Knowing where to start when it comes to planning a move can be a challenge.
It can be especially difficult if you’re a senior citizen.
Whether it’s a move to a new home, to a family member’s home or even finding a smaller space for your retirement years, mapping out a move can be daunting for many seniors.
Organizing, packing and moving a lifetime of memories is a tall job at any age, much less being a senior citizen.
Getting started can be half the battle, so here are some quick, simple tips for your upcoming senior move.
-
Don’t Be Afraid To Ask For Help
We’ve been moving families now for over a decade in the Lowcountry – even the youngest and strongest of them ask for help during a move, whether it’s do-it-yourself (DIY) or with professional movers.
Moving an entire home – no matter how small – takes a team effort to do properly.
Reach out and recruit your moving team and get the manpower you need.

Know Your New Space
Understanding your new living space is a vital step in any move, and especially for seniors.
If you’re a senior that’s moving into a smaller living space, understanding how much room you have can help you prioritize what can come with, what needs to be stored elsewhere and what can be discarded during your move.

Ask An Experienced Local Mover
When in doubt, reach out to an experienced local mover for a moving estimate.
Skilled and equipped for any kind of move, they can help plan, direct and execute your move, so you don’t have to.
Moving to a new location in your senior years can mean a new adventure and getting to write the next chapter of your life.
Getting help from a local mover is a great way to make writing that next step in your journey go much more smoothly.
