Move Management

Everyone hires a Moving Truck and Movers on moving day but really smart people hire a Move Manager to orchestrate all the details. While anyone can use a Move Manager, we are most often recommended when a Senior is moving to a retirement home or assisted living community. In most cases, seniors are placed on a waiting list for a suite to become available. Timing is always unpredictable and often times seniors must act swiftly to secure their spot, which means moving as soon as possible and selling their home. To downsize on such short notice is difficult and stressful. Our Senior Move Managers can help with some or all of the details whether it be packing, coordinating moving day or getting settled in the new home. We are here to help.

Meet joan

When we got a call from our one of our local retirement homes is was about our lovely client, Joan. Her story wasn't unlike a lot of seniors on waiting lists for a suite to become available. Her suite was ready, but she wasn't and to make matters more difficult her daughter was away on a month long honeymoon and couldn't be there! We sprang into action. We obtained layouts of her new suite, measured Joan's furniture and helped her decide which furniture would fit in her new place. We quickly arranged movers, packed what she needed & got her settled into her new home. An insurmountable situation became a day of celebration for this wonderful client. Her story was changed.
