Boo!!!!! Did we scare you? Here we are in October. The month of beautiful falling leaves, pumpkins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin seeds (you get the picture) and of course the ghoulishly, scary Halloween! Nothing is scarier than a haunted house in October…Well, maybe a haunted hayride through the woods…Lots of scary things in the month of October!
Do you know what can be more terrifying than a haunted house? Trying to navigate the challenges of supporting our aging loved ones in making life’s important decisions. It can feel overwhelming at times especially when deciding whether to age in the comfort of your own home or move to a senior living community. Here at TASS, we’re committed to helping you support your loved ones in achieving a better quality of life every step of the way. We have a wealth of knowledge and would LOVE to share it with you!!
Please take a look at our website www.tassgroup.org to see if any of our TASS skilled professionals could have the answers you are looking for!
But without further ado, for our October 2025 newsletter, TASS is proud to share our member/business of the month, Ed Whitehouse from Ridgewood Moving Services!!
Ridgewood Moving Services — Helping seniors move with care, respect, and ease.
Since 1966, Ridgewood Moving Services has been a trusted relocation resource for older adults and their families. We understand that moving later in life — whether downsizing, relocating to a 55+ community, or transitioning to assisted living — can be emotional and overwhelming. Our consultants build personalized moving plans, working closely with seniors and loved ones to create calm, predictable, and respectful moves.
Silver-certified senior moving specialists & local partners.
We’re proud to be Silver Certified through Bekins Van Lines and to work with many local 55+ and assisted living communities to ensure smooth transitions. Our experienced, compassionate movers and dedicated office team stay available right up to move day so families feel supported every step of the way.
Practical help, rightsizing support, and senior discounts.
Beyond moving day, we provide rightsizing resources (donation lists, guidance on letting go), storage options, and a personal touch that makes the process easier for seniors and their families. We also offer senior discounts—please call or email for details and availability.
