But arranging the physical move is just part of what we do. Moves for Seniors is a single resource for all of your senior moving needs. We will help design your move and manage any other services you may need, like packing, donating, clearing out, or creating a floor plan for your new home. Our Facilitators will help you with the difficult decisions that surround any move, especially moves made by older adults.

Most likely, the answer is yes. Moves for Seniors provides moving services in every state except Alaska. Our network of licensed and insured vendor partners including local and long-distance movers, labor-only services, removal of unwanted items, and Professional Organizers can be found throughout the country.

It costs you absolutely nothing for a consultation. We will provide pricing so you can decide which services best meet your needs.

The cost of the services will vary depending on your needs. Many people do not realize that moving is regulated at the state and federal levels, so pricing depends on where you are located in the country. We are happy to perform a free consultation to provide an estimate based on your specific needs.

Part of the service we provide is that we collect payment from our customers and then pay any of our vendor partners who perform the physical services. This avoids the confusion of you keeping track of payments to multiple companies.

Facilitators are Professional Organizers who are experts at assisting with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. Many Facilitators have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, and the corporate world of project management. Our Facilitators are carefully vetted and selected. These individuals have a profound commitment to connecting with older adults to perform meaningful work and assist during an important life transition.

A variety of factors combine to make Facilitators a cost-effective, worthwhile, and needed service. The U.S. population is aging. Families today are more geographically dispersed than ever before. Americans have lived in larger homes over the past few decades and now, when it comes time to move, most older adults want less room. They must downsize and oftentimes don’t know where to begin. For these and other reasons, the need for Facilitators continues to grow.

pick and choose what you need. This could include sorting and organizing your belongings to decide what to keep, discard, and donate. Maybe you need someone to manage the process on the day of your move. Or perhaps you simply have items that need to be sent to a loved one. Just give us a call and we will get it there.
