A senior move can be stressful: those affected must part with memories, rely on outside help, and reorient themselves. But with a professional partner by your side and timely planning, all this can be handled more easily.
What generally needs to be considered during a senior move?
With an upcoming senior move, you have many decisions to make, and a senior move is not like any other private move. Where should the move go? Would you like to
- swap your house with its stairs and many rooms for a barrier-free apartment

- after the death of your partner, look for a senior shared apartment as an alternative to assisted living?
- Do you need a clear-out, because you will no longer need many furnishings after the move?
- Must the move be coordinated with a bulky waste disposal coordinated?
