Organize Senior Moves

What is a Senior Move Manager?

Senior Move Management is the profession that assists older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation and/or “aging in place.” Organize Senior Moves’ services include layouts, downsizing, decision-making, professional packing, arranging for a professional mover, and complete unpacking and setting up in a new location. The set-up includes making the beds, hanging pictures, setting up all electronics, organizing cabinets and closets, and staging the new home. We strive to meet every need of our clients during this transition period of their life.

Imagine coming into a new home on moving day with your furniture in the perfect place, your clothes are neatly organized in the closets, your phone, TV and computer connected running, your bed made, the kitchen is arranged neatly, and your pictures are hung. Organize Senior Moves puts that special touch on our client’s new home. A client’s move is overseen by the same Project Manager from the beginning to the end of the job. The project manager will be with the client every step of the way. We become an advocate, confidant and friend to each of our clients. Our goal when working with a client is to make their move as stress-free as possible. We work closely with the clients and their families to coordinate each detail of the job.

Franchising With Organize Senior Moves

As a franchise owner, you will enjoy seeing the transformation of your clients who, initially, are overwhelmed by the thought of transitioning from one home to another. During the training period, our franchisees will gain hands-on knowledge and experience, discovering what is necessary to be successful as a senior move manager. You will be a part of the client’s transformation from overwhelmed to overjoyed. Our goal is to help our franchisees not only flourish as their business owner, but that they also enjoy what makes working as a senior move manager so special — their clients! So grab a box, and let’s get packing!

Background

I was born and raised in the Albany, NY area. Family is essential to me; I believe that this makes me who I
am today. I have been working with the senior population for many years. Before Organize Senior Moves, I was the joint owner of a senior companionship service. My clients commend me for my energy and understanding. Through Organize Senior Moves

I can combine my love of design with my enjoyment

of working with older adults; their zeal for life, vast history and compassion have enriched my life in unexpected ways.

Best Skills

Making others feel at ease; compassion, meticulous attention to detail, design, and organizational skills.

When I am not working

I enjoy being surrounded by family and friends. Being a wife as well as a mother of two, I often find myself helping my husband with his work or attending my children’s events. Family is everything to me!
