We love helping people move, especially seniors needing to move into a smaller venue. This is a challenge that we meet with compassion, dedication, patience and love.
Downsizing at any age is a source of anxiety, but imagine packing and moving in your late 70s, 80s and 90s!! It is a lot to handle.
At A we pride ourselves on efficiency with loving compassion, that helps the packing, purging and picking process with watchful eyes and a sense of space possibilities and limitations.
Going through sentimental items like old photo albums, record albums, videos and CDs can take a long time as we take a “stroll” down memory lane.
