Your home should work for you, not against you. Whether you're planning to stay in the home you love, thinking about rightsizing to something more manageable, or simply trying to get organized and feel more in control, we're here to help you do it thoughtfully and on your terms.
We specialize in helping older adults and their families:
Age in place safely and comfortably: We assess your home and provide a personalized, prioritized plan using Universal Design and Smart Technology so your space adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
Downsize/Rightsize with confidence: Moving from a longtime home is emotional and overwhelming. We guide you through the process with compassion, helping sort, organize, pack, and set up your next chapter with care.
Get organized and reclaim your space: Whether it's a single room or the whole house, we bring calm to the chaos with practical, sustainable solutions.
Plan before a crisis forces the decision: The families who feel most at peace are the ones who planned ahead. We help you get there.
We know you want to stay independent, maintain your style, and avoid burdening your family. That's exactly what we design for.
Stephen and I built Life's Encore Planning from lived experience, not just professional credentials.
For over 25 years, we've worked in service-focused careers rooted in genuine care for people. But the real foundation of this company was built in the living rooms of our own parents and grandparents. We've personally navigated sudden health crises, the emotional weight of downsizing a parent's home, and the exhausting juggle of raising a family while managing an aging loved one's growing needs. We were the "sandwich generation" and we lived every bit of it.
Those experiences didn't just shape us, they became our purpose.
Elizabeth is a Certified Aging in Place Specialists who combines deep personal empathy with real technical expertise.
We bring you the roadmap we wish our own families had. We believe your home should support your dignity, your independence, and your style, without ever looking or feeling "clinical." Beautiful design and smart planning aren't opposites of safety. Done right, they're the same thing.
When you work with us, you're not hiring a contractor. You're gaining a trusted partner who genuinely cares about where and how you live, today and for the years ahead.
At Life's Encore Planning, we don't just help you survive life's transitions. We help you THRIVE.
