client testimonials

Practical Solutions helped me with my complete move, including careful packing, monitoring the moving company, unpacking and organizing my new place. I couldn't have made this transition without their help. - Areli L.

The consultants at Practical Solutions helped my wife and I make a move that seemed impossible before they arrived. They helped us choose what to take, packed our belongings, supervised the movers, and unpacked and organized our new home. By the time the movers finished, we were unpacked and settled into our new home. They even recommended an estate sale company to help us make some money on the possessions we didn't need. We couldn't have done it without them and are forever grateful.
-Bob L.


After having surgery I came back to a home that was not safe for me. Because of my health, I had not been able to properly keep my home uncluttered and clean. They gently helped me go through my things and organize my home so that now I can get around my home safely. -Ellen M.

 about me
 

Cathy Bates started Practical Solutions in 2003 out of a desire to help people get and stay organized. She and her highly qualified staff love helping seniors transition to a more simple home where they can concentrate on enjoying life without being consumed with the duties involved with caring for a large home. They help seniors choose the items in the home that they value most to take to the new location and set up a home where they are surrounded by the things they love and enjoy. We help the transition go as smoothly as possible and treat our clients like they are family.
