WHO THIS IS FOR:

You’re in the right place if:

• Your parents have lived in the same home for decades
  
  

• You’re starting to worry about maintenance, stairs, or safety
  
  

• You don’t want to wait for a fall, illness, or crisis to force decisions
  
  

• You want to help—but don’t want to become the “bad guy”
  
  

• You’re unsure when (or if) selling the home actually makes sense
  
  

Many Denver-area families wait too long—not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know where to start.

Denver Right-Sizing exists to change that.

RIGHT-SIZING VS DOWNSIZING:

Why “Right-Sizing” Works Better Than “Downsizing”

Most parents don’t resist moving to a smaller home.

They resist losing control.

Right-sizing focuses on:

• Safety and comfort
  
  

• Lower maintenance
  
  

• Lifestyle and independence
  
  

• Proximity to family and community
  
  

Downsizing feels like loss.

Right-sizing feels like a choice.

Language matters—and it often determines whether families move forward or stay stuck.
