Linden Ponds Offers Personalized Moving Support for Seniors

Transitioning to a senior living community can be a daunting task, especially for those who have spent decades in their homes. Linden Ponds, an Erickson Senior Living community in Hingham, Mass., addresses this challenge by offering exclusive access to Planning and Moving Consultant Lynne Smithson-Ford. With 20 years of experience at Linden Ponds, Smithson-Ford provides personalized assistance to simplify the moving process for seniors, from space planning to selecting real estate agents and downsizing.

Bonnie and Ralph DeOrsay, long-time residents of Marshfield, Mass., exemplify the benefits of this service. After joining the Priority List at Linden Ponds, they received tailored advice and support from Smithson-Ford, even before selecting a floor plan. Her visits to their home helped them visualize their new living space and make informed decisions about what to bring along. The couple also benefited from recommendations for trusted professionals, including a real estate agent, a move manager, and a company to handle unwanted items, ensuring a smooth transition.

The DeOrsays' experience underscores the value of early and expert planning when moving to a senior living community. By leveraging the resources and professional network provided by Linden Ponds, they were able to navigate the complexities of selling their farmhouse and downsizing with confidence.
