When you’ve decided it is time to relocate yourself or a loved one to a senior living community, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the many 55+, continuing care, and fee-for-service options available. And once you have identified where to move, the process of leaving a home of many years can seem overwhelming.
Next Nest Advisors is here to help with every step of the process from finding the perfect senior living community, to preparing your house for sale, to moving you into your new home. We provide as much support as you need; it is entirely up to you. Next Nest Advisors creates an easier transition when you decide it is time to move.
Why hire Next Nest Advisors?
You would like to relocate a relative or friend to the area and you know nothing about what communities are here and how the process works.
You don’t have the time or are not able to review the senior communities that may be best suited for you or your loved one.
You need help understanding the timeline and planning involved in a senior move as well as the resources needed to make it happen.
You would like a second set of eyes to review different communities and contracts, especially since they all pose different medical and financial implications.
You would like someone to approach your situation objectively, helping to navigate through the challenging familial and emotional issues that always arise in this process.
Catherine was a steady voice that helped get our father placed in a proper facility quickly. Her knowledge of the options, process, procedures and requirements was extremely helpful and reassuring during a hectic and difficult time for the family. We look forward to working with Catherine in the future. - Doug B.
Our Services
evaluating Senior Living communities
There are many senior living options, all with varying financial and medical care offerings, and it can be challenging to decipher the choices. After understanding your social, geographic, and economic goals, Next Nest Advisors narrows the list of communities to those that could best meet your interests, needs, and time frame.
We tour and evaluate each facility alongside you to assist in determining the best option for you or your loved one. Once you have decided on your future home, we help complete paperwork and pre-move requirements to ensure an easy transition. The goal of this process is to identify a new home where you will find friends and activities to enjoy for years to come.
planning THE MOVE
Next Nest Advisors develops a detailed plan and timeline for your move, with support every step of the way. We will find the best realtor, help you prepare your house for sale, and determine which items will go with you and which items will be passed along. Next Nest Advisors can provide as much support as you need.
Downsizing and right-sizing
So often family members do not have the ability to receive many of your home furnishings. There are several ways to sell your belongings or pass them along to others from estate sales to furniture consignment to online auctions to donation. Next Nest Advisors helps you determine the optimal way to pass along items to those who will be able to use them before you move to your new home.
Laying out the new home
Once you’ve decided on your next home, Next Nest Advisors determines how to best use the furniture and belongings you would like to take with you to your new space. If your new home involves renovations and choosing finishes for kitchens and baths, we can assist with that too.
Packing/Moving/Unpacking
Next Nest Advisors can coordinate the process of physically moving your home. We find the best moving company and arrange for all of your belongings to be packed, moved, and unpacked in your new home. Next Nest Advisors can assist you with the smallest of details from setting up your bookcases and drawers to hanging pictures on the walls. Our goal is for you to immediately enjoy your new neighborhood without the burdens associated with moving.
Additional Services
After an injury or hospital stay, you or a loved one may need more intensive short-term care. Not all retirement communities are open to those who are not residents, but we can find you the best options to consider given your rehabilitation and timing needs.
Catherine Twitmyer
After helping my in-laws decipher senior living options in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, downsize their home of 40+ years, and move to their new community, I realized that there are many people now facing this phase of life. I discovered that families could use outside support navigating this often-challenging transition and that there are not obvious resources or people to help. Moving to a senior community is a process filled with difficult decisions and deep emotions. I am here to help navigate these issues, providing a positive and pleasant transition experience.

Demystifying Senior Living Options
“HIGH praise for Catherine and her amazingly helpful (and calm-inducing) help! My mom (Pam) has been for some time in over her head attempting to care for her 89-year-old husband (with many physical and medical complications). In one meeting with Catherine (the consummate and patient professional), Pam received a packet of information including charts and other clarifying details demystifying the world of elder care and living arrangements. Pam (and our family) is immensely appreciative for the guidance and support, and left our meeting much more informed and clear as to available options, and more confidence and peace of mind than ever. Thank you, Next Nest! -Carrie”
