• The numbers tell the story. The U.S. population aged 65 and over will jump nearly 80 percent when the Baby Boom generation retires (from 2010 to 2030). By 2030, the elderly will account for one-fifth of the total U.S. population. Did you also know that Americans age 85 and above comprise the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population?
• Today, many families are geographically dispersed and adult children are often not able to help with the moving process due to distance, career or family obligations.
• Many older adults have no surviving children, or increasingly, their children are older adults themselves. If illness or death precipitates the move, the family is likely already drained both emotionally and physically. They need help. Senior Move Managers emerged to fill these gaps and to facilitate the transition for everyone involved.
• Older adults making a transition have usually not moved in 30, 40 or 50 years and need to downsize considerably. The organizational and physical tasks associated with planning and implementing such a complex move can be overwhelming for the entire family. Seek the help of RightSized Living and call 774-764-7725. We are the experienced, insured professionals.

• It's virtually impossible to calculate what a specific move might cost, as the fee can vary considerably by geographic region and the services requested.
• Depending on the scope of the job, RightSized Living can charge their fees on an hourly basis, or package the cost of the entire job at one price.
• RightSized Living will always outline the cost of a job through a written estimate before you are required to submit payment.
-
Yes, absolutely! RightSized Living offers a menu of services and you can pay accordingly. The ultimate goal of our company is to ease the stress of the move process for older adults and family members, not add to your concerns.

• Move Managers minimize the chaos and stress associated with moving by addressing all aspects of the move process. They are responsible for creating and executing a seamless action plan, customized to the client's wishes.
• Senior Move Managers will work closely with a reputable local moving company to complete that aspect of the job.
• With the gentle and expert guidance of an experienced Senior Move Manager, older adults and families make the key decisions without the emotional and physical distress that can follow. As a result, they avoid the costly mistakes and remorse that often accompany such major lifestyle transitions.
• Senior Move Managers do so much more than simply sort, settle and move boxes; with loads of energy, expertise and experience, Senior Move Managers take the worry (and work!) out of the move process. The client's job is to simply enjoy his or her new living arrangement.
