Mom and Dad are Moving - Who Will Help Them?

Mom and Dad are moving.  With thousands of Americans,  joining the ranks
of  “seniors” every day,  and after years in homes where they have raised
families, paid mortgages and worked until retirement, seniors have begun to
downsize their lives and residences. This trend is due to the development of more
and more senior communities, residences and assisted living facilities being
established around the country. Even large single family homes are becoming
residence’s for several seniors to live in. Most Seniors who are opting for
this new life have concluded,  along with the concerns of their children, that living in an empty nest is no longer practical , feasible or medically prudent.

New businesses have been created with services that inform, support and relocate this growing population.  Since many families have seen a migration of family members away from the nest, it has become increasingly necessary for different size businesses to step in and take the place of the children of families who because of logistics and other obligations can no longer guide or assist their elderly parents into their new life.

Beginning with senior residence locators, people who are familiar with the different communities and residences available for the seniors , to move managers, those persons who have become skilled with assisting in the entire relocating process, the finding,preparation and entire relocation is being made easy. The ideas of this new industry is to see that every aspect of moving is covered and completed from down seizing, to having the new residence completely  ready as a new home when the senior arrives on the day of the move. This extensive service can include, beyond having the furniture in place, having all the drawers and cabinet items put away, pictures and mirrors hung, electronic equipment set up, beds made and cartons and moving debris removed. A Chocolate kiss on the pillow is a nice finishing touch for the people who have been instrumental in shaping the course of their families, communities and this nation.

Many senior communities and residences are aware of move managers and everyone one that is involved in making the transition process as smooth as possible.
