Sound Transition Team Expands Services for Senior Relocation and Estate Planning

Sound Transition Team announces the expansion of its expert services, providing comprehensive support for families managing senior relocation, downsizing, estate planning, and probate management. The team offers tailored solutions to ensure smooth transitions for aging loved ones.

Olympia, WA, February 21, 2025 — Addressing a Growing Crisis: What Happens When Mom Can’t Come Home?

Led by Ryan Garrison, a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and Certified Probate Expert (CPE), Sound Transition Team provides comprehensive, tailored strategies for families facing one of life’s most challenging transitions. Whether dealing with the sale of a long-held family home, navigating probate complexities, or coordinating a move to assisted living, the firm ensures a stress-free and dignified process.

As the baby boomer generation ages, more families are confronting an urgent reality—what to do when a senior can no longer live independently. A sudden health event, such as a fall, stroke, or cognitive decline, often forces families into immediate decision-making regarding long-term care, financial planning, and estate management.

Sound Transition Team steps in as a trusted partner, offering expert solutions when families need them most.

“Our goal is to eliminate uncertainty and provide clear options when families are in crisis,” says Ryan Garrison, Founder of Sound Transition Team. “Whether it’s helping sell a home, coordinating care, or managing probate, we ensure families have the guidance they need to move forward with confidence.”

Expanded Services: A Tailored Approach to Senior Transitions

To address these growing challenges, Sound Transition Team has expanded its services, now offering:

• Senior Relocation & Downsizing: Expert assistance in moving seniors from family homes to assisted living, independent living, or memory care.
• Probate & Estate Management: Specialized support for families handling estate transitions, ensuring a smooth legal and financial process.
• Home Sales & Real Estate Solutions: Professional real estate services designed to maximize value and minimize stress for aging homeowners and their families.
• Financial & Legal Navigation: Coordination with estate planners, elder care advisors, and financial specialists to protect assets and plan for long-term care.

The Reality: Families Face Tough Decisions with Limited Time

Most families are unprepared for the financial and logistical complexities of senior care. Many mistakenly assume Medicare covers long-term care—it does not.

The financial burden is significant:

• In-home care: $5,000–$10,000/month
• Assisted living: $4,000–$7,000/month
• Memory care: $5,000–$10,000/month
• Skilled nursing: $8,000–$15,000/month
• With little time to plan, families often face emotional and financial distress when forced to make immediate decisions. Sound Transition Team provides the strategic planning and expert guidance needed to ease this transition.

What to Do With the Family Home? A Critical Financial Decision

For many seniors, the family home is their most valuable asset. However, families often struggle with when and how to sell it. Options include:

• Selling the home to fund care – Timing is key to maximizing value.
• Keeping the home in the family – Requires a financial strategy for maintenance and taxes.
• Navigating probate or estate planning – Expert guidance ensures a smooth legal process.
• As a Certified Probate Expert (CPE) and Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Ryan Garrison helps families avoid common financial pitfalls and ensures they make informed decisions that protect their loved ones’ legacies.

The Emotional Toll: Avoiding Family Conflict & Guilt

Beyond finances, families often struggle with emotional challenges:

• Siblings arguing over responsibility and care options.
• Feelings of guilt when placing a parent in care.
• Caregiver burnout from trying to manage everything alone.
• By planning before a crisis, families can avoid rushed decisions and unnecessary conflict. Sound Transition Team facilitates open, structured conversations that allow families to make informed, unified choices.

The Call to Action: Families Must Plan Ahead

The key to a smooth transition is preparation. Families are encouraged to take the following steps now:

• Start the conversation early – Discuss care preferences, finances, and legal plans before a crisis.
• Understand financial resources – Medicaid, VA benefits, and long-term care strategies can reduce costs.
• Work with transition specialists – Expert guidance ensures clarity and peace of mind.
• Create a step-by-step plan – A structured approach prevents stress when urgent decisions arise.
