Senior Moving Services in Richmond
Heroes Moving & Storage offers senior moving services throughout Richmond, VA, and beyond. If you are a senior and about to relocate, you might need to downsize.
Reasons for moving and downsizing include:
- Your current house has unused bedrooms.
- Your current location does not have easy accessibility to restaurants and grocery stores.
- Your household chores, such as yard work, are getting harder.
- The upkeep of your home’s interior has become more difficult.
If your situation matches any of the above scenarios, consider relocating to a smaller home or even an assisted living facility in the Richmond area. Once you have made arrangements to downsize and relocate, contact Heroes Moving & Storage. We can discuss your needs and provide you with a free virtual estimate.
We have extensive experience assisting the elderly with our senior moving services. Our experience lets us help you with your moving-related tasks while staying within your budget.
Moving to an Assisted Living Facility
Assisted living facilities are great for seniors who want their own space but don’t want to give up their independence. There are many levels of assisted living available. These choices make it easier for you to find a location in Virginia to relocate to and allow you to select the independence level you want to keep.
Seniors moving to assisted living facilities must follow the regulations of the property regarding what they can and cannot bring. Typically, these very specific instructions contain only a very small portion of what you own. Downsizing and decluttering can cause grief for some seniors, while it can be overwhelming for others.
At Heroes Moving & Storage, we train our employees to work with many age groups, including seniors. We offer various professional packing services and other senior moving options to help ensure your move is as pleasant and stress-free as possible.
Emergency Admission to a Rehabilitation or Nursing Facility
Are you now facing an emergency transition of parents, grandparents, or any senior relative into an assisted living or full-care facility? Our senior moving services are here to help. Any sudden illness or injury of a loved one can create a busy and often unpredictable situation.
We can send a friendly team of experienced movers who will work quickly to handle the moving tasks you need to complete. Even if you don’t know how or where to begin, there is no need to panic. At Heroes Moving & Storage, we are happy to consult and advise which tasks should come first.
Tips to Ease the Transition to a Smaller Home
If you are looking for suggestions to help loved ones keep memories of special or treasured items, we have senior moving advice we would like to share:
- Spend the day with your loved one at their current residence. Let them tell stories about events they recall from their past and items they have kept. Listening to another’s story can make one feel valued, respected, and heard. It can also help you live vicariously through them while you learn about your family’s history. Spending time recollecting can benefit the person who is moving. Part of this happens when they realize their memories will remain alive once they share them with their family.
- Help your loved one choose a few precious pieces to keep, and take pictures of the rest of the collection. Print and frame a large poster, or have specialty print items made, such as blankets to hang on the wall or pillows to use on a couch. Each option offers a wonderful way to view the collectibles without using too much space.
- Instead of packing bulky framed photos, place the pictures from the frames in a memory album. Rearranging photo storage will help reduce the number of large, heavy boxes. Getting rid of possessions during a move can be difficult for seniors. Creating an album is a beautiful way to reflect on cheerful memories without completely letting go.
Our Richmond, VA, movers have a place to store treasured souvenirs and other memorabilia that you or your family might not have room for. Ask about our warehouse storage option. At our storage facility, we can accommodate storing these items until it’s time to relocate them appropriately.
Packing and Unpacking Services
If you are looking for professional packing services, we can pack a few items or everything – it’s your choice. If you try to do it yourself, it might take a week or more to pack a few rooms, leaving your current home in disarray.
Additionally, we can unpack your boxes and offer you our White Glove Service, which includes unpacking and putting everything away. Rest assured, our professional packing service is convenient, speedy, and reliable. We can pack up an entire house in just a few hours.
With just some basic information, we can provide you with a free, virtual moving estimate over the phone, by text, or by email. In some circumstances, an in-person review can give a more accurate estimate. If you are looking at senior moving services, our expert estimators will look at all the rooms and items that need moving to give you a more detailed estimate.
