When deciding to move, simplify surroundings, or transition to a new quality of life, Senior Move Management professionals assist older adults and their families by partnering to create a personalized overall transition and implementation plan. Many people find the physical and emotional tasks associated with a move overwhelming. These changes, especially organizing and downsizing the number of items accumulated over years, can be particularly difficult for Seniors who have lived in their same home for 30, 40, or 50 years.
When hiring a Senior Move Manager, clients and their families reduce stress and relax during the move or transition while leaving the details and hard work to an expert!
Oftentimes families are willing to help, but they have limited time due to work schedules, minimal vacation time, being geographically dispersed, and/or obligations at their home. These factors delay the downsizing tasks and ultimately increase the costs associated with the transition. Senior Move Management Professionals help facilitate the transition for everyone involved using their extensive knowledge of resources to reduce the length of time and profitably disposition unwanted items, saving clients time and money overall.
Services provided vary by company, but most Senior Move Managers can help with planning for a part or full solution to the following:
Developing an overall move or downsizing plan
Organizing, sorting, packing, moving, unpacking, and setting up a new home
Customized floor plans
Arranging for the most profitable overall solution to the disposition of unwanted items through auctions, donations, clean outs, or a combination of solutions
Arranging shipments to family and/or storage
Related additional services, such as hiring a handyman, cleaning, and preparing the home to be sold or rented.
Most Senior Move Managers offer a free consultation. The goal is to partner with clients on creating a personalized plan showing how their move can be simplified. Clients can then sit back, relax, enjoy, and leave the details to a professional for the best move ever!

A nutritious breakfast is beneficial not just for seniors but for anyone at any age. Our bodies need more energy and essential nutrients to stay healthy and strong as we age. Starting the day with a balanced meal can help improve mood, boost stamina, and enhance cognitive function. Senior Helpers shares a few easy and healthy breakfast ideas tailored for seniors and offers tips on making breakfast an enjoyable social activity.Nutrient-Rich Breakfast OptionsSeniors often need to pay closer attention to what they consume. Nutritious breakfast options that are easy to prepare and full of all the healthful vitamins and minerals seniors need are a good place to start. Here are some suggestions:Whole GrainsWhole grains are a great source of fiber and essential vitamins. They help maintain healthy digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels. Try oatmeal with bananas or a slice of whole-grain toast with peanut butter. These breakfasts are simple to put together and offer a warm, satisfying start to the day.Protein-Rich Breakfast Protein is vital for maintaining muscle mass, which tends to decrease as we age. A protein-rich breakfast can help seniors stay strong and energized. Simple options include a hard-boiled egg, a yogurt parfait with nuts and berries, or a delicious omelet filled with your favorite vegetables.Fruits and VegetablesFruits and vegetables contain beneficial vitamins and minerals. For breakfast, consider making a smoothie with spinach, apple, and a small scoop of protein powder, or topping a slice of whole-grain toast with avocado and tomato. These are refreshing ways to get a natural nutrient boost.Addressing Common Dietary NeedsDietary requirements often change as we get older. Here are some breakfast ideas that cater to these needs:Reduced Sodium Reducing sodium intake is often necessary to help maintain healthy blood pressure.
