The Organised Assistant

04/06/2026

I met with My Care Coordinator a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the unique service they offer to individuals and families.

I’ve already identified two clients who could benefit from their services.

One in particular is a client in her late 70’s with a son who lives in residential care. I know she worries deeply about him and still does as much as she can for him with days out and time spent with her at home but she knows one day that will change.

Another client may find this a useful service for their elderly parents as they had plans in their retirement to travel. This may give them peace of mind to continue with their travels knowing support is right there when needed.

Sharing in case any of my followers may find their service of interest.

When the Unexpected Happens 💚

What if something suddenly changed in your family tomorrow?

A fall. A hospital admission. A diagnosis you weren’t prepared for.

In those moments, it can feel like everything lands on your shoulders at once.

Would you know who to call?
What support is available?
Or how to put the right care in place quickly?

These situations are emotionally draining and often come without warning in already busy and stressful times.

That’s when having the right support around you makes all the difference.

My Care Coordinator helps you navigate the unknown, so you’re not left trying to piece everything together in a crisis.

A new client booked in this week for downsizing support. Here’s a little about why he reached out.

I used to be a strong, fit man…

‘Sorry to bother you. I am 77 years old’ was how his messsge began.

He went on to explain that he was looking to move, to downsize but needed help to sort his house as it isn’t market ready. He wants Estate Agents to see it at its best.

I went to meet him for an initial consultation and came away feeling sad. He admitted his home is now affecting his mental health.

He was an airline pilot, a career he loved that took him all over the world until a health issue meant his license was rescinded. He then became a magistrate but has now retired.

He looked sad as he told me his life story.

Divorced later in life, moved from a large family home to his current home but overfilled it with furniture and belongings from the larger home thinking he’d get it all sorted but that didn’t happen.

A decade later, overwhelmed and frustrated about his home and his health, wondering when and where the once strong, fit man had disappeared.

I’m happy we have mapped out a plan, lots of decluttering work initially and identifying some items that have a value that can be sold privately or at auction.

We’ll then look at rightsizing to find this man again, a new home where he can live hopefully in better health with a new zest for life.

I’m looking forward to providing practical, hands on assistance and organising everything to make this move a positive experience.

I wish more people knew about moving and organising services to help overwhelmed later life home movers with the practical and emotional challenges of moving later in life.

I also wish more men would ask for help!

An inspiring little story
for all of us! I definitely need to add a little more exercise into my week!

How incredible is this? 🥰 I got this beautiful and inspiring email from Irvine and Rosie from Co Down, Northern Ireland 💙

“At 94 and 88 years old we do your exercises regularly. They are great and we just want to thank Joe SO much!

We live in Co Down, N Ireland and usually set up the iPad and go through Joe’s exercises three or four times a week (but only one set!). It was during Covid that we discovered these great ideas for keeping fit and we have rated them highly ever since! Normally we do our exercise late afternoon or evening.

We really do feel the benefit after doing them. I notice the blood circulation is buzzing afterwards! Irvine usually checks his heart rate and oxygen on his little monitor and is always impressed with the good result.

We think that we need to keep moving at the grand old age of Irvine’s 94 years and my coming up to 88 years in August. We also have 4 lovely daughters (and 5 grandchildren) with whom we have fun and who spoil us completely!

We also make a point of walking for 10 or 20 minutes each day, and each day I make a big salad for lunch and I call it our repair kit! Please give Joe a big thank you from us! We are so grateful to him!”

An incredible duo sharing some powerful insight around grief.

Tonight at 8pm,
( ) and I are going Live again, and this time it’s something we’ve not spoken about before...

We're talking about a grief that doesn't get recognised as much as the death of our person... anticipatory grief, and we’ll specifically talk about being mums of teens and the anticipatory grief for the empty nest.

For those of us who were bereaved young, our children became our reason to keep going. And speaking personally... I know I became a fierce mummy bear, and my teens and I are incredibly close. And now... that’s all changing as they disappear off to college and uni.

As the kids grow up into amazing young adults, our home team is shifting and changing.

It's beautiful and terrifying in equal measure!

Join us tonight, Sunday 24 May, 8pm UK time.

A great reminder if you’re moving house.

It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed when moving, asking for help with pre-move decluttering and organising could help alleviate the load.

Bank Holiday Decluttering Challenge ….

If you’re moving house anytime soon… this Bank Holiday is the PERFECT time to declutter 😅

Because honestly…

Why pay a removal company to carefully wrap, carry, load, unload and unpack:
❌ cables that belong to absolutely nothing
❌ kids toys they’ve out grown
❌ “good boxes” from 2014
❌ mystery keys
❌ the exercise bike now used exclusively as a clothes horse

Moving house is expensive enough without paying to relocate things you forgot you even owned 📦

Remember:
✔️ Bin it
✔️ Sell it
✔️ Donate it

The less clutter you move, the less stress you’ll have on moving day… and the fewer boxes you’ll be glaring at six months later thinking:
“Why on earth did we bring this?”

Good luck… and may the decluttering odds be ever in your favour!!!

Just sharing as this is an epic challenge for a great cause.

Moving house in hot weather? Please spare a thought for your removal teams!!

Removal crews are lifting, carrying, packing and unloading all day long … often up and down stairs, in lofts and inside very warm houses and trucks. A little consideration can make a HUGE difference.

Things to consider during a summer move:

💧 Offer cold water or soft drinks
🧊 Keep a few chilled bottles handy
🌤️ If possible, keep fans on and windows open
🐶 Keep pets and children safely out of busy walkways
🚗 Try to keep parking access clear to reduce extra carrying in the heat
☕ Tea and biscuits still win… even in the heat
🙏 Most importantly… patience and kindness go a long way

Your removal team is working incredibly hard to help make one of life’s most stressful days run smoothly.

To all the amazing removal companies out there right now during this warm spell … we see you and appreciate you 🥰
