Moving Is a Monumental Task for Many Older Americans. These Organizers Can Help.

Estate planningSpeciality Senior Move Managers offer services many may not be aware of but can be invaluable for aging clientele moving into assisted living. Services include sorting and organizing belongings, coordinating with a moving company, and utilizing floor plans to determine what can be moved to the new residence.

Going through a lifetime of memories and possession can be daunting for clients and their families, and Move Managers step in to better facilitate the process. Many potential clients have balked at the additional expenses associated with the services. However, families who used a Move Manager insist it was worth the money.

Move Managers do not just pack and unpack homes. Instead, they work closely with clients and their families for weeks or even months, are trained and certified, and adhere to a code of ethics to provide services for those needing it most.
