Senior Moving Services
A senior move is an adult moving, especially 65 years or older. Moving for seniors can be exhausting and overwhelming, especially if they have spent most of their youthful, energetic years in that home. This whole process can be daunting as it involves a lot of activities that are tiring. That is where we come in as one of the top-rated moving companies offering a team of experienced movers who are caring and patient in dealing with senior moves. To make the process seamless and stress-free, we provide a move coordinator to offer companionship and a listening ear to guide and advise the seniors on the operation of the move and what is needed. This is to minimize the chaos associated with moving. Our move coordinator creates and executes a seamless plan customized to the customer's wishes. As age continues to creep in, most seniors need help handling the hustle and bustle of the moving process. They need a stress-free move without worrying about what or how their belongings will arrive safely at their new care facility or new house. Our movers are well-trained to be compassionate and caring for the seniors' needs and work according to their pace.
Customized Move Plans For Seniors.

As a full-service moving company, we provide our customers with services that others might not, which sets us apart. When it comes to specific move plans, some customers may prefer the idea of having some of their items donated. We commonly work with an organization like Find Retail Edmonton – Edmonton, whose initiative is to end homelessness by taking up donations of things that one may not need; another organization that we also work with is Habitat for humanityHome - Habitat For Humanity Edmonton (hfh.org) that also has the same goals as Find retail. At Last Stop Moving, we go the extra mile to meet your needs. You might be downsizing, or maybe the senior facility you are moving to offers a smaller room that wouldn't accommodate all the items you don't want; no need to worry. Our movers provide junk removal services and will help you dispose of that couch or carpet you no longer need. We also offer full-service packing services, and our movers are precise and skilled in packing antique items that you have collected over the years and hold sentimental value to you. If, by any chance, you feel the need to sell the antique items, our movers will pack them carefully with bubble wrap to avoid any damage for them to be taken to the antique store that you feel will find the following wonderful owner who will hold the same value you had for the cherished items. We are also members and supporters of the organization SAGE SAGE: Home (mysage.ca), whose purpose is to provide a haven for seniors. Our compassionate nature and dedication to providing the best services to our senior customers make us stand out from other senior movers.

Problems that seniors might face during a move

Moving at any given age requires much physical effort; lifting and bending to pack items are inaccessible. This involves a lot of energy to be able to accomplish the task. While many seniors might be in excellent health, the heavy duties that come with moving are not to be done by them,

Here are some of the problems seniors might face during a move;

1. Physical

Aging can come with a decrease in balance, thus the inability to stand for an extended period during the moving process. With this complication, many seniors need help to do the lifting of heavy items.Some seniors might have hearing and vision problems, so the need to send a move coordinator comes in.

2. Technological

Some seniors are not familiar with the new technology, and the idea of sending estimates to their emails or texts to their phones may not work because all they can do is answer phone calls

3. Emotional

The stress that comes from the fear of moving might make the seniors sad or sentimental about the idea of leaving behind what they cherished most and the years of relationships built in their neighborhood, adapting again to a new community might impose a lot of emotional strain on the seniors.
