Home organization, decluttering and staging can improve the quality of your life.
Posted by: | CommentsA house full of stuff getting you overwhelmed?
I constantly come across seniors who have collected things throughout their lifetime. Sometimes
this collecting becomes a hazard, since many years of collecting takes up space. Often seniors
may find they can no long maneuver about since the collecting after awhile may cover every inch
of the floor.
Not only is collecting to this extent unhealthy it can cause many other difficulties. If a person is
trying to sell or refinance their home appearance is very important, if you want top dollar. With a
FHA reverse mortgages, I have had several underwriters refuse to clear the loan to close,
because of an overwhelming amount of clutter. Clutter can be a fire or health hazard, amongst
many other things.
I have been speaking with What is a senior move manager?
Katie Hustead, Owner of Paper Moon Moves
Here is what Katie has to say……….
"If you or a senior you love need to downsize and move, don’t stress about doing it alone. A
new industry, senior move management, has emerged to fill in when seniors or their caregivers
need help with the tedious process of dismantling a home and moving.
Most of us start with a floor plan of the new home and help the senior decide which of their things
will fit comfortably. Then we help them sell, donate, recycle or ship gifts to family and friends. And
we can manage the move

SUN-B, Senior Umbrella Network of Brooklyn event 11-19-09
Posted by: | CommentsI attended a wonderful event last Thursday. At the event we watched a short film titled Beautiful
Hills of Brooklyn, followed by a discussion. This terrific event was put together by Vickie Ellner,
Chair/President, Senior Umbrella Network of Brooklyn (SUN-B), www.SUNB.org and her Board Members. The meeting was
cohosted by Sephardic Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and the accommodations were
outstanding. SUN-B is a 501c3, not for profit group consisting of "Professionals Making a
Difference for Seniors in Our Community".
I am proud to say this is my 5th year as a member of SUN-B. This is a great organization. The
resources this group gives me are unbelievable. When a client is in need, I can just say let me get
so and so on the line, he or she specializes in that area. Our seniors are thrilled at the resources
this makes available to them.
The film depicted an elderly woman named Jessie who lost her sister, Min and is living a lonely
existence. She scrimps by on social security and at one point her check is lost. She manages to
get by until it is replaced. In addition she loses her best friend and sister, Min. Jessie is a strong
women and manages to go on. Her apartment is vandalized and she feels she must move due to
her fear for her safety. The film truly captures the essence of the life of our average senior, and
the life of many of our clients. It will surely bring a tear to your eyes as it did mine.

Senior Center Laughter and Exercise
Posted by: | Comments
Recently I have sponsored my friend Howard Newman of Jokesercise, to perform at many
of the NY senior centers. Howard is a wonderful comedian and his jokes and exercise program
has seniors rolling with laughter. They say laughter is the best medicine, and I agree.
Elder Law Trusts etc.

Understanding your options is important. Seniors should consult with an Elder Law
Attorney to protect the assets they may have spent a lifetime aquiring. Find out how to protect
your assets against liens for long term care. Knowledge is power.
