You may know, or at least suspect, that you will need help relocating a senior. Whether the senior is moving into an apartment, with a relative, to a senior living center or a nursing home you will want help from a professional senior mover. Here are five reasons to confirm that for you.
• Guidance:
An experienced senior mover will be able to help guide you and the senior as to what items will fit in their new living situation and what will not fit. In most cases the senior will own more items than they will be able to take with them. It can be hard to determine what is a reasonable amount to fit but a professional mover will have experience in this and will be able to provide guidance.
• Professional Packing and Moving:
You will want the items that are going to be moved to be handled correctly. The things that have been selected to move to the new location will be items of value to the senior. You will want to have them professionally packed and moved to ensure they arrive in the same condition they were in before packing.
• Move Items to Multiple Locations:
Since not everything will be able to be moved to the new living location it will likely be necessary to ship items to multiple locations. Some items may end up going to storage but you may find that some furniture and art should be shipped to children and grandchildren in other places. A professional senior mover can help provide shipping to relatives all over the U.S. and even in international locations. There are a few options here. A white glove mover may be called for. As an alternative, you may consider freighting your senior’s furniture to an out of town location.
• Ease the Transition:
A professional senior mover will be able to ease the transition. This will likely be a stressful time for your family and specifically the loved one being relocated. A senior mover will know how to handle the situation with compassion and patience.
• Facilitate the Process:
Families can have conflicts when trying to determine what to move and how to move it. With a professional senior mover helping they can aid in facilitating the process. The professional mover won't make the decisions but can help guide the family to make the process stress free. The transition will be easier than if you attempted to do it on your own.
