How we Help our Seniors in Need
Service Coordination
We help choose a qualified, affordable, and respectful moving company. We supervise all aspects of the move and pack for our clients who need help.
Packing & Unpacking
At Safe Moves for Seniors, we are dedicated to making sure all of our clients' possessions are packed safely and securely - from wedding albums to lamp shades!
Moving with Dignity
With this initiative, our goal is to promote opportunities for our clients to move when THEY choose to move and not just be at the mercy of an available friend or neighbor who "might" be able to help.
