Your Senior Move Manager:

Susan B. Danick R.N., B.S.N.

Moving is stressful for anyone, but older adults may be overwhelmed when leaving a beloved family home, unable to cope with the task of sorting and disposing of decades worth of belongings.

The specialists known as senior move managers help clients sort through their things, get them packed and settled in their new setting. Often, clients are moving from a house to a smaller dwelling in a retirement community, or between levels in a retirement community. Relocation specialists handle the sale, donation or shipping of household items to family members. On moving day, they coordinate and supervise movers, but do not physically moveboxes and furniture. When the client walks in the door, the pictures are hung, the beds are made and the boxes are gone.
