Senior Moves have been a popular topic recently among colleagues, partners and community members, so I wanted to share some tips that can make the process of working with your seniors who are moving much easier for you and them.
Seniors often face unique challenges when it comes to moving. The process can be overwhelming both physically and emotionally, especially after spending decades in their beloved homes.
Some of the common hurdles seniors might encounter:
Overwhelm and Fatigue: The sheer magnitude of sorting through years of belongings can be daunting. Many seniors feel exhausted and unsure where to start.
Lack of Resources: From handyman services to help prepare their house for sale, to solutions for items they no longer need but don’t know how to handle, the list of requirements can be extensive.
Limited Support Network: Often, children live far away or are unable to assist due to their own commitments. Similarly, friends who might want to help are likely facing similar age-related limitations.
Financial Concerns: Seniors often worry about the cost of professional help and don’t fully understand how the process works or the value it brings.
