FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1) What do I do with the rest of my belongings?

This is a very troubling issue for many clients. The first step is to inventory your belongings, and determine, which, if any, you want to give or offer to your family members. Thereafter, items of considerable worth are best to be sold or placed on consignment. Less expensive items can be donated to charity, yielding a tax deduction. There are always items that simply need to be discarded. From experience, Assisted Moving can make this process, which seems daunting at first, a piece of cake.

2) Does the ALF know about Assisted Moving?

Absolutely! In fact, nearly all of our business arises from relationships Assisted Moving has built with ALFs. ALFs are well suited for taking over the needs of seniors once they have moved in, but they are not generally equipped in making the transition from fully independent living. They are generally very eager to refer potential residents to our services, because doing so makes it more likely you will choose their ALF. In fact, some ALFs are even willing to cost share our services, because they like having an assistant in the transition process.

It varies, depending on the unit into which you will be moving. Assisted Moving will photograph and measure your belongings, get the floor plan from the ALF, and create a Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD) that shows the precise placement of each of your belongings.

4) What if my family can help me...why would I use Assisted Moving?

5) What do I do on moving day?

Well, that's up to you. We recommend that you let us pack you a light suitcase, and move over to a luxurious and yet convenient hotel for a day or two. Or, travel and spend some quality time with loved ones. Then, after your unit is completely ready to move in, show up and enjoy!

10) How much does it cost?
