Anyone who has moved knows how stressful it can be. It is particularly challenging for older adults who have to pack up or discard 40 or 50 years of mementos.
So why not use a Senior Move Manager? A Senior Move Manager is a professional who specializes in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation and/or “aging in place.” They move people and their lifetime of memories, not just boxes.
Many times the move is to smaller facilities, and the Senior Move Managers are very insightful, resourceful, and imaginative in the transitioning period. They actually draw a floor plan of the new living quarters so the client and family can see what furniture will fit and where it will go. On the other hand, these professionals also assist the client who wants to stay in his/her home but requires assistance in organizational skills to help them improve their quality of life. Additionally, moves are managed between states by partnering with another move manager in that new state of residence.
Senior Move Managers understand the cost of moving, as well as the availability and quality of local community resources. They assist the older adults to go through their belongings. For those items they do not keep, the manager arranges for consignment, donations or gifts.
Senior Move Manager can be contacted by various sources – older adults, family members, bank & trust officers, realtors, senior living communities, moving companies, attorneys, and geriatric care managers.
