As a 3 time winner of the Top-Choice award, Metropolitan Movers is always looking for new ways to raise the service standards within the relocation industry. In 2014, as our VP of Sales joined one of our crews in moving a senior lady to a retirement home, he recognized the need to develop a tailor-made practice for those who move into such communities. Since then, we introduced a very successful project with few of the leading senior care communities.
Services we offer
- On-site Estimate — Performed by a regional manager, an On-Site estimate assures, more than anything, the proper planning of the project. Together with the client we will agree on what will be moved, stored, donated, etc., diminishing the “unknown” aspects of the move and enabling us to accurately estimate the project length and to properly prepare.
- Floor planning — the floor planning starts at the On-Site estimation prior to the move, the regional manager plans with the guest item by item and assures all the items fits in the suite and what would be the location in the suite. After creating a detailed floor plan, the crew can organize the suite according to the guest’s wishes, allowing the guest to immediately feel at home.
- Storage — Long and short term storage solutions, with or without climate control.
- Removal services — Removal of items that the guest has no use for by donating or transporting to a proper city recycling yards.
- Installation — The crew will install washer/dryers, hang pictures, and assemble furniture according to the guest’s floor plan instruction.
Moving to a senior living has a unique approach for a couple reasons:
- The move is often done from a bigger space to a smaller 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
Addressing these challenges and choosing the right crew for the job will guarantee a wonderful first day at your new home.
