When the Seacrest community decided to renovate 40 of their assisted living apartments, they wanted to make it as easy as possible for their residents. Silver Linings Transitions was hired to work with the clients, pack up their apartments for the renovation and then move each client back in recreating the feeling of home.
The Journey to Silver Linings Transitions
Before founding Silver Linings Transitions, Jami Shapiro spent a decade as a Realtor, guiding clients through buying and selling homes—even during the height of the foreclosure crisis. Yet, something was missing. The work felt transactional, rather than meaningful.
A cancer diagnosis and her grandmother’s sudden passing caused things to change. Her family was left sorting through decades of belongings while grieving—a daunting process that many families face without adequate support. This experience, combined with her professional observations, inspired her to explore a new way to assist people during major life changes.
In 2014, she discovered the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM). It was a revelation. Here was an organization dedicated to providing the very service she felt called to offer—helping seniors and others transition to new homes with care and organization.
More Than Just Moving
At Silver Linings Transitions, we do much more than pack boxes. Our services are designed to provide both practical and emotional support, including:
- Personalized move management to create a smooth, stress-free transition
- Home consultation services with free services provided through a referral program
- Home organizing for those feeling overwhelmed by clutter
- Paperwork organization to simplify financial and legal matters
- Photo organizing to preserve cherished memories
- Senior advisory services to help families navigate aging options
As a Certified Senior Move Manager and Certified Senior Advisor, Jami believes in an educational approach empowering families to make informed decisions. We provide resources, connections, and personalized guidance to ensure our clients feel in control of their next steps.
Recognizing the ADHD Connection
Through years of working with seniors, Jami noticed a common struggle with chronic disorganization. It soon became clear that many of these individuals had undiagnosed ADHD—something she related to personally. Jami and several family members have been recently diagnosed.
ADHD doesn’t disappear with age, yet it remains widely undiagnosed in older generations. This realization led Jami to become a Specialist in ADHD and launch the Grandma Has ADHD podcast and platform to raise awareness about the intersection of aging and neurodiversity. Understanding these unique challenges allows us to implement organizing strategies that truly work for neurodivergent clients.
Empowering Women Through Business
Silver Linings Transitions is about more than serving clients—it’s about creating opportunities. After her 15-year marriage ended, sheI experienced firsthand the struggles women face when re-entering the workforce. That’s why Silver Linings Transitions supports people who are rebuilding their careers, offering meaningful employment in an environment that values flexibility, growth, and community.
As a single mother of three, Jami understands the importance of balancing work and family. Our team is a home for those who need a fresh start, just as we help clients create new beginnings in their own lives.
Guided by Values
Jami’s deep connection to Judaism and involvement with organizations like B’nai B’rith and Hadassah have instilled the values of compassion, leadership, and community service. These principles shape Silver Linings Transitions, ensuring we approach every client with respect, empathy, and a commitment to making life’s changes as smooth as possible.
Making Moves Magical
What sets us apart is our dedication to making every move feel seamless—even joyful. From creating floor plans to unpacking and setting up new homes, we handle the details so our clients can focus on settling into their next chapter with ease.
Sorting through possessions often brings moments of reflection and rediscovery. We create space for those meaningful experiences while keeping the move on track. Our commitment to excellence has earned us five-star ratings across Yelp, Google, and Facebook, as well as A+ Accreditation from NASMM.
Finding Your Silver Lining
Twenty years after my cancer diagnosis, Jami continues to believe in finding silver linings in life’s challenges. Through Silver Linings Transitions, we help others do the same. Whether you’re downsizing after decades in one home, starting fresh after a major life change, or simply feeling overwhelmed by clutter, we’re here to guide you with care and expertise.
