Whether moving to a smaller home, retirement community, or assisted living facility, the process involves complex decisions and logistics. This is where senior move managers come in – professionals experienced in helping older adults and their families through every step of this significant life transition.

 

What is a Senior Move Manager?

 

Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the physical and emotional aspects of relocation and downsizing. These certified experts, often members of the National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers (NASMM), combine project management expertise with an understanding of the unique needs and concerns of seniors facing a major life transition.

 

Who is A Bridge Forward?

 

A Bridge Forward is a Milwaukee based senior and specialty move management company, owned, managed and staffed by women. The company is bonded, insured and a member of NASMM. Many of the greater Milwaukee area senior communities refer incoming residents to A Bridge Forward when they know they need some extra help with their move.

 

Comprehensive Planning and Organization

 

One of the primary benefits of working with a senior move manager is their ability to create and execute a comprehensive moving plan. A Bridge Forward begins by assessing the current living space and the new residence, helping clients understand what will fit in their new home and developing a realistic timeline for the move. This systematic approach reduces stress and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

 

The Bridge Forward team creates detailed floor plans of the new space, allowing seniors to visualize how their belongings will fit and making the transition feel more concrete and manageable. They also will coordinate with real estate agents, movers, and other service providers, serving as a central point of contact throughout the process.

 

A Bridge Forward assists its clients in many other ways including:

 

1.     Expert Downsizing Assistance

 

2.     Professional Packing and Unpacking Services

 

3.     Setting Up the New Home

 

4.     Cost-Effective Project Management

 

Finally

 

The decision to downsize and relocate is significant, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. A Bridge Forward provides invaluable expertise, support, and services that make the transition smoother and more manageable for everyone involved. Our professional approach to planning, organizing, and executing the move allows seniors and their families to focus on the emotional aspects of this life change while ensuring that all practical matters are handled efficiently and compassionately.

 

For seniors contemplating a move or their family members helping with the transition, engaging a senior move manager such as A Bridge Forward can be the key to transforming a potentially stressful situation into a well-organized, positive experience that sets the stage for the next chapter of life.
