Heartfelt help for life’s daily details

Agnus is sharp, independent, and manages multiple properties—including the family farm. She brought us in to help keep her affairs in order. We help with the farm accounting, keep detailed records of her charitable donations for tax season, and even design invitations for her seasonal gatherings (she throws a great party!). We have also helped ensure her estate is organized including outlining who in the family is getting what, and making sure everything is documented just the way she wants.

With so many moving parts, Agnus knows she can count on us to keep things running smoothly—so she can focus on living well and giving generously.

Every Monday, Barbara welcomed me with a smile—ready for her manicure and a quick catch-up on the week. After nails, we’d balance her checkbook, place a few orders to ensure she had what she needed and share a laugh over how confusing technology had become.

When Barbara passed away, her family turned to us once more. We helped tie up loose ends—gathering paperwork, documenting passwords, and canceling subscriptions so the family could focus on other things.

Supporting Barbara through life—and her family after—was an honor we’ll never forget.

Ann’s family lives a few hours away, so we stepped in as her local support system—part personal assistant, part trusted friend. We accompany her to doctor’s appointments, handle grocery shopping, and help with bookkeeping to keep her finances on track.

Without a computer, Ann relies on us for many things that could only be done online. And when it comes time to plan her annual themed party? We make sure every detail is just right.

Being Ann’s go-to person means more than managing a to-do list—it means helping her feel confident, connected, and in control.

When a couple needed to downsize and move to a senior living community after 17 years in their beloved home, their son reached out to Kelly Ogden Lifestyle Management for help.

From the first phone call, our team got to work with thoughtful precision—measuring furniture, mapping out a floor plan, and coordinating directly with the movers and the Residence Services Coordinator at the community to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

The son later wrote:

“Please believe me when I say, ‘Moving senior parents from their home of seventeen years is not an endeavor to be undertaken lightly!’ Team Kelly Ogden consistently delivered proper communication, planning, and above all—care. Every step was handled with professionalism, accuracy, and heart. You exceeded our family’s expectations.”

But the story didn’t end there.

After his wife passed, this incredible 98-year-old WWII veteran needed a higher level of daily support than his current residence could provide. Once again, the family called on us. With familiarity, sensitivity, and grace, we helped him transition to another senior community nearby—one better equipped to support his evolving needs, while still honoring his independence and preferences.

It was our privilege to walk alongside this family, not once but twice, during life’s big transitions. For us, every move is more than logistics—it’s legacy, love, and respect made visible.

After living alone in the home she once shared with her husband, Noreen decided it was time for a change. The upkeep of the house had become too much, and she was ready for the simplicity and support of a senior living community.

Her husband had been a lifelong artist, and his work filled their home. As part of her move, we not only helped Noreen sort and organize her belongings, but also carefully packed her husband’s artwork for safekeeping and future handling by an art dealer.

Though her new home offered two bedrooms, the space was small, and Noreen had no intention of sleeping in a traditional bed—she preferred her recliner. With her preferences guiding the plan, we helped design the new layout to function exactly the way she envisioned.

While sorting through the attic in search of more artwork, we uncovered a hidden gem: an antique bed frame she had completely forgotten she owned. She had been planning to purchase a guest bed for her daughter’s visits—but this unexpected find saved her the expense and added a beautiful, meaningful touch to her new home.

For Noreen, this move wasn’t just about letting go—it was about making room for what still mattered. And we were honored to help her every step of the way.

After living for decades in a cozy three-bedroom home—first with her husband, then later with her sister—Betty faced a big transition. When her sister passed away and her son, living out of state, decided she needed more support than part-time care could provide, Betty prepared to move into a senior living community.

Her new space would be just 350 square feet—a single room with a private bath. It was a significant downsize, but we were determined to make it feel like home.

We carefully measured the room and created a detailed floor plan to ensure her most treasured belongings could come with her. Together, we fit a four-poster queen bed, a night table, a table and chairs, a long dresser (which also served as a TV stand), a tall chest, and her favorite recliner. We also hung several pieces of her artwork and arranged personal decor to make the space warm, familiar, and uniquely Betty.

It wasn’t just a move—it was a thoughtful transition into a new chapter, with comfort and dignity leading the way.

Forrest has a deep love for genealogy—but her passion project had taken over her space. Papers, records, and totes of old family photos were stacked everywhere, leaving her with no clear table space to actually work.

We stepped in to help sort through the chaos, organize her research materials, and rethink how her furniture was being used. By rearranging the layout and creating a dedicated workspace, we gave Forrest a functional, inspiring place to trace her family history.

Now, instead of digging through clutter, she’s digging into generations of stories—with room to spread out and stay focused.

We had the honor of supporting a military veteran as she reclaimed her home—and herself—from years of accumulated belongings and emotional weight. Over time, inherited items, unfinished projects, and stored memories had filled her space and quietly stood in the way of the life she wanted to live.

Working side by side, we sorted through decades of belongings and memories, helping her keep what truly mattered and release the rest. The result was more than an organized home—her craft room became a vibrant, purposeful space, and her home now reflects who she is today, not what she’s carried from the past.This transformation wasn’t just about clearing clutter—it was about honoring her story, letting go of guilt, and stepping into a future she’s excited to live.

Hal has been a financial services client of ours for over four years. As his diagnosis progressed, it became clear he could no longer manage his affairs—and with no family able to step in, he turned to us.

In the beginning, we reviewed his accounts and uncovered overlapping services: two health insurance policies, two internet providers, and even a country club membership in a state he no longer lived in.

During a routine review, we also spotted suspicious charges—ultimately revealing caregiver fraud. Because we were monitoring his finances closely, we were able to take quick action and protect him.

Hal may not have had family nearby, but he had us—and we’re honored to be a trusted part of his support system.

For two years after her move into a senior community, Gyunn never quite felt settled. Boxes sat unopened, and her beloved quilting supplies had taken over the kitchen. She creates beautiful quilts for veterans—a true labor of love—but the clutter was stealing her joy and making it hard to maneuver around her apartment.

We stepped in to help unpack, organize her space, and create a dedicated craft area. With everything in its place, Gyunn could finally enjoy her home—and her quilting—again. She told us, “You gave me back my happy.” And that’s exactly why we do what we do.
