What is a Senior Move Manager?
Senior Move Management is the profession that assists older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation and/or “aging in place”. Senior Move Management professionals require a profound commitment to connecting with older adults and have a desire for meaningful work that makes a difference in people’s lives. Senior Move Managers have significant expertise and extensive practical knowledge about the costs, quality and availability of various local community resources and their approach saves money, reduces stress and produces quality results.
Senior move managers provide a multifaceted approach to the elder move process, from space planning in the beginning to post-move support and advocacy afterward. These professionals create and execute a seamless action plan customized to the client’s wishes. With the gentle and expert guidance of an experienced senior move manager, older adults and their families can make key decisions without the often attendant emotional and physical distress. This helps avoid costly mistakes and the remorse that sometimes accompanies major lifestyle transitions.
Our senior move specialists are vetted and approved by the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), whose members enjoy access to very helpful senior move management resources to make your or your loved one’s transition significantly easier.
