Relocation FAQ
What is senior move management?
Senior move management is a specialized service that helps older adults and their families with the physical, emotional, and logistical challenges of downsizing or relocating. Unlike a standard moving company, Silver Solutions provides start-to-finish support — from sorting and deciding what to keep, sell, or donate, to packing, coordinating movers, and setting up the new home. The goal is to reduce stress and handle all the details so that you can focus on the emotional needs of your parents.
This holistic approach is designed specifically for seniors and their families—not just the moving truck.
How is your service different from a traditional moving company?
Traditional movers focus on packing, loading, and transporting boxes from one place to another. Silver Solutions goes much further by providing a full-service, senior-focused approach that includes:
- Personalized downsizing support – Helping determine what to keep, donate, or discard.
- Compassionate guidance – Assisting with the emotional decisions that come with parting with personal belongings.
- Hands-on packing, unpacking, and organizing – Ensuring the new home is safe, functional, and comfortable from day one.
- Coordination and planning – Working closely with retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and family members to ensure a smooth transition.
- Additional services – Such as estate cleanouts, hoarding cleanup, home safety modifications, or preparing a home for sale if needed.
How do you help with downsizing and deciding what to keep?
Downsizing can feel overwhelming—especially after decades in the same home. Silver Solutions makes it manageable and respectful by offering:
- Room-by-room guidance to sort belongings into: keep, donate, sell, or discard.
- Realistic planning about what will fit and function in the new home or senior living space.
- Compassionate support when deciding what to do with sentimental items and family heirlooms.
- Donation coordination so useful items are passed on to others rather than thrown away.
- Appraisals and dealer review for valuable belongings the family wants to sell.
Our goal is to help families honor the past while creating a safe, comfortable, and clutter-free future.
Can you help with packing, unpacking, and setting up the new home?
Yes. As a certified Senior Move Manager, Silver Solutions handles the entire move—not just the boxes. We provide full packing, transportation coordination, unpacking, and settle-in services, including:
- Careful packing and labeling of belongings to ensure safe transport.
- Unpacking and organizing items in the new home.
- Furniture placement, kitchen setup, and essential living items ready from day one.
- Optional safety modifications, such as grab bars, lighting, or adaptive equipment.
Our goal is for your loved one to walk into their new home and feel comfortable, safe, and fully settled right away.
How do you handle sentimental items and family heirlooms?
We understand that some items carry memories, not just monetary value. Silver Solutions treats sentimental belongings with care and respect by:
- Working closely with families to decide what should be preserved, shared, or passed down.
- Safely packing and protecting fragile or irreplaceable items during transport.
- Identifying items of emotional, historical, or financial significance so nothing important is overlooked.
- Offering creative solutions such as digital archiving, or shadow boxes for preserving memories.
- Honoring family traditions while helping make realistic decisions during the downsizing process.
Our goal is to protect what matters most—both the memories and the people attached to them.
How long does a typical move take from start to finish?
The timeline varies based on the size of the home and how much work is involved. In general:
- Small apartments or partial downsizes can often be completed in a single day or extended session.
- Full-home downsizing projects—especially those involving decades of belongings, deep decluttering, donations, appraisals, or estate sale coordination—may take several days to a few weeks from start to finish.
- Packing, moving day, and move-in setup are scheduled to reduce stress and ensure a smooth, seamless transition.
As part of our free estimate, Silver Solutions provides a customized timeline so families know exactly what to expect.
Do you coordinate with retirement communities and assisted living facilities?
Yes. Silver Solutions works closely with retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and memory care residences to ensure a smooth and organized transition. This includes:
- Coordinating move-in dates and logistics with facility staff.
- Ensuring belongings meet community guidelines and fit within the new space.
- Setting up the new apartment or suite so it feels comfortable, familiar, and like home from the very first day.
As part of our free estimate, Silver Solutions provides a customized timeline so families know exactly what to expect.
Can you help with moves to another state?
Yes. Silver Solutions manages moves across all 48 contiguous states, coordinating the entire process from start to finish. This includes:
- Downsizing, sorting, and packing at the original home.
- Preparing belongings for safe transport and overseeing move logistics with trusted partners.
- Coordinating with the destination residence to ensure a smooth delivery and move-in.
- Unpacking and full home setup services so the new space feels safe, familiar, and comfortable right away.
This full-service approach helps families feel confident and supported during long-distance relocations.
How much does senior move management cost?
The cost of senior move management varies depending on the size of the home, how much downsizing is needed, and whether the move is local or long-distance. Common factors that affect pricing include:
- Hours of sorting, decluttering, and organizing
- Packing and unpacking services
- Estate sale support, donation coordination, or cleanup needs
- Travel or long-distance transportation arrangements
Silver Solutions provides free estimates and customized plans so families understand costs upfront—no surprises.
What happens if my parent doesn’t want to move but needs to?
This is one of the most common—and emotionally challenging—situations families face. Silver Solutions takes a compassionate, respectful approach that balances safety with dignity and independence.
We help by:
- Listening first to understand your parent’s fears, concerns, and emotional attachment to their home.
- Involving them in decision-making so they feel heard, respected, and in control—not forced.
- Gently explaining safety risks and the potential consequences of staying in a home that is no longer safe or manageable.
- Offering gradual steps such as decluttering, organization, or safety modifications as a bridge toward relocation.
- Supporting families in difficult conversations, helping them navigate the balance between independence, safety, and long-term well-being.
The goal is to make any transition—whether staying with support or moving to a safer environment—as gentle, dignified, and respectful as possible.
