Senior Downsizing Assistance in Madison, WI
Caring Companion provides senior downsizing assistance to seniors in Madison, Wisconsin — patient, hands-on help sorting a lifetime of belongings and preparing for a move to a smaller home. In Madison that often means working through a long-lived-in Madison home at a patient pace, alongside resources from the Madison Senior Center. We are a family-run, non-medical eldercare service based in Sun Prairie, and the same caregiver comes back every visit.
What senior downsizing assistance includes
Downsizing is emotional work as much as physical work. We go room by room, at whatever pace feels manageable, sorting into keep, gift, donate and discard — and we stop to hear the story behind the things that have one.
Practical help comes with it: packing and labeling boxes, arranging donation drop-offs, measuring what will fit in the new space, and unpacking on the other end so the first night feels like home rather than a storage unit.
No one is rushed and nothing is thrown away without permission. Families often tell us the hardest part was starting — that is exactly the part we are there for.
