Christmas

As December comes to a close and we look toward a brand-new year, many of us feel the call to reset. We reflect on what we’ve carried through the past 12 months—and sometimes, that includes a house full of things we no longer need. For our elderly loved ones, this buildup of “stuff” can be even more overwhelming. Heavy items, broken furniture, and years of accumulation can make it hard to enjoy a peaceful and safe home.

As the festive season approaches, many of us start preparing our homes to welcome family and friends. For some, that means decorating, baking, and getting into the holiday spirit. But for others—especially our elderly loved ones—it can mean facing the stress of clutter, old furniture, and junk that has quietly built up over the year.
