Who qualifies & cost
Who we help, and what it costs
Plain answers, no fine print. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, call us. That’s what we’re here for.
Who we serve
Seniors 55+ in the Treasure Valley
- Age 55 or older (or an adult with a disability or serious health change)
- Living in, or moving within, the Treasure Valley
- Moving from a house, apartment, or senior community
Who comes first
When funds are limited, we give priority to:
- Seniors with low income and little savings
- Veterans and surviving spouses
- Moves to assisted living or memory care
- Urgent moves after a hospital stay
- Seniors with no family nearby
Three ways to pay
The same care at every price
After the free visit, you get a custom quote. Then we work out which of these fits.
Full assistance
$0
For seniors with very limited income and savings. Donors and partners cover the full move.
Shared cost
Sliding scale
You pay a share based on household income. Donors cover the rest. No surprises: it’s all in writing first.
Full quote
Custom quote
For families who can pay. Fair pricing, booked in 4 to 8 hour blocks, and your move helps fund one for a neighbor.
Our promise, honestly
Our aim is that no senior goes without help just because they can’t pay. We’re a young foundation, so assistance depends on the gifts we’ve raised. If we can’t help right away, we’ll say so plainly, hold your place, and point you to other help.
What we’ll ask
- Name, age, and town of the person moving
- Where they’re moving, and when
- For help with cost: household income and savings, and maybe one document, like a benefits letter
- Who else should be in the loop (family, community staff)
What we can’t do (yet)
- Long distance moves out of the Valley (we’ll talk case by case)
- Hazardous materials or biohazard cleanup
- Medical transport
- Estate sales (we’ll refer you to trusted local help)
Questions
About qualifying
Do I have to prove my income?
We keep it simple. At the free visit we’ll ask about household income and savings. For full assistance we may ask to see one document, like a benefits letter or a tax return. We keep it private.
Is there a waitlist?
Sometimes. Assistance depends on the gifts we’ve raised. If we can’t help right away, we’ll tell you plainly, offer a spot on our list, and point you to other help.
Will I be asked to donate?
Never. Families we help are never asked to give. Help is never tied to a donation.
I’m under 55. Can you still help?
Our main focus is seniors 55+. Adults with a disability or a serious health change may also qualify. Call us and we’ll talk it through.
Not sure?
Just call. We’ll figure it out together.
