the problem. But Susan lived several states away from her mother. She had a successful law practice and was very busy with numerous court dates already scheduled well in advance. Where was she going to find the time to deal with a problem of this magnitude?

    There were so many things that needed to be done: she would have to convince her mother that this move was best for her; the house could use some serious updating before they put it on the market; a Realtor who was sensitive to her mother's situation would have to be retained; she would have to find some way to dispose of all the extra furnishings that a four-bedroom house can accommodate; and she needed to find some way to meet with moving companies to get estimates. Mom certainly couldn't handle any of this. How was she going to find reputable workers? Who would oversee the sorting and packing, and who would be there to give her mom the emotional support she needed as all these things transpired? And, quite frankly, Susan was also worried about becoming the "bad guy" in her mother's eyes.

    However, Susan decided she needed to start somewhere, so she called a national moving company to schedule a time to meet with them at her mother's home and begin this long and seemingly impossible task. As she explained her situation to the moving representative, the representative suggested that she get in touch with Always Home, Inc., a company that specializes in assisting senior adults who are going through just such a transition.

    To Susan's great relief, she learned that Always Home, Inc. could coordinate and oversee every detail of her mom's transition on her behalf. They would stay in contact with Susan on a daily basis and pass all decisions through her before they took any action. The Always Home, Inc. liaisons would personally walk her mom through the entire transition with compassion and a complete understanding of her situation.

    Susan felt an enormous burden roll from her shoulders with the knowledge that her mother would be well taken care of, and that every aspect of her transition would be handled with caring concern and professionalism.
