There are many benefits to hiring a Specialty Move Coordinator and we have highlighted the main reasons below.
1. Avoid Senior Move Scammers – Moves for Seniors (MFS) is a company that is focused on providing seniors with top quality moving specialists to help make your parent’s move as easy and stress-free as possible. MFS requires all of their Specialty Move Managers to provide references, take classes in ethics and safety and must have general liability insurance. Most importantly, a contract between the Specialty Move Manager and the older adult is put into place to prevent any type of conflict.
2. Compassionate When “Right-Sizing” – Move Coordinators are experts in their field and have empathy for seniors and their beloved homes and possessions. Specialty Move Coordinators acknowledge the memories that have been created in your parent’s home and take the time to empathize with their feelings while right sizing. Right sizing is a gradual process that Move Coordinators take pride in.
3. Senior Feels Empowered – In hiring a Move Coordinator, parent’s may feel empowered and in control of their move. After all, this is their home and the goal of a Move Coordinator is that your parent’s have a say in what happens in the right sizing process. Your parents will have chance to choose where their belongings will go and where they will move rather than feeling as though they are being ‘placed’ in a home.
4. Move Coordinators Pay Attention to Detail –Move Coordinators provide assistance to over 100,000 seniors a year. They know the steps it takes to right size your parents and have in depth knowledge on the right questions (FAQ) to ask and how to answer them. They are the experts at right sizing your parent’s home the right way.
5. Solve Uncommon Problems – There are many details to take care of when moving as a senior; for those ‘uncommon’ and rare instances that need immediate attention, Move Coordinators step in and get the job done. For example, if your parent’s have a collection of 100+ tea cups and you don’t have room for them all, the Move Coordinator will organize the tea cups and make sure the unwanted cups are donated to a local good will or another charity of choice. If your parent’s do not wish to keep the tea cups, but cherish the many memories created while using the cups, the Move Coordinator will to create a photo of all of the others to hang in their new home.
