Senior Move Managers

Senior move managers help plan for and manage a move, often to a retirement community. Senior move manager services can include downsizing and packing belongings, hiring and supervising movers, and unpacking and setting up the new home. Senior move service prices vary widely—charges may be by the hour (usually $25 to $75, depending on the region) or a flat fee by the job—a full-service senior move can cost as much as several thousand dollars. Senior move managers are best for those with decades' worth of accumulated belongings, whose health is frail, or who don't have adult children nearby.
