Our parents had filled their Western New York home with books, photographs, countless pieces of artwork, glassware, sofas, recliners, and other heavy furniture. There were also numerous tools, a testament to Dad's love of fixing things, and bountiful clothing, a testament to Mom's regal style. For my parents, the house and its contents defined their hard work and dedication. But over time, it became too much for them. Over the years, we suggested moving into an apartment, offering relief from raking leaves in the fall, mowing grass in the summer, or plowing the driveway in the winter. But they couldn't bear to part with a half-a-century worth of memories. Dementia changed everything. Our parents now live outside the home they cherished, under the care of healthcare workers. And now we, their children, were left emptying the house and listing it for sale. Emotionally, we were unprepared to confront our childhood memories and sift through our parents' belongings, deciding what should be kept and sold. Thankfully, someone recommended Caring Transitions, which specializes in situations like this. Alison Potter, president of the Buffalo business, toured my parents' home. She told us to remove what we wanted to keep and leave the rest to her and her team. They spent more than a week removing garbage and debris. Then, they grouped items and sold them in lots during an online auction. By the end of the process, they turned the house back over to us, cleaned and ready for sale. Alison was a caring partner in this difficult decision. We highly recommend her and her company.

I am so grateful this service exists! caring transitions helped when a family member had to move from an assisted living apartment into a much smaller room in a nursing home. They moved everything we no longer needed and donated it to charity. The price was well worth the excellent service for this overwhelming task and they were available to do it in a very short time frame. I highly recommend Caring Transitions!

The team at Caring Transitions did an outstanding job of helping our family during a difficult time. The CT team was working with us to find a place for my in-laws to call home during the next stage of their lives. Unfortunately, my father-in-law passed suddenly and unexpectedly, and the CT team needed to quickly change gears and find a find a safe, compassionate location for my mother-in-law and her beloved cat. Matt at CT worked with us to address her needs and found a great location for her. They coordinated between the rehab center and assisted care facility and even helped us to quickly move her furniture and set up her new residence to make her feel as comfortable as possible upon her arrival. I highly recommend Caring Transitions and their team - they were compassionate, supportive and efficient during a difficult time. Thanks CT!!

Words cannot describe... last year I used Caring Transitions to help my mom start the downsizing process- they were amazing with her and so patient. I only wish my mom would have allowed more to be done earlier to see what benefits it would have brought to her life. I believe too daunting to think about and thought she was saving money as well. While they are very reasonable ( considering the tasks at hand) Ive come to learn theres no price you can put on Peace of Mind in times of despair... The beginning of the year mom passed and we had to come from out of state to make all arrangements and sort though her things. It was an overwhelming task and not much could be accomplished in 2 weeks. I made a call to Alison for an assessment and she came the same day and put our minds at ease - not to worry, they had this! And she and her team of experts handled with care and compassion everthing for us appropriately. What amazing services were provided. I could not have accomplished what you all provided in a few days. It would have taken me, easily, a couple of months, if not longer!!! To anyone considering using them, just tell Alison what you need, you will be surprised what all they provide and how quickly and efficiently it will all come together! I've shared your business card with mom's circle of friends. Hoping more will see the value of the many services you provide and contact you! I wish I lived closer as I would use you myself! Thank you thank you- you all are such a blessing.

Allison & team did an amazing job. They went above & beyond helping our family with a very difficult & emotional task. Allison was available and responsive throughout, answering questions, being supportive, respecting privacy and concerns, and reassuring us that things would be handled properly. Highly recommend. We couldn't have done it without them.
