Senior MOve Manager
Based in the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley, Ashe Organizing Solutions has been successfully serving clients seeking to age safely in place, downsize and prepare their homes for sale for more than 14 years. Following her own experience cleaning out her grandparents’ home years ago, Founder Colleen Ashe grew passionate about helping seniors and their families facing similar situations. In the years since, she has helped countless clients, leaving an indelible impact on them and their loved ones.
Understanding that everyone’s situation is unique, Colleen employs a gentle, yet firm approach and thoughtfully tailors plans for each client to align with their specific goals. She recognizes how difficult it can be for seniors to shift from a well-loved, memory-filled home into a safer, more comfortable place, and loves to hear their stories, reminisce about past adventures and share the joys, and sometimes tears, that come with emptying a home that has been lived in for decades.
In addition to the emotional overwhelm decluttering can evoke, many people wonder where to begin, or they may feel unequipped for the process based on their schedules or physical ability. Ashe Organizing Solutions breaks down these barriers for seniors and their families by providing compassionate, methodical and personalized support with managing belongings. Colleen’s detailed ASHE system all but guarantees a successful, low-stress experience for any home transition or organizing challenge.
