Rightsizing at Friendship Village of South Hills: A Smarter Way to Simplify

Letting go of a long-time home can feel like a big decision. But at Friendship Village of South Hills, many residents say it’s the decision that opened the door to something better: less to manage, more to enjoy, and a lifestyle designed for this next, fulfilling stage of life.

Located just outside Pittsburgh, this community offers the perfect blend of serene surroundings and engaging opportunities. Rightsizing is the first step in clearing the path for what’s next—and what’s possible.

What Rightsizing Really Means

Rightsizing is about choosing a living space that reflects your life today—where your time and energy are spent doing what you love, not maintaining what you don’t need. It’s not about giving up. It’s about gaining clarity, freedom, and the opportunity to live with more intention.

When moving into senior living apartments at Friendship Village of South Hills, rightsizing is a smart step toward the lifestyle you’ve earned.

Your Rightsizing Roadmap

  1. Define what you're making space for.
    Whether it’s travel, community, wellness, or peace of mind—let those priorities shape the decisions you make.
  2. Visualize your next space.
    Tour your future residence and note what furnishings and belongings will comfortably fit. This helps make sorting more practical and less emotional.
  3. Curate, don’t clear out.
    Focus on keeping what serves you now: your favorite chair, family heirlooms, or meaningful art. Let go of duplicates, outdated items, or things tied to a lifestyle you’re ready to leave behind.
  4. Tackle it in pieces.
    Work room by room or category by category. Use a sorting system: keep, donate, sell, or gift. And give yourself time—it’s not a race.
  5. Use support systems.
    We can connect you with trusted professionals who specialize in helping older adults transition. They handle logistics, offer guidance, and make the process easier on you and your family.
