Erickson Senior Living Enhances Moving Experience for Seniors with Personalized Support

Moving to a senior living community can be a daunting task, especially for those who have accumulated a lifetime of possessions. Jane and Michael Doyle, who recently moved to Ann’s Choice, an Erickson Senior Living community in Bucks County, Pa., found solace in the personalized support provided by Planning and Moving Consultant Lisa Sicilia. The couple, transitioning from a two-bedroom townhouse with a full basement, benefited immensely from Sicilia’s expertise in deciding what to bring, donate, or discard.

As Priority List members, Jane and Michael enjoyed several perks, including first choice of available residences and access to exclusive events. However, the most significant benefit was the personalized planning and moving support. Sicilia’s services extend beyond advice; she assists with creating furniture layouts, recommending preferred vendors, and coordinating services, aiming to make the move as stress-free as possible. Her approach includes complimentary home visits to understand the residents' needs and goals for their new living space, ensuring a tailored moving plan.

For the Doyles, Sicilia’s visit was transformative. She took measurements and created a detailed floor plan, providing a clear vision of how their furniture would fit in their new home. This not only facilitated the decluttering process but also assisted the movers. Sicilia also connects residents with a network of trusted professionals, from real estate agents to moving companies, all vetted for quality service. Jane and Michael utilized one of the recommended moving companies and received advice on donation options, highlighting the comprehensive nature of the support provided.

Post-move, the Doyles are thriving at Ann’s Choice, engaging in social activities and enjoying the community’s amenities. Sicilia emphasizes the importance of early planning and downsizing, especially for long-term homeowners, and assures her continuous support throughout the process. This personalized approach not only eases the physical transition but also contributes to the emotional well-being of seniors moving to Ann’s Choice, making it a model for senior living communities nationwide.
