On June 5th, Sterling Estates of East Cobb partnered with Stroll Huntcliff to host an engaging panel discussion, “How to Avoid Downsizing Disasters,” for the Huntcliff community. Held in the heart of the neighborhood, the event offered valuable guidance to those considering a move to a senior living community.

 

Panelists emphasized the importance of starting early, involving family in the conversation, and preparing well in advance. One key takeaway: begin cleaning out your home early, but don’t discard items until after an estate sale consultation, as many items still hold value.

 

The panel also highlighted how location matters when selecting your next home. Staying close to trusted physicians, longtime friends, church groups, and adult children can make all the difference when deciding which community is right for you.

 

A highlight of the event was hearing from Carolyn, a former Huntcliff neighbor and now resident at Sterling Estates, who offered a candid reflection on her move during her husband’s dementia journey. She spoke about the uncertainty and emotion that came with such a decision, and how finding a community that truly cared offered a kind of support that changed everything for her and her husband. At Sterling Estates, she not only found support, but also deep, lasting friendships that have brought light and strength through a difficult chapter.
