A Place for Everything™, LLC has developed a workshop called: "Rightsizing-Right Now ©" - A Workshop Series for Proactive Seniors and their Families. (a polite way of saying "downsizing"). This workshop helps seniors and their families prepare for the future and not let crisis dictate what happens to them and their belongings. Too many of us have had to make decisions for our parents or our loved ones in a crisis mode. Being proactive, being organized, being prepared, and making your wishes known is the greatest legacy a person can leave to the family. In four, two-hour sessions, attendees are motivated to start the process of downsizing right now. It is a fantastic opportunity to work with a professional facilitator/organizer.

The workshops are an innovative concept that is of great value to our senior population and their families. Planning ahead is crucial. A Place for Everything is there to help move the process forward by initiating discussions, being involved and supportive, and showing the way to begin letting go of the "stuff" and keeping the memories. We understand the language of tears, and we hope to help families remember who should be in charge while emptying the family home. Planning ahead is an important part of transitioning to a more carefree lifestyle. Seniors needn't fear the future, if they have control over it!
