Sorry to be so late in responding. I’ve been really busy actually! The idea of asking for outside help with clutter has definitely caught on, and I stayed busy throughout last year. I’ve had a few dips here and there, but all short term.

I think as an additional service for your seniors, you’ll be surprised how well it will do. The big organizing area for the seniors market is in helping them downsize to smaller living quarters. The only issue is whether you are working with seniors with the resources to pay you or not. Medicare hasn’t worked out yet that clearing clutter helps people’s physical and mental health!

My clients have been willing to hire an organizer even in this economy because a cluttered space negatively impacts their life every day and it’s worth it to them to have me help them dig out.

I’d recommend that you search for Professional Organizers in your area via the NAPO web site. You can search by ZIP code and find someone near you who can better advise you on your market area. I’d also look into going to a local meeting – there’s a NAPO chapter in south Florida. Their web site is naposouthflorida.com.

Good luck to you!

Thank you for your time
May God Bless you in each endeavor
