It’s a stressful time when you’re moving Mom. Her things carry decades of memories, and long-standing family tension can surface over something as small as a set of dishes.

They can sit down with Mom, walk through the floor plan of her new assisted living apartment, and talk honestly about what will fit and what won’t. Mom often hears that differently from a calm outsider than from her own daughter.

This is a lot to handle, and you don’t have to handle it alone. Call your MoveMyMom Advisor at 877-575-9900, or fill out the short form.
