Right at Home Solutions for Aging in Place

About Changing Places Aging in Place Services.

With safety at the core of everything we do, Changing Places provides home safety assessments for seniors, and tailored consultative, organizational, and support from certified aging in place specialists (CAPS) — helping seniors live safely and independently, wherever home may be.

While we continue to provide expert relocation and moving services for seniors through life’s transitions, we’re equally committed to empowering seniors to remain safely and confidently in the homes they love.

How We Can Help you Age in Place.

Our comprehensive senior home safety evaluation identifies current and potential challenges and suggests modifications, providing a clear roadmap to systematically prepare your home for safe, comfortable living. By taking action today, you preserve your options, maintain control of your timeline, and stay ready – whether facing a change in health or simply a change of heart.

  • Assessment or Audit Mode: We’ll conduct a comprehensive senior home safety assessment. By considering your current health, potential future challenges, existing concerns, and the unique features of your living space, we develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
  • Choice Mode: This plan provides recommendations for immediate needs, future considerations, and long-term planning, as appropriate to your situation.
  • Implementation Mode: Our team will manage and coordinate the services and support outlined in your personalized plan. With each request, we will work with you on timing, budget and personal preferences.
  • Evaluation Mode: Any change in health or change of heart may require an updated home safety evaluation or care plan. These changes will naturally restart the cycle of evaluation, decision-making, implementation, and review.

Changing Places went above and beyond while I moved my mother from independent living to assisted living in a different facility on the other side of Portland.

Kimberly Steele and her team at Changing Places are ANGELS!! Before I hired them I felt totally overwhelmed about moving out of state. An immense task lay before me. But Kimberly and her team transformed the move into actually a positive experience!!!

The Changing Places staff was so upbeat and attentive to my elderly mom as we prepared for a move to Assisted Living. Truly, we could not have made this move with any kind of ease without Kimberly and her crew's help.

Kimberly, Kelli and the rest of Changing Places made moving our loved one a very stress-free experience. They are caring, gentle, patient, and skilled in the areas of what seniors need to move at a comfortable pace.
