Moving Seniors to a New Home Safely and Successfully

Aging in place is the dream of every mature adult. Spending their golden years at the home they have grown fond of, surrounded by their favorite furniture and memorable keepsakes. Still, a time may come when they have to give up their residence and move to a smaller, more affordable place, possibly with one floor to avoid the increasing challenge of a staircase. It may even be that they need to change place in favor of a nursing home or assisted living. In any case, going through such a transition is a heavy burden for both the elderly and the family and friends volunteering to help. Some say it’s just as stressful as getting married or having children. The process, therefore, must be handled with utmost care and consideration.

Facing troubles with packing and sorting or the senior relative is just too stubborn? The answer here is simple: hire a senior move manager. The National Association of Senior Move Managers offers experts all across the country who help families organize key tasks to make the transition as painless as possible. They have experience with downsizing valuables, creating floor plans for the new home, and are also willing to screen moving companies and organize auctions if necessary. However, senior move managers do more than just barking instructions, if the situation calls for it they even provide emotional support for the elderly person, helping them come into terms with the sensitive situation.
