Senior Citizen Moving
Low Cost Movers has been at the forefront of
providing specialized training to our crews
concerning the unique moving needs of senior
citizens in the Chicago area. Only those crew
members who have received individualized training in
the special moving needs of older adults are
designated as Senior Certified by us. Our Senior
Certified Crews regularly move seniors in and out of
apartments, condominiums, assisted living
facilities, over 55 communities, active retirement
communities, senior citizen homes, independent
living facilities and nursing homes.
Our Senior Certified crews are made up of
experienced professional movers who have expressed a
desire to work with older adults. Our Senior
Certified Crews 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,
older adults tend to keep things they don't
necessarily need or will never 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 frequently 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.
