What Is a Home Independence Assessment?
Every person interacts with their home differently. A doorway, bathroom, staircase, or kitchen layout may be perfectly functional for one person but create a barrier for another.
During your assessment, we evaluate how your loved one moves through their home and completes everyday tasks. We identify opportunities to improve safety, comfort, and independence while respecting the life and routines they value.
What Is a Home reset?
Every item in your home carries a story—and sorting through decades of belongings isn't just physical work, it's emotional work. At the same time, clutter and overstuffed storage can quietly become safety hazards: cluttered pathways, overloaded closets, and hard-to-reach shelves all make daily life harder than it needs to be.
During a Home Reset, we sit with you, room by room, and go through belongings at a pace that feels right—not rushed. We help you sort what to keep, what to pass on to family, what to donate, and what's simply ready to go. Then we build storage systems that are easy to see, easy to reach, and easy to maintain, so the home stays comfortable and safe for years to come.
Whether you're beginning the process of senior downsizing, simplifying before a move, or just ready to finally sort through belongings you've been meaning to get to, we bring a patient, experienced hand to decluttering for seniors throughout Athens, Madison County, Jackson County, and Oconee County. Think of it as sorting belongings before downsizing—with a trusted senior move manager guiding the process alongside you, not doing it to you.
This isn't about emptying your home. It's about making room for the life you want to keep living in it.
Meet the CERTIFIED AGING IN PLACE SPECIALIST
CEO | Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist
Hi, I’m Morgan Barnett, founder of Barnett Design Unlimited. I believe great design should do more than look beautiful, it should function beautifully, too.
With a degree in Interior Design and over a decade of experience spanning both design and construction, I bring a unique perspective to every project. I began my career working behind the scenes in commercial construction, learning how to manage projects from the ground up.
In 2018, I launched my own business, initially as Morgan Barnett Interiors, while raising two little boys and remodeling our own home. But my passion truly came into focus in 2020, when I had the opportunity to design a home for Dillon, a young man recovering from a life-altering accident. Seeing how thoughtful, functional design could help someone reclaim their independence changed everything for me.
That project led me to earn my Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designation in 2021. Today, BDU is focused on accessible, inclusive design that supports people through every stage of life.
At home, I’m a proud wife and mom of two busy boys. At work, I’m driven by purpose, helping families create spaces that feel like home and function for real life. Above all, I’m guided by my faith in Jesus Christ, whose grace and direction inspire everything I do at home, in business, and in design.
