A senior and family members unpacking together in a bright new apartment

Moving a parent or loved one into senior living is a big decision, and it usually means two separate jobs: finding the right community, and then actually making the move. Families tell us that juggling both is overwhelming.

That's why we're proud to announce our new partnership with Porchlight Senior Services, a woman-owned senior living advisory and placement service based in Richmond.

What the partnership means for your family

Porchlight helps you find the right place. Their advisors meet with your family, learn about your loved one's needs, budget and preferences, and guide you through independent living, assisted living and memory care options across the Richmond area.

Gentle Transitions handles the move. Once you've chosen a community, our senior move team takes it from there. We work with the same family, follow the same plan, and work toward the same move-in date.

How we help seniors

Downsizing and sorting: We help decide what to keep, donate, gift to family or sell, at a pace that feels comfortable.
Floor plans: We map out the new apartment so favorite furniture fits before moving day.
Packing and moving: Careful packing and patient movers who understand seniors.
Set-up: We unpack, make the bed, hang pictures and arrange the new home so it feels like home on day one.
Family coordination: One point of contact, even when family members live out of state.

Serving the greater Richmond area

Richmond, Midlothian, Chesterfield, Mechanicsville, Ashland, Quinton, Tappahannock, Williamsburg, Newport News and Hampton Roads.
