When you’re moving a loved one into a retirement community or assisted living facility, you have to take extra care to ensure they don’t overextend themselves, they feel comfortable in their new space, and they have the support they need for a successful move. At Little Guys Movers in Fayetteville, we offer senior moving services designed to make moving easier for our older customers and their families. Below you can read about some of what we offer, and feel free to contact us for a free, custom moving quote.
Senior Moving Services
Packing
As anyone who’s moved will know, packing is a massive undertaking. This is even more true when moving from a home you’ve lived in for a long time, as is the case with many people headed to retirement communities and assisted living facilities. Endless packing can be hard on seniors and their families, so getting professional help can make a huge difference. We offer full packing services, including all the needed supplies to keep your loved one’s belongings safe.
Loading and Unloading
This is what we’re known for — the real “moving” part of a move. Loading your stuff into a moving truck and then unloading in your new location takes physical strength, organization, and patience. And it can be extra difficult for seniors with mobility limitations. Using a professional moving company for your loading and unloading process will make the transition into a retirement community or assisted living facility easier on everyone. We do it all day every day, so you can trust our expertise.
Arranging Furniture (aka “In-House Shuffle”)
It’s important to make a retirement or assisted living community feel like a home. Part of that is having furniture and other items arranged well in the room. At Little Guys Movers, we don’t just drop stuff at the door and go. We’ll work with you and your loved ones to ensure they are happy with the placement of furniture pieces and anything else too heavy for them to lift.
Storage Solutions
When moving into retirement and assisted living communities, people often have more stuff than their new space can hold. While it’s obviously a good time to downsize and declutter, sometimes that needs to be dealt with at a later date. Also, many people have furniture pieces and other heirlooms that don’t work in their rooms but they would like to keep. We can help locate storage facilities that meet your needs. We have many storage partners, and some of our locations even have storage on-site. Whatever you need — climate-controlled, nearby, etc. — we can help you find the perfect spot.
