Helping Seniors Feel at Home Again: How We Support Transitions into Senior Living
When a senior makes the decision—or sometimes, the difficult realization—that it’s time to leave their longtime home, it can be one of life’s biggest emotional transitions. At Family Ties Senior Placement and Welcome Home Team, we understand the weight of that moment, and it’s why our work goes far beyond just placement and real estate services.
Together, we’re honored to help seniors and their families navigate every step of the journey into senior housing with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Recently, we were featured in the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging’s New Horizons magazine, offering insight into how to make this move less overwhelming and more empowering for aging adults and their loved ones. It’s a subject that touches so many families—and one we take to heart every day. Read it here: https://issuu.com/newhorizonsomaha/docs/new_horizons_august_2025
A Trusted Team, a Thoughtful Transition
As a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), I’ve seen firsthand how emotional it can be to say goodbye to a longtime family home. Many of the seniors we work with aren’t just moving—they’re letting go of decades of memories, routines, and independence. That’s why we do more than “list the house.”
We take the time to listen, understand each client’s needs, and work alongside Family Ties Senior Placements, our Senior Living Advisor is here to ensure a gentle, step-by-step process that includes:
Personalized senior housing placement options (including assisted living and memory care)
Downsizing and sorting guidance
Help coordinating moves and clean-outs
Expert advice on preparing and selling the home
Ongoing emotional support for both seniors and family caregivers
It’s About More Than a House—It’s About a Home
Our shared mission with Family Ties is simple: to make this transition feel as supported and dignified as possible. We believe that every senior deserves to feel safe, seen, and respected—not rushed or lost in the shuffle of paperwork and logistics.
The recognition by New Horizons was a beautiful reminder that our work is needed, and that families are looking for guidance they can trust. We’re proud to offer that.
