What is a Senior Move Manager?

A Senior Move Manager is a relocation specialist trained to help older adults and their families with every step of the moving and downsizing process. These professionals coordinate, manage, and physically execute all tasks required to transition a senior into a new home—whether that’s assisted living, memory care, a retirement community, or a right-sized home.

Senior Move Managers provide services that go far beyond traditional movers. They understand the emotional and physical challenges that come with aging, mobility changes, or cognitive decline, and they create a relocation plan that protects the senior’s comfort, dignity, and safety.

1. Downsizing & Sorting

• Organizing belongings in a gentle, supportive way

• Managing sentimental items with respect

2. Floor Planning & New Home Setup
