Erickson Senior Living Enhances Moving Experience for Seniors with Personalized Support

The transition to a senior living community can be a daunting process for many, but Erickson Senior Living's Ashby Ponds in Ashburn, Va., is changing that narrative with its personalized planning and moving services. Sandy and Paul Wischow's experience underscores the value of these services, as they moved from their house in Reston, Va., to Ashby Ponds with the help of Planning and Moving Consultant Isabel "Izzy" Wilson. Wilson's role was pivotal in coordinating every aspect of their move, from space planning to recommending real estate agents and moving companies, ensuring a smooth transition to their new home.

As members of Ashby Ponds' Priority List, the Wischows benefited from a range of perks, with the personalized moving support standing out as the most impactful. Wilson's approach, which includes home visits to discuss floor plans and customization options, aims to make the moving process as stress-free as possible. This level of support is crucial for seniors, who often face the emotional and physical challenges of downsizing and relocating.

The couple's positive experience was further enhanced by the recommendation of Meg Olympia, a preferred real estate agent from Long and Foster, who provided expert advice on selling their Reston home. Olympia's guidance led to a quick sale, with the Wischows receiving two offers within three days of listing their property. This aspect of the service not only facilitated a faster move but also alleviated the stress associated with selling a home.

Moreover, the Wischows appreciated the assistance in donating and selling items they no longer needed, a process that was handled with care and respect for their belongings. The moving company's attention to detail, such as setting up their bed and unpacking kitchen items on move-in day, allowed the couple to settle into their new home comfortably from the start.

Since their move in February 2024, the Wischows have embraced their new lifestyle at Ashby Ponds, participating in various activities and enjoying the company of family and friends in their new home. Their story is a testament to the importance of comprehensive moving and planning services for seniors, highlighting how such support can transform the moving experience into a positive and empowering journey.
