Caring Transitions helps to move San Antonio seniors, families According to Bobby Wilkinson, the owner of Car- ing Transitions of San Antonio Central, the number of people turning 60 is increasing every year. “More and more people are turning older than 60 this year,” Wilkinson said. “So we’re seeing more of a need now than ever before.” Learn more That’s where Wilkinson said Caring Transitions comes into play—a service that helps families throughout San Antonio transition older loved ones into new living spaces. “When you have a family member that is not able to take care of themselves, the focus should be on them, not other things,” Wilkinson said. When families are faced with having to move loved ones into new, di erent spaces, Wilkinson said the transition can often be overly complex and stressful. “It shouldn’t be about what to do with all the stu you have, it should be about the family members themselves,” he said. What are the options? The process begins with a consultation with
family members to discuss the logistics of the moving process. “We come in and take care of some of the stress of the situation,” Wilkinson said. Whether it’s from a single-family home to an independent living facility, Wilkinson said any situation can be covered. Workers help with sorting belongings, packing, decluttering, and more. There’s also estate management services available, like estate sale planning and auctions, according to Caring Transitions’ website. Along with traditional moving services, Wilkin- son said he can also help families search for new communities for seniors to live in. “We want to help folks downsize and liquidize their assets in the process,” Wilkinson said. Why it matters Founded over 20 years ago, Wilkinson said Caring Transitions has expanded to over 400 locations across the United States, including three other branches in San Antonio—North, Northwest and Helotes. There’s also a branch serving residents in Bulverde and Canyon Lake. “I am so excited to see the future of Caring Transitions in San Antonio and beyond,” Wilkin- son said.
Caring Transitions has grown to over 400 locally-owned branches across the United States, with four total franchises serving San Antonio.
