 Sara & Leon's Story Sara age 80 and Leon age 90 have been relatively healthy and living independently in a condominium. Leon still drives and bowls; Sara is still involved in charitable work and is an active choral member. Lately, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain their home. Housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, shopping and cooking are more of a burden. They are now considering a move to an independent living facility. After an extended search they find a facility that meets their needs. However, the rooms are smaller than their condo. After some initial excitemnet about moving and finding relief from their household burdens, realization set in that they will have to downsize. They will have to dispose of many of their cherished possessions --- some of which have been in the family for generations. The thought of leaving their home and downsizing causes an overwhelming doubt about their decision. Research show that change can lead to anxiety and depression. Even having to decide to leave behind that favorite chair or speical household accessory, creates conflicts and sadness. This conflict can dely, and even prevent someone from making an important move. The creative solution provided by Senor Assistance enabled Sara and Leon to transition to their new living arragements "Just Like Home!"
