A surprising trend is quietly reshaping the way we think about aging and retirement: more seniors aged 80 and older are choosing to sell their homes, liquidate their belongings, and embark on a new adventure—relocating to Europe. Whether it’s the lure of culture-rich cities, affordable healthcare, or simply a desire for change, seniors are proving it’s never too late to start fresh. At Caring Transitions of Mill Creek, we’re here to support every step of this life-changing move.
A Bold New Chapter
Today’s seniors are healthier, more mobile, and more adventurous than ever before. Instead of settling into traditional retirement communities, many are opting for new experiences overseas—living in walkable cities like Lisbon, Florence, or Barcelona where community, history, and affordable living abound.
This growing movement reflects a larger cultural shift: retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.
The Emotional & Logistical Weight of Letting Go
Moving abroad is exciting, but for seniors, it also means parting with decades of possessions, memories, and routines. That’s where Caring Transitions comes in. We provide compassionate, full-service downsizing and estate liquidation services—helping seniors thoughtfully sort, sell, donate, or ship their belongings so they can focus on what’s ahead.
