What is a Senior Move Manager and why are their services needed?
A Senior Move Manager is a professional specializing in assisting senior adults and their families with the moving process. Special consideration is given to help with the emotional AND physical toll that comes with making this change. Social changes have made it increasingly difficult for family members or friends to provide all of the physical and emotional assistance needed for a later life move of a loved one. Many older adults have not moved in many years. They often have grown children living far away who have children themselves and demanding careers. Whatever the situation, they need assistance when it comes time to transition from one living situation to another. With older people making up the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, senior move management has emerged to fill the gaps and make moving easier for everyone involved.

Will you help me determine what I need to do before I move?
Yes. We will help you with all aspects of the move process. The first step is to schedule a free assessment. You can call us at (615) 255-8208 or complete the contact form [insert link]. We will discuss the entire relocation process and design a plan to meet your specific needs.

How far in advance do I need to schedule my move?
As far in advance as possible but generally, if you require pre-move sorting, packing, etc., at least a four week notice, is recommended. If you need only unpacking and home set-up services, two weeks is suggested. We understand that sometimes emergent needs arise. We will work with you to meet your specific needs and timeline.

How will I know if my furniture will fit in my new home?
Through the assessment and plan process, we will work with you to determine what items in your existing residence can be accommodated in the new residence, taking into consideration many factors including but not limited to, your safety in the new residence, sentimental value, condition, etc.

Will you work with the moving company or will I have to be available on moving and packing days?
Yes. Our goal is to remove the stress of moving for you. We will be there to oversee the movers at the existing residence and on move-in day at the new residence.

What is the biggest obstacle to getting organized?
For the elderly, the biggest obstacle is having the physical and emotional stamina to get it done. After living in a residence for a long-period of time, the amount of items in the home can become so vast that just knowing where to start is a task in and of itself.
