FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
In late 2009 I had invested and got involved in both an established assisted living facility in Tehachapi and also an up and coming senior community in Merced, Ca. Over the course of the next couple of months, I had visited the communities several times and spent time with the residents and this experience deeply impacted me. The overwhelming feeling I got from being in the company of elders, I knew then that I had found my calling and made up my mind to change careers and focus on assisting the elder population. In the spring of 2010, Senior Mooove came to be in the midst of helping a family friend move her mother into an assisted living facility; a light came on and I realized that there must be many seniors out there who need to relocate for one reason or another and they would need support. I also realized that they would need specialized support with moving and getting settled into their new home, so I made it my goal to become educated and train in Senior Move Management and I also became a proud member of the National Association of Senior Move Manager (NASMM). The ensuing years have given myself and the Senior Mooove team, additional knowledge and experience to guide clients through the entire downsizing process, gently, supportively and compassionately.
