Providing packing services for older adults does not make a mover a senior move manager (SMM). The SMM’s expertise is in working hand-in-hand (literally!) with seniors, a dedicated staff, a focus on the client and not their belongings, responsiveness to the priorities of referring sources, and communication with multiple constituencies (adult children/grandchildren/senior living staff, etc).

Remember, that many times, when an older adult is downsizing, the move is the smallest part of the process. SMMs work to sort and downsize their client before the actually packing and moving begins. And SMM’s will completely resettle the client, meaning all boxes are unpacked, curtains and pictures hung, beds made etc. The client’s new home is completely set up before the client arrives to the new residence.

Movers, on the other hand, work in conjunction with Senior Move Managers to transport the client’s belongings from the old residence to the new residence.

We take extreme caution to ensure circulation paths are clear in order to prevent slips and falls. We are also sensitive to the needs of our clients who may be hard of hearing, suffer from physical disabilities or experience short-term memory loss. We understand that moving can be a chaotic process, so we do our best to simplify and streamline so everything is kept in order.
