Senior Moving Services: A Stress-Free Transition for Seniors

Reaching retirement is a major life milestone, but often brings changes to our lifestyle as well as our physical and mental well-being. This might lead you or a loved one to think about downsizing, relocating to a senior living community, or moving closer to family. No matter your circumstance, this process requires specialized expertise and care with a senior moving professional.?

What makes Senior Moving Services Different????

As the name suggests, movers that specialize in senior moving provide dedicated care to meet the unique needs for elderly adults unable to complete the move themselves. They go beyond traditional moving services providing things like unpacking and reassembly in the new home. Oftentimes, movers will even coordinate with the senior living communities to help facilitate the move. The entire idea is to create a stress-free moving experience that gives seniors and their loved ones peace of mind during the transition.

Benefits of Senior Movers

As mentioned above, senior moving services go beyond what you would expect for a “regular” move. With these types of moves, it’s common to work with clients who are physically unable to pack and unpack their belongings which calls for a more comprehensive approach to the moving process:?

• Personalized Care: Senior moves have unique requirements which call for an individualized moving plan. This isn’t a one-size-fits all approach. Professionals work closely with their clients or their family to create a customized scope of work to meet their unique needs.?
• Full-Service Packing: Full-service packing in short, means the movers will take care of the entire packing process including supplies and labor. They will even unpack your items at the new place after moving!
• Move Management & Coordination: In unique cases where a client is unable to communicate with their living facility to arrange their move, senior movers will act as the main point of contact, coordinating directly with the living facility.?
• Disassembling & Reassembly: Certain household belongings are difficult to move without risking potential damage. We’re talking muli-sectional couches, bed frames, or tables. Opt for a company who provides disassembly and reassembly.?

Choosing the Right Senior Movers

When looking for senior moving service providers, it’s important to do your research first. Not every moving company specializes or has experience with senior moves. You want a company that has a history of experience moving seniors and has the capabilities to provide the necessary service needed. Here are things to look for:?

• Get Referrals: Reach out to other people online or in your community to get recommendations on which movers they used. For cases where the move is to a senior living community, reach out to the facility to see if they have a preferred mover they would recommend.?
• Look at Online Reviews: Another way to determine the quality of the moving company you’re looking into is through online reviews. Use a variety of different online resources and look through the company's reviews.?
• Downsizing & Junk Removal: Seniors often downsize when moving into smaller spaces, which means they need to part with unwanted belongings. Choose a moving company that offers various solutions for clearing out these items, such as junk removal, donations, or even auctions to help simplify the process.
