Moving from the family home is a stressful event for everyone involved. The moving details alone
are enough to make your head spin, to say nothing of the emotional toll of leaving a beloved home.
For older adults, this experience can be made worse by changes in health, mobility, or lifestyle,
making a move even more difficult.
Once the decision has been made to move, the list of things to do seems endless—a lifetime of
belongings to sort through, tough decisions about what to take and what to do with what’s left, and
countless errands and phone calls. Then there’s the chaos of moving day and living out of boxes
until everything is unpacked and put away.
Moreover, family members may live out of state or have pressing personal and professional
responsibilities that make it difficult for them to assist you with the details of a move. Even if they
desire to help, it is likely impossible for them to dedicate the necessary time and energy needed to
accomplish this enormous task.
We think you will agree that preparing for a senior move is a major organizational challenge. This
process can leave everyone involved emotionally and physically drained and wishing there were an
alternative. There is ... YourMove Partner!
