As more baby boomers reach the age of retirement, companies in the moving industry have found the need to create a new type of service; they’ve designed special programs to help seniors get through the stressful task of relocating. Finally, you can count on a service that’s dedicated to helping the elderly move from one home to another.

Note that in the United States alone, there are more than 38 million people who are over the age of 65. With this in mind, a great deal of already established firms began offering such services. But these are not ordinary movers. They do more than just pick up the boxes and transport them to a new location. They take care of even the smallest details; and they do it with a smile.

Once you hire a specialty mover, their professional staff begins by helping you figure out what items to take; they even assist you in contacting an estate seller in the event you want to auction a few valuables. They pack and accommodate all the cartons onto the truck and unload them at the place of destination. Once there, they unpack and set everything in the right place; from the furniture to the appliances. And if you need the computer installed, they will make sure a trained technician takes care of such matters.

In the meantime, if you need to pick up your medical records or prescriptions, someone from the company will run these errands for you.

Their prices are very reasonable, especially for all the tasks they perform. Keep in mind they’re not the average moving company, but a well-rounded assistance provider that will make your move hassle free.

For your information, the prices vary depending on the move. The most expensive is for relocation from one house to another of comparable size. You’ll pay less if you’re going from an average size apartment to an assisted living facility, or if simply packing to move in with relatives.

Helping someone who’s in their late 60’s, 70s, 80s or 90s is what these companies do best. They offer a well-trained, friendly and honest staff that’s been thoroughly checked out and cleared to deal with very delicate matters.

So if you once worried there would be nobody to help you out in the event of having to move, you can now relax.
