SASH CLIENT STORY

Recently a family called SASH because they were concerned about their grandparents. Their Grandma had taken a few falls in the home, and was overwhelmed with caring for Grandpa, whose dementia was getting worse. They were both reluctant to leave their home but knew it was the best choice for safety.

SASH worked with the senior homeowners and the family members for over five months, allowing their Grandma to proceed at her pace and not feel rushed. SASH paid for their move to an assisted living community, including many hours of packing and sorting.

When the family faced challenges along the way, SASH was flexible and accommodating, including changing the closing date, allowing for household items to be shipped out of the area, and waiting to take keys to the home until after a much-anticipated yard sale.

SASH's service also included a gorgeous "Welcome To Your New Home" bouquet delivered to Grandma's room at the assisted living community, a follow-up visit, and final signing of the home sale papers right in her new home.

In every situation, it is our goal to design SASH's purchase of the senior's home to meet the homeowners' specific needs and plans. Our client care is the most important part of what we do.

Call and find out how we can help your senior client have a private, easy, and custom- designed home sale! 1-888-400-SASH (7274)
