Downsizing and moving from a family home is a stressful experience.
Whether you or your parents are moving into a retirement home, are moving from a place of retirement into mid- or frail care or you simply need help to declutter or move, Moving Forward has a personalized solution for you. We project manage the downsizing and renovating of homes, and assist in sorting, packing and relocation, specializing in those moving from larger homes into retirement homes or
care facilities. Often conflict arises, where family members are enlisted to assist with downsizing, and other daily obligations prevent family from helping effectively. In many cases family is not located nearby and this provides a further logistical barrier to a smooth transition. Moving Forward is experienced in structuring a hassle free move, with compassion and understanding. We take away uncertainty and frustration by engaging and involving the client in the moving process and constantly managing engagement levels. Our services include:
