About Caring Transitions of Madison
Caring Transitions of Madison is the professional solution for relocation services including downsizing, decluttering, & estate sales for both full and partial liquidations.
Moving is always hard and, whether your situation is planned or
unexpected, Caring Transitions’ services are perfect for seniors moving in with
family, assisted living, or into a more desirable living environment, as well
as busy families and people clearing out the home of a loved one who has
passed. Caring Transitions is America's largest resource for managing senior
relocations, but our services are also great for busy families of all ages.
I’m Don Ashbaugh, the local owner and operator of Caring Transitions of
Madison, and I opened this business because I’m passionate about helping
people. I studied and published articles during my academic career regarding
the use of age in business research and age discrimination. I have also had
successful careers in insurance, appraisal, and photography. All of the steps
in my career involved helping people but I was ready to do something that made
a more immediate tangible impact. I was ready for a career change. I enjoy
working with seniors and their families and, when I found Caring Transitions, I
saw a unique opportunity to bring a much-needed service to this community.
Caring Transitions of Madison has been in business since early 2015 and
we have built customized plans for clients in many different stages of the
process. We are truly a one-stop-shop – we fill in the gaps wherever you need
help and, if you need a service we can’t provide, we have a trusted network of
partners we can call.
My specially-trained team can handle organizing, packing, de-cluttering,
moving, resettling, in-person and online estate sales, liquidations, and
preparing homes for market. All of Caring Transitions’ services are
customizable, so you’ll only pay for the services you need – whether that means
managing the entire move and estate-clearing or just getting someone resettled
into their new place.

Regardless of the situation, planned or unexpected, the loss of a loved one or the need to relocate someone can be challenging.

Caring Transitions of Madison offers a streamlined support system to help facilitate a less stressful transition, taking care of the details so you can take care of yourself or a loved one.
I am a registered WI auctioneer (#2860), a member of the City of Fitchburg Commission on Aging Well, a member of the Board of Directors of the Dane County Area Agency on Aging, and a member of the Dane County Specialized Transportation Commission. These credentials speak to the respect we've gained in our community as well as to the professionalism and commitment to excellence and ethical operation we embrace in this largely unregulated industry.
From sorting through years of memories, working with estate planners, coordinating movers and real estate agents to designing a functional and comfortable floor plan, our compassionate and experienced professionals can be involved as much or as little as you like. We’ll serve as your family’s advocate, ensuring your best interests are kept in mind throughout the process.
