Best Life Transitions

Best Life Transitions is all about making the transition to your “best life” and helping you or your loved one with the next stage of their journey.

When circumstances change, relocating from the family home or long-term residence to a new residence, retirement village or assisted living is a daunting prospect for many seniors, even with the help and support of family members or friends.

For anyone facing the prospect of moving on their own, and particularly those who may be unfamiliar with or frustrated by technology (i.e. computers, email and the internet), it can seem an insurmountable task.

Moving comes with its own set of challenges – finding new accommodation, preparing documentation, updating details, arranging removalists, disconnection and reconnection of utilities – the ‘To Do’ list can be incredibly overwhelming.

What our clients say

Emmy Massengill

Dear Virginia, I too want to say thank you!! You not only have been providing a hugely necessary service, but you’ve done it in a way that inspires trust and confidence. Nancy clearly experiences you as more than a business. You’re a strong and positive presence in her life. Your gift of self, stepping in when we, who dearly love her cannot, is more than any of us could have dreamt possible.

Virginia, the most significant thing you did for me was get rid of my worries!

Keith

Without exception, Virginia was always on time, she held my hand during difficult moments; She recognises the 'best of the best' with regards to various contractors and tradespeople to facilitate the move. Virginia is definitely not a time waster - she just gets on with it!

Anna L.

Whilst I was in hospital, Virginia met with removalists and then arranged the move from my old home to new - on discharge from hospital it was so wonderful to go to my new home. Virginia was very attentive and ensured I was consulted and kept up to date throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Virginia!

Eva K.

Virginia was invaluable when my sister moved into a nursing home. She assisted with the sales process of her apartment, preparing it for sale and arranging tradesmen and cleaners to attend. She also spent considerable time navigating all of the Centrelink paperwork for my sister. I am so grateful to Virginia for her assistance!

• You find getting up and down the stairs is often a challenge
• You’re too far away from help and family
• Perhaps you are tired of meal preparation

• You may not want to burden your children as you see them to be too busy raising their own children to provide the help that you need.
