Over the holidays, most of us spent time with our loved ones at some point.  And for many of us, that includes at least one older adult.  We visited with my 91 year old grandmother, who happens to still be living independently.  She's quite stubborn, so living independently isn't necessarily our choice - it is one that she is dead-set on maintaining.  Every time we visit, we broach the subject of moving her to a more assisted setting, and into a condo that would be smaller and easier for her to maintain. 

 

Holiday visits can be a great time to evaluate the living situation of an older adult, and a perfect setting to discuss other options while several family members are present.  When the conclusion does lead to a move, Senior Move Managers can be a huge asset to all of the family AND to the person making the move.  Key Associates has had the pleasure of helping many older adults transition from a larger condo or family home into an assisted living facility.  We do so with kindness and compassion, and with extreme efficiency.  We are a member of the NASMM (National Association of Senior Move Managers) and we also have a CRTS (Certified Relocation & Transition Specialist) on staff.  Here is a great article with details on working with a senior move manager.  Click on the image to link to the full article.  If you foresee the need to move an older adult in your life, please consider including a trained professional to assist in the transition.
