Once you decide to move into a senior
living community like MorningStar of Glendale, you may be
faced with downsizing decades’ worth of personal items and a houseful of
furnishings. It is no wonder it feels
like an overwhelming task.
Organizing experts have several tips to
help you get started such as beginning with an inventory of your
possessions. After that, create a list
of the things you do not want to part with and another list of items you would
like to give away to family and friends.
Now measure the size of your new space
and create a floor
plan
that gives you a realistic idea of how your furnishings will fit. If the unit is a studio or a smaller, one
bedroom, you do not want to be so crowded you cannot safely move around. It may even turn out that you need to buy some
things like a smaller couch or coffee table.
Your next step should be to evaluate
the things you want to keep to determine if you will have the room. The process will require some give and take but
keep in mind you do not want to bring a lot of useless clutter to your new home.
Also remember at communities such as MorningStar of Glendale, we do much of the
cooking so you will likely need fewer kitchen items.
Any possessions that are left can be
sold, donated or recycled and some charities will even come and pick up pieces
of furniture and items you do not want. When
you get into your new suite or Casita,
use bins and shelving to help organize everything so you can easily get to
it.
