Strategic Senior Transitions. Executed with Precision.

We design and manage complex senior relocations with structured oversight so each space is ready from day one.

Our Approach

Nest & Anchor provides structured leadership during complex senior home transitions. We manage relocation, downsizing, and livability planning with precision and oversight from planning through full installation.

We remain the single point of responsibility throughout the engagement. Every vendor, contractor, delivery team, and decision operates under one defined structure.

When required, we coordinate renovation and design modification prior to move in. From bathroom remodel oversight to flooring, lighting, cabinetry, and layout refinement, the environment is fully prepared before installation begins.

Our responsibility is to ensure the transition is executed correctly the first time. We remove the logistical burden so families can remain present and focused.

Every project is guided by comfort, function, and long term livability so the space is fully operational from day one.

We accept a limited number of transition engagements each month to ensure focused oversight and disciplined execution.

  • Nest & Anchor serves aging adults and the families responsible for coordinating major home transitions.

    Our clients are often adult children managing relocation, downsizing, or unit renovations from a distance. Others are seniors preparing for a structured move into assisted living or refining a residence for long term livability.

    In every engagement, we provide defined leadership, strategic coordination, and execution oversight.

  • We approach each transition with defined structure and disciplined coordination. Every layout decision, furnishing selection, and installation detail supports daily function and long term livability.

    Design is not decorative. It is strategic. Each space is evaluated for comfort, safety, circulation, and practical use before final execution.

    Our objective is simple: when the client arrives, the space works.

A Defined Process

Nest & Anchor leads complex senior transitions through a clearly defined planning and execution framework.

Each engagement begins with strategic space planning and asset evaluation. We coordinate movers, trades, furnishings, and installation so the residence is fully prepared before arrival.

Timeline management, vendor oversight, and layout execution are handled under a single point of leadership.

Our clients do not manage the move. We do.

Nest & Anchor provides structured transition leadership for aging adults and their families. We manage downsizing, relocation, and home setup with clarity and intention so each space feels settled, functional, and ready for daily life.

Why Nest & Anchor?

Strategic Oversight

Senior transitions require defined planning and disciplined coordination. We establish the relocation plan, manage vendor sequencing, and oversee execution from beginning to completion.

Every phase is structured before the first box is packed.

Functional Design

Design decisions are made for safety, circulation, comfort, and long term livability. Layout, furnishing selection, and installation are guided by how the space must function, not by trends.

The result is a residence that works immediately.

Single Point of Leadership

We coordinate movers, trades, deliveries, and installation under one defined structure. Families are not responsible for managing vendors or troubleshooting the process.

We are.

Engagement is By Private Strategy Consultation Only

Thoughtful support, clearly explained.

  • Nest & Anchor provides comprehensive leadership for senior home transitions.

    Whether relocating to a new residence or adapting a long loved home for continued living, we direct each phase with structured planning, contractor coordination, and full execution oversight.

    Our work centers on two primary engagements:

    • Concierge Relocation & Installation
    • Aging in Place Planning & Remodel Coordination

    Every engagement is designed to bring clarity, accountability, and completion to a complex season of change.

  • Yes. Nest & Anchor is dedicated exclusively to serving aging adults and the families who support them.

    Whether a client is managing their own transition or is supported by loved ones, our focus remains the same: to provide steady guidance, thoughtful care, and a sense of ease during this stage of life.

    We work with individuals across a range of needs, from active independence to memory care. Our approach prioritizes comfort, dignity, and respect for each person’s story, ensuring every transition is handled with care and intention.

  • The process begins with clarity — understanding timing, level of care, space size, and what belongings meaningfully move forward.

    From there, structured planning is essential.

    Nest & Anchor leads the entire transition. We provide detailed space planning for the new residence, guide keep and release decisions, coordinate movers and vendors, oversee move day, and manage full installation so the new space feels complete from day one.

    If updates are required prior to move in, we also coordinate home preparation and light renovation to ensure safety and comfort.

    Our role is to remove uncertainty and take ownership of the logistics, allowing families to focus on their loved one rather than the details.

  • Yes. But we do not operate as a labor only service.

    We lead the process from strategic sorting and downsizing through coordinated packing, move day oversight, and full installation. Every item is intentionally planned within the new space before the first box is packed.

    On arrival, we manage complete setup. Furnishings are placed, beds are made, artwork is installed, and kitchens are organized so the home feels settled and ready from day one.

    If needed, we also coordinate light renovations or safety updates prior to move in.

    Our role is not simply to move belongings. It is to ensure the transition is structured, intentional, and professionally executed.

  • Nest and Anchor provides concierge transition and home adaptation services throughout Austin and Dallas.

    We focus our work within these two markets to ensure hands on leadership, trusted vendor relationships, and consistent oversight from planning through final installation.

    For select larger engagements, we may accommodate projects outside these areas on a case by case basis. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

  • We support transitions into assisted living, memory care, independent living, and senior communities, as well as downsizing from larger homes or relocating to live closer to family.

    For clients remaining in their current residence, we also provide planning and oversight for aging in place modifications that enhance safety, accessibility, and daily comfort.

    Each engagement is tailored to the individual. Our role is to assess the level of coordination required and lead the process with structure, clarity, and professional oversight from start to finish.

  • Yes. We coordinate with trusted, senior friendly moving companies and oversee logistics to ensure the process runs smoothly. Families do not need to worry about sourcing or managing movers. We handle that as part of the transition.

  • Yes. While many clients choose full transition support, we also offer assistance with specific parts of the process, such as downsizing guidance, move coordination, or home setup.

    We begin by understanding where support is most needed and tailor our involvement accordingly, always with the goal of making the transition easier and less overwhelming.

  • The timeline depends on the size of the space and the level of support needed. In many cases, the initial setup is completed within one to two days following the move, with additional time scheduled if needed for finishing touches or adjustments.

    Our goal is to ensure the home feels comfortable, functional, and ready for daily living as quickly as possible, without rushing what matters.

  • Absolutely. Some clients prefer to be closely involved in planning and decisions, while others appreciate a more turnkey experience.

    We work thoughtfully with both aging adults and their families, adjusting our approach based on comfort level and preference. Your involvement is always welcome and never required.

  • Yes. Furniture and décor purchasing is available as part of our concierge support when it serves the needs of the transition.

    We source items through trusted vendors and designer trade accounts, and we manage ordering, delivery coordination, and in home setup to ensure everything arrives smoothly and is ready for use.

    A standard 20 percent procurement fee applies to cover sourcing, coordination, and handling. This allows clients and families to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared space without the stress of managing purchases and logistics themselves.

  • Our pricing reflects full leadership of the transition process.
    We provide strategic planning, coordination, layout planning, vendor management, and installation oversight as defined in your agreed scope.

    There are no hidden fees.
    Additional services or expanded scope are discussed and approved in advance.

    Scope is defined during your Private Strategy Consultation so expectations are clear from the start.

  • Yes. We have experience supporting transitions into memory care environments and understand the unique considerations involved.

    We focus on creating spaces that feel familiar, calm, and supportive, using clear layouts, meaningful personal items, appropriate lighting, and an approach that prioritizes safety and comfort. We also coordinate closely with facility staff to ensure all guidelines, policies, and safety standards are followed.

  • Yes. Our services can be gifted, often by adult children or family members who want to provide meaningful support during a transition.

    We begin with a consultation to understand the recipient’s needs and preferences, and we coordinate thoughtfully with all involved to ensure the support feels helpful, respectful, and appropriate. Gifted services are structured clearly so expectations, scope, and communication are aligned from the start.

    This kind of gift is often less about a task and more about peace of mind, for both the recipient and their family.

  • The best place to start is with a conversation. We begin with a consultation to understand your situation, timeline, and where support would be most helpful.

    From there, we outline next steps and tailor our involvement based on your needs. Whether you are planning ahead or navigating a transition already in progress, we are here to guide the process with care and clarity.

  • Every engagement begins with a brief introductory call to confirm alignment and timing.

    From there, we offer a Private Strategy Consultation. This is a structured planning session focused on understanding your situation, evaluating relocation or aging in place options, and defining the level of coordination required.

    During the session, we assess logistics, space considerations, timeline, and potential challenges. You leave with clear direction, recommended next steps, and an estimated investment range if we move forward together.

    This is not a sales call. It is a professional strategy session designed to bring clarity to complex decisions.

    Consultation fees may be credited toward future services.

    — Susan T., Daughter & Long-Distance Caregiver

I did not create Nest and Anchor because I had mastered this season. I created it because I am walking it alongside my own family.

Several of our loved ones are navigating transition. Like many families, we are learning how to honor long histories while supporting comfort, dignity, and strength in the present.

I understand the reassurance that comes from knowing someone capable is guiding the process with steadiness and care. Growing older deserves more than safety. It deserves belonging, beauty, and thoughtful support.

Nest and Anchor exists to provide that structure. To bring clarity to complex decisions. To create spaces that feel settled and dignified from day one.

You are still home. You are still deeply valued.
