"Our homeowners are always asking: Should I stay or should I go? This book helps you answer that question—and then guides you step by step to make the best move. Everything starts at home, as we like to say. Home is where every chapter of your life begins. With Wise Moves, you can make it safe, secure, and truly yours."
—Drew and Jonathan Scott, HGTV's Property Brothers, Editorial Directors of Reveal magazine

Are you thinking about a move? Wise Moves is a practical, easy-to-follow guide to help you make the right choice at any stage of life. Should you stay in your current home? Could a few thoughtful renovations transform it into the home of a lifetime? Or is it time to move—whether to a new city, a different type of housing, or even abroad? And how do you handle the financial side of it all?

This book covers key decisions and options, including:

• Adapting your current home to fit your changing needs

• Downsizing to apartments, condos, or co-ops

• Choosing independent living or active adult communities

• Finding quality assisted living or memory care

• Securing the best nursing care

• Buying second homes or considering timeshares

• Relocating abroad

Written by experienced professionals with both personal and field expertise, each chapter provides clear guidance, practical tips, and checklists to help you evaluate your next steps with confidence.

"Everyone I know is talking about downsizing or where to move next, yet there are so many factors to weigh for the rest of your life. This comprehensive book covers everything—from aging in place to assisted living, financing, and decision-making—with practical checklists I’ve been waiting for someone to write."
—Lee Woodruff, Journalist, Bestselling Author, Cofounder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation

"Cut the medical jargon, cut the legalese, cut the stereotypes—and give us a clear map and compass. That’s exactly what Wise Moves delivers. Hurme and Frolik know their stuff and provide smart tools for choosing or creating the right environment for your own or a loved one’s later years."
—Charlie Sabatino, Director, ABA Commission on Law and Aging

"A practical, invaluable resource for older Americans considering a move or exploring their housing options."
—David English, Former Chair, ABA Commission on Law and Aging

"Waiting until you’re 'ready' to move often leads to rushed decisions in times of crisis. Wise Moves gives you the tools to proactively assess what matters most and plan for a future that supports your well-being."
