Senior Resources

One of the things I am able to do as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist is to connect my clients with the resources they need. Below are a few of the resources I recommend most often, if you are in need of additional resources that are not listed below, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Senior Living Communities: If you, or someone you know, are in the process of moving to a senior living community (independent living, assisted living, memory care), then I would highly recommend that you contact Dawn Michelle with Choice Connections of Virginia. She works closely with seniors and their adult children to identify the community that is right for them based on level of care needed, budget and personal preferences. In most cases Dawn’s fee is covered through an agreement with the community so it does not typically cost the family. To learn more about Choice Connections of VA visit their website at https://www.choiceconnectionsva.com/ or email Dawn directly at dmichelle@choiceconnectionsva.com.

Estate Services: In most cases, my clients are in the process of downsizing their home as they make a move to live with adult children or in a senior living community. If this is a situation that you find yourself in – I highly recommend contacting Laura Kinsman with Williamsburg Estate Services. They will clear everything out of your home that you do not want to move with you or give to a family member and will sell it via their online auction. Whatever does not sell, they will donate to a local organization on your behalf. The best part is – you don’t have to do a thing! They will clear everything out of your home and will even clean the house once it is empty and ready to sell. You can reach Laura Kinsman at https://williamsburgestate.com/ or at lkinsman@williamsburgestatate.com.

In Home Care: For those in need of in home care before they are able to move in with adult children or into a senior living community, I recommend contacting Rebecca Andreson with Visiting Angels. They provide a wide variety of in home services and are very selective in the people they hire. You can reach Visiting Angels at (757) 599-4145 or at visitingangels.com/newportnews.
