Moving

If you have exhausted the possibility of modifying your home to fit your needs, or your old house is just too big to handle any longer, or you just want to move closer to a loved one, or it's time for an Assisted Living lifestyle, "moving" is the answer.

Maybe you need some ideas about which direction to take. After all, moving can be fairly traumatic. The good news is that you don't have to go it alone. There is specialized help out there ~ custom tailored for seniors!

Most companies come to your home, listen to your concerns, make suggestions and give you an assessment.

It is good to interview more than one service. When considering any type of service, it is always advisable to call at least six of their references. Ask for details about the experience each had with the service. If it is all good, continue by saying, "Please tell me of any little problem you may have had with this person." This last question tells the person called that it is okay to talk about any minor problems, which may or may not be minor to you.

It is good to have everything you want in a written quote. If you feel uncomfortable for any reason with a person or company, contact another one.

As always, call the Better Business Bureau to make sure there have been no reported complaints. (This number is located in the Quick Guide of your SRD).
