Q: What is Smooth Mooove?
A: We are the only company of our kind in the U.S. because we do much more than move seniors.
Q: What do you mean by that?
A: Seniors moving from their homes into assisted living facilities face a different set of challenges than other people who move. We help them work through the entire transition of moving.
Q: What are the steps you take to help move a senior?
A: Downsizing is the first thing. What to take, sell, donate and give away. Next, we do the packing, then transport their belongings. Finally, we unpack and set-up their new home.
Q: Is this a big help to them?
A: Yes, because moving can be very traumatic. They are leaving a home they've perhaps spent 20, 30, or 50 years.
Q: Explain the process. How long does the move take?
A: It's usually 2 days. One day of packing. And one day to move and set-up. When we arrive to pack up, the senior(s) go somewhere for the afternoon. Later, when they arrive at their new home, all of their possessions are exactly where we planned they would be.
Q: That is amazing!
A: Yes. It really makes them feel like they're home when they see their slippers in the same place they're used to seeing them.
Q: Are there any other services you provide that are helpful to seniors who are moving?
A: Yes. We'll help get their house ready to sell. We do renovations and cleaning. We'll also hold estate sales to help them pare down possessions.
Q: How much does your service cost?
A: We are licensed like a regular moving company and charge by the hour as they do. Our other consultative services are fee based.
Q: Thank you Adrienne. Keep up the good work.
