Who this is for
Three readers, one guide
I wrote this for the older adult thinking maybe it's time, for the daughter in Boulder Googling at midnight after a hard call with mom, and for the son flying in from out of state who has one weekend to help his parents make a plan.
It's not a sales brochure. It's the conversation I'd have with you over coffee, in a format you can read, share with your siblings, and come back to.
What's inside
The chapters that matter most
When is it actually time?
The honest signs that a long-time home no longer fits, and the ones that just feel scary but aren't urgent.
Rightsize vs. age in place
A real comparison: cost, freedom, family proximity, and what your future self will thank you for.
55+ communities profiled
Anthem Ranch, Skyestone, Heritage Todd Creek, Heritage Eagle Bend, Encore at Eastlake. The good, the trade-offs, the price points.
The financial picture
Equity, taxes, capital gains exclusion, Medicaid look-back, reverse mortgages, and when each one matters.
How to talk to your kids
Or how to talk to your parents. Scripts, sequencing, and the meetings I've seen go well.
The actual move
Sort, donate, pack, sell, close, settle. The 6 to 9 month sequence that works.

“If the guide answers your questions and you never call me, that's a win. The guide is the work. The relationship is the bonus.”
