The Leading Moving Services for Seniors in Canton, MI & Surrounding Areas
Leading moving companies understand the unique challenges that come with moving seniors. If you have an elderly loved one who is downsizing to a smaller home or moving into an assisted living facility, the more you plan ahead of time, the less stressful the move will be for everyone.
No matter why your loved one is moving or where they’re moving to, Rose Moving & Storage’s professional movers offers these tips and senior moving services to help make the transition go more smoothly for you and your elderly loved one.
- An Early Start Is Best – The most important thing you can do to make the move easier is to start planning well in advance. This is especially important if your loved one has mobility problems or physical limitations that might tend to slow them down. Our professional moving services recommend you start your planning at least eight weeks before moving day.
- Go Through and Help Declutter – Helping your elderly parents go through their possessions and declutter presents a challenge. While some of their belongings might have monetary value, you will probably find more of them have intrinsic value. It can be hard to convince them to part with many of these items, but by ensuring they keep those they deem “most” important, it can be a little easier for both of you. We recommend they donate the items they are not taking with them to local charities, homeless shelters, churches, and charity stores.
- Room by Room – To make the task of packing and moving a little easier, go through their home packing one room at a time or you can let our professional packers come in and handle everything. This can help keep your loved one from becoming confused or overwhelmed by the move.
- Hire the Right Moving Services – While there are plenty of moving services for you to choose from, you won’t find many that specialize in moving seniors. To ensure a seamless and stress-free move, you need a team of professionals such as those at Rose Moving & Storage. Our teams have the training, skills, and experience needed to handle this type of move. They are compassionate and will work to ensure the move goes quickly while using extra care to ensure nothing is damaged during the move.
- Keep a Positive Attitude – Emotions can run high when moving an elderly loved one. By surrounding them with family members and maintaining a positive attitude throughout the move, you can make the move less stressful, especially if it means they are giving up some of their independence.
