INSTAMOVERS, a three-time recipient of the Top-Choice Award, is dedicated to setting new standards of excellence in the relocation industry. In 2014, our VP of Sales, while assisting a senior woman with her move to a retirement home, recognized an opportunity to develop a tailored approach for individuals transitioning to senior living communities. This insight sparked the launch of a highly successful initiative in collaboration with several prominent senior care communities.
Services we offer
- On-site Estimate — An on-site estimate, conducted by a regional manager, ensures the project is planned thoroughly and efficiently. During this visit, we work with the client to determine what will be moved, stored, donated, and so on, reducing any uncertainties about the move. This process allows us to provide a precise estimate of the project’s duration and ensures we’re fully prepared for the task ahead.
- Floor planning — Floor planning begins during the on-site estimate, before the move takes place. The regional manager works closely with the client to plan the placement of each item, ensuring everything fits comfortably in the suite and determining the ideal location for each piece. Once a detailed floor plan is created, the crew can arrange the suite according to the client’s preferences, helping them settle in and feel at home right away.
- Storage — Short-term and long-term storage options, available with or without climate control.
- RRemoval services — Disposal of unwanted items by donating them or transporting them to the appropriate city recycling centers.
- Installation — The crew will install washers and dryers, hang pictures, and assemble furniture based on the client's floor plan instructions.
Moving to a senior living community requires a unique approach for several reasons:
- The move often involves downsizing from a larger space to a more compact one.
- Coordination with the drop-off location is needed
This means handling with a few more challenges than usual:
- Making sure to only relocate items that will fit in your new suit’s measurements
- Avoiding to relocate more than your suit can fit
- Deciding what to do with items you have to leave behind: Donating? Selling? Storing? Waiting for the kids to pick up?
- Arriving to your new home at the best time for you and for the home: In time for lunch/dinner?
- Booking the elevator
- Making sure the suit is ready
Tackling these challenges and selecting the right team for the job will ensure a smooth and enjoyable first day in your new home.
