Seasonal Household Management

As Midwest temperatures begin their slow drift downward, many of us shift into holiday-prep mode. For many of us, this season brings another layer of responsibility: making sure Mom or Dad’s house is safe, secure, and ready for winter.

For many of us in the “sandwich generation” (raising children while also helping our older parents), fall is a natural time to ensure our parents’ home is safe, accessible, and ready for the wet and chilly weather headed to Central Iowa soon.  With over 75% of seniors wishing to age in place, proactive seasonal maintenance is key to making that goal a reality – and it helps maximize the value of their retirement savings.
