Senior Citizen & Elderly
Moving Specialists

Our Senior Certified crews are made up of experienced professional movers who have expressed a desire to work with older adults. These senior citizen movers then receive individual training in areas unique to seniors, such as:

1. Being Extra Kind. This may seem like a given. However, when helping to sort and pack their things, our Senior Certified crews keep in mind that some seniors may have diminished eyesight or physical limitations and are unable to see and do everything they used to do.

2. We can help sort. Like all of us, seniors tend to keep things they don't necessarily need or will ever use. Our training stresses being gentle when suggesting they get rid of possessions. Our crews are trained to ask if they use a particular item or if they would like to donate it to someone who could get use from it. If it's a treasure or something they'd like to keep but the new space can't accommodate it, we suggest keeping it in the family by giving it to a grandchild or another sibling. It's often easier to give away items if they are going to a good home.

3. We Take Lots Of Pictures. Our Senior Certified crews are equipped with digital cameras. These senior movers take pictures of the inside of our senior customers homes. When we arrive at the customers new home, we try to place all belongings and objects in a similar way so that their new home will feel very much like the old one. Some of our customers even ask us to hang the pictures and place the family pictures on the bureau. This helps make the new place feel like home from day one.

4.Packing Recommendations. We recommend to our senior customers that they start small and that they should pick a room that has less sentimental attachment. They can then start sorting through the bathroom or kitchen drawers; a place in the house that doesn't hold the same emotional attachment as the bedroom or living room or a photo box kept in the attic.

5. We Stress Patience. We know that some seniors need to say goodbye. Sometimes they make take longer to clean out the desk drawer because of a stack of pictures they found. Our Senior Certified crews are trained to let them take the time to remember. We understand that this is a very important part of the process.
