✨Client Spotlight ✨

Meet Vergie! We helped Vergie through her transition into StoryPoint Romeoville and one of our favorite things is visiting her when we are back at the community.

After Vergie moved in, we helped take care of cleaning out the rest of her property. When we visited her we were able to show her pictures and videos of the finished product since she couldn’t see it in person.

We will always go the extra mile for our clients to make their experience during their transition as comfortable as possible.

Does this sound familiar? When it comes to aging parents, it is hard to know when to pick your margarine tub-shaped battles.

Let us know in the comments what you're currently battling. Or send a picture of the margarine tub collection if you think you have the biggest one 👀

Did you miss our last event about Getting Your Affairs In Order? Come see us at Ciel Senior Living at Plainfield to learn what you need to know about setting yourself and your family up for the future. Not sure where to start? We will give you actionable tips that you can take with you to make the process smoother and make you feel more secure.

We can’t wait to see you there!

If something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know what to do next?

It’s a grim thought, and we all think we have more time, but the reality is no one can predict a tragedy.

Is there someone who would know how to access your phone without a face or fingerprint ID?
Does someone know how many subscriptions you have and bills that are set to auto-pay and how to cancel them?
Do you know the differences between a will and a trust and are you sure you have the right one?
Are you absolutely positive that none of your assets would go into probate, which would cost your family potentially years of time and money going through court?
If any of your family members passed away, would you even know where to find their social security number, passwords, bank account information, pet instructions, or everything else you’d need to know?

We have all heard the horror stories and never think it will be us. Until it is.

If you want to know more and get actionable tips and advice, please come to our presentation. This is not just for seniors, this is for EVERYONE. There is no obligation, it is just informational. If each person in the room learns and implements one new thing, we have done our jobs.

To learn more, RSVP, or have any questions, please text/call Sara at 331-321-1610 or email her at [email protected].

A Clean Start had the best time at The Gardens at Park Pointe in Morris yesterday for their Health and Wellness Fair! They had great music, healthy snacks, wonderful vendors, and great company. We were so glad to be a part of the event and can’t wait for the next one!!

We had a wonderful time getting to work with the residents of Heritage Woods Yorkville on Getting Their Affairs in Order! We talked to them about organizational methods, document and record keeping, professionals to connect with, how to start these conversations with family members, and more!

After what we’ve seen in this business over the last 17 years, we have seen clients and their family members fall into many preventable situations. If we can help just one person learn something they didn’t know and better prepare themself and their family, then we have done our job.

This is not just a conversation for older adults, this is important information for anyone who has ANY assets. It could save you and your family considerable time and money. If you would like to learn more, we have another presentation coming up on Tuesday 8/11 from 1-3pm at StoryPoint Romeoville and would love to see you there!

Our team kicked butt this summer!!!!! This summer has been busy and our team did not disappoint. We knew we needed to show our appreciation for them because we’ve watched them come in with great attitudes every day, ready to work hard, and the positive feedback we get from our clients confirms it. Our company would not be here today without their dedication. Not to mention the extra time and personal touches they include to make sure every transition goes smoothly. We can’t thank them enough for everything they do for ACS!

Working with veterans is so near and dear to our hearts and we are blown away by the generosity of Michelle Kerfin - State Farm Insurance Agent and Edward Kerfin who host a monthly free breakfast for veterans to bring veterans together, spend meaningful quality time with one another, and decrease feelings of loneliness. We have now attended twice and there is NEVER a veteran sitting alone, ever. This morning we took Ray for the first time and he LOVED IT!!!

Thank you for everything you guys do for veterans. It is truly special. If you know any veterans who would like to come PLEASE invite them 🇺🇸❤️
