What Good Senior Movers Do

Good senior movers:

Plan around the community’s move-in rules and times
Pack and protect furniture, dishes, and keepsakes
Deliver items to more than one place, like Mom’s apartment and a family member’s home
Set up furniture and the bed in Mom’s new apartment
Work with your move manager if you have one

How Your MoveMyMom Advisor Helps

Call or fill out the form. Tell your MoveMyMom Advisor about Mom, her home, and your timeline.
Get introductions. We connect you with local pros for the parts of the move you need help with.
Move forward at your pace. You choose who to work with, and we check in as the move comes together.

Before You Book Movers

If Mom’s community is gated, the gate will need the names of movers and other crews ahead of time. Ask the office how they handle it.
If Mom’s home is on the water, leave time for the boat, the dock box, and the outdoor gear. Those decisions often come last.
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. If Mom’s move falls in those months, keep a backup date in mind.

Questions to Ask Senior Movers

Are you registered with the state of Florida as a mover?
Can you send a certificate of insurance to the community?
Will you set up the bed and furniture in Mom’s new apartment?

Questions Daughters Often Ask

Do movers need to be registered in Florida?

Movers who do moves within Florida must be registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. You can check a mover on the department’s business license lookup before you book.

What will Mom's new community need from the movers?

Many communities ask for a scheduled move-in time and a certificate of insurance from the movers. Ask the community for its move-in rules and share them with the movers.

How far ahead should we book movers?

As early as you can once you have a move-in date. Winter and the end of the month can be busy, so earlier is better.

What does my MoveMyMom Advisor actually do?

Your MoveMyMom Advisor listens to what’s going on with Mom, helps you sort out what you need first, and connects you with local pros, from senior living advisors to movers and real estate agents. You decide who to hire.

Mom is in the hospital. Can you help us figure out the next step?

We can help. Start by asking the hospital or rehab case manager what level of care Mom will need after discharge. Then call your MoveMyMom Advisor. We can help you look at communities that fit and connect you with help for the move and the house.
