Welcome to Caring Transitions of Hershey & Lebanon, PA

I’m Joan Bowen, owner of Caring Transitions of Hershey and Lebanon, PA. After spending over 30 years in corporate marketing, traveling the world, and working with diverse cultures, four years ago, I returned to my roots in Lebanon County. I couldn’t be happier to be back home in Pennsylvania, surrounded by the beautiful landscape and tight-knit communities. My personal journey through life’s transitions, including the process of downsizing and relocating after my husband’s passing, inspired me to help others facing similar challenges. I know firsthand how overwhelming these moments can be, and I’m here to offer compassionate, hands-on support.

I’m incredibly fortunate to have my niece, Lydia, my nephew, Zach Eberly, and Zach’s wife, Nicole, on my team. Together, we’ve built a business that’s focused on helping seniors and their families through major life transitions, whether it’s downsizing, decluttering, managing estate sales, or resettling. Having experienced my own transition, I understand the emotional and practical difficulties that come with letting go of cherished belongings and moving into a new phase of life. My team supported me during that time, and now we’re ready to bring that same level of care and understanding to the families in our community.

At Caring Transitions of Hershey and Lebanon, PA, we don’t just handle the logistics of a move—we take pride in making the entire process smoother and less stressful for everyone involved. Our approach focuses on conservation, repurposing, and recycling, helping to pass treasured items to new homes while supporting local sustainability.

My team and I are committed to walking alongside each family we work with, providing personalized solutions that meet their unique needs.
