It's always a stressful and often difficult time to pack up your home and move to a new one. It can be even harder for seniors who may not have the energy or the ability to pack their belongings and transport them to a new home. Friends and family can help with the move, but it's often better to hire full-service senior movers to help a loved one as they are experienced.
Here are just some of the benefits of hiring a full-service senior moving company to help you or your loved one.
They Have Experience Working With Seniors As Well As Moving
Full-service senior movers have experience with working with seniors, in fact, you will often find many full-service senior movers have worked in a different profession helping seniors. You may find nurses, personal support workers, and even home helpers that have worked with seniors in the past and are now bringing their experience to helping them move to new homes.
Other movers have extensive experience in downsizing and helping to organize their clients' furniture and other items to make them easier to transport. They bring their expertise to helping seniors make the move easier by packing, transporting, and setting up the new home.
It's Over The Course Of Months
Sudden change can be difficult for anyone, but for some seniors having to pack up and move to a new home within days can be very stressful. Instead, full-service senior movers take their time to help seniors organize, declutter, and downsize over the course of several months before their move takes place.
This gives you or a loved one time to know what items they want to take with them and what they are ok leaving behind without feeling rushed into a decision. The packing process can take place during this period too so a senior doesn't get overwhelmed or tired out by hours-long sessions of packing and instead takes place over the course of months or even weeks.
They Are Often More Cost Effective
Full-service senior movers are often more cost-effective than hiring a traditional moving company. They don't overcharge for their services and will work with you or your loved one to negotiate a fair price. They won't offer you services you don't need or want and can often offer discounts or better rates based on when your move will take place, the distance you are moving to, and what additional services you might need.
They can also help you get good rates on appraisals, home inspections, and cleaning services should you need them.
