Kay’s Senior Moving Services experience: Making moving a breeze.
Moving house can be an overwhelming experience, especially when juggling a busy schedule and sentimental belongings. That’s where Move By Design’s senior moving services can make a world of difference. I recently had the pleasure of working with Kay, who entrusted Move by Design to assist with her relocation.
Kay reached out to me after seeing a post about Move by Design’s senior moving services on a local Facebook community page. She knew she needed some extra help with packing and unpacking, and decided to give my services a go. At the time, Kay had a lot on her plate. Not only is she a dedicated Neighbourhood Street Coordinator, but she was also serving as the President of the Auckland East Rotary Club, all while working part-time. With such a full schedule, she wanted to ensure her move was as smooth and stress-free as possible.
After visiting Kay’s home and assessing her needs, I estimated that a single day would be enough to get her fully packed and ready for the movers. We began the process with a collaborative approach. Together, we carefully packed her treasured family photos, artwork, bedding, and the contents of her guest living area. We worked efficiently, but still made time to pause for a chat and a laugh. During one of our breaks, we discovered a lovely coincidence—our family members actually knew each other!
That personal connection made the packing process even more enjoyable. It’s one of the many things I love about offering senior moving services – getting to know my clients on a deeper level and sharing stories along the way. For many seniors, moving isn’t just about boxing up possessions, it’s about handling memories and transitioning into a new phase of life with dignity and care.
The day after Kay’s move, I returned early in the morning to help her settle in. We focused on getting her kitchen unpacked and organised, ensuring she could start her day comfortably in her new space. In just four hours, we managed to make significant progress, finishing the kitchen and making a strong start on the rest of the unpacking. By the end of our session, most of the major tasks were completed, leaving Kay with a well-settled home and a clear mind.
Here’s what Kay had to say about our Senior Moving Services experience:
“Clare came to help me with my move recently which is always a difficult time. Clare was extremely helpful and took a large part of the stress of packing away. Having someone calm to work alongside with, helping to make the tough decisions, was a real treat. I would thoroughly recommend Clare for packing and unpacking when you are moving house.”
It was truly a pleasure to work with Kay. At Move by Design, we take pride in offering senior moving services that are not only practical and efficient, but also compassionate and tailored to each individual’s needs.
If you or someone you know is planning a move and could use a helping hand, especially with the emotional and logistical challenges that often come with moving later in life, please consider reaching out. My senior moving services are designed to make moving easier, more manageable, and even enjoyable.
Let’s make your next move a breeze, just like we did for Kay.
