4 basic downsizing tips for seniors

Getting rid of the things that don’t matter saves space for the things that do, says Wittman. “Sometimes, there’s a fine line between keeping something because you’ve had it a long time and keeping it because it’s important.” She offers tips to separate the two when helping seniors move:

1. Follow the “one year” rule. A good way to tell if you’ll use something is if you’ve used it within the past year.
2. Keep memories, not clutter.
3. Consolidate collections. ... Consider bringing the two that are most regularly used and photographing the others to put in a keepsake album.
4. Sentimental value is personal. “Don’t keep something because you feel like you’re supposed to,” says Wittman. A crystal wedding present may seem important, but a cheap souvenir from a favorite trip could have more sentimental value. Encourage your parent to take what makes them happy.

Older homeowners face different challenges when selling a home.

"By the age of 55 or 60, most people have purchased or sold a home and just about everyone has been through a move. But, after 55, real estate transactions and even moving, are more complicated. If children were raised in the home, the thought of leaving the place where some of the dearest memories were made can be painful."

Interesting read: ..."To conduct their research, the study authors brought on 1,954 volunteers in the Rush Memory and Aging Project, which tracked the health of older Chicago residents, none of whom experienced dementia when starting the study in 1997. Throughout the course of the study to date, each participant filled out personality tests and underwent cognitive exams each year. The researchers found that the people who had high scores in conscientiousness and low ones in neuroticism were least likely to experience cognitive decline during the study. Specifically, the 80-year-old participants with conscientious personalities lived two years longer without signs of dementia in comparison to those with lower scores in that personality field."
