Making Home Moving Less Stressful For Seniors: Tennessee Experts Share Tips
Moving is never easy - but especially for the elderly. Experts weigh in on what makes moving home such a stressful experience for seniors - and how professionals can help.
(firmenpresse) - Home Is Where the Heart IsAsk anyone who’s ever moved if moving is their favorite memory from their entire lives. 99% of respondents assume you’re kidding. Now ask them if they’re looking forward to doing it again. Only 1% say “yes” - and you’re 99% sure they’re kidding!
And the elderly have it even tougher than most when it comes to upcoming moving projects. But why? Middle Tennessee moving industry experts explain what makes relocation such a frustration for seniors.
Parting Is Such Sweet SorrowIn many cases, older citizens have spent decades living in their current homes - the site of so many memories and treasured possessions. It’s demonstrably not the same as moving away from a place you’ve inhabited for several months. With each year that passes, attachment grows - and when the time comes to leave, parting is even harder.
The head says one thing, the heart another. In other words, while seniors know it makes sense that they’re purposely downsizing or moving into a retirement community for their own well-being, their emotions make the process far more stressful. It’s almost enough to make them decide to stay put, after all… even when that’s not an option!
Hating Heavy LiftingAnd moving isn’t just hard emotionally - it’s hard physically!
Think of how much effort it would take to get everything you own up and out en route to a moving truck. Your heavy oak desk needs to be maneuvered downstairs and through several doorways. Your TV has to be wrapped and padded with care… and lifted with even more care. It’s a lot to ask of anyone - and it’s not any easier for seniors.
When they ask you for your help in moving all their belongings, you know that they’re not asking for the fun of it - they really need assistance!
Logistical ComplicationsThen there’s the planning, the scheduling, making sure the timelines line up while ensuring that everything’s packed and prepared before a strict deadline. All this can be overwhelming for seniors, many of whom have spent years collecting various belongings - and are now faced with the task of getting everything organized while the clock ticks toward moving day.
It’s no wonder so many seniors have to choose between asking their friends and family or hiring professional movers. And in the opinions of experts, professionals should win out. Here’s why.
How Can Professional Movers Help?Pros can point to experience in handling senior moves, offering compassion and understanding across each stage. Many will provide a single point of contact in the form of a named Move Manager, whose role is to liaise with families while smoothing out any issues and addressing any concerns in the buildup to moves.
Often, their support includes preliminary advice to help make moving more manageable from the outset. One Tennessee mover, True Friends Moving Company, shared some tips accordingly.
“It’s also important to remember to keep any prescription medications handy and unpacked so that you can access them during the move. Lastly, taking pictures of your original home setup and providing them to your Move Manager is an excellent way to ensure that your new place is set up exactly how you want.”
Elderly individuals and couples will find that most professionals are in a position to help plan, pack, load, and take care of everything that comes with home moving. It’s also worth asking if they’ll provide upfront estimates, with accurate pricing and fixed rates often helping to assuage money-related concerns.
So, if you know any Tennessee seniors who are about to move to a smaller house or assisted living facility, the best way to help is to connect them with locally-based moving professionals who’ve been there, done that as far as senior moving goes. Reputable companies will ensure that elderly customers find a smoother route to their new destination, so they won’t have to worry about the ride.
