Golden Bridges celebrating National Senior and Specialty Move Managers Week

QUINCY — The National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) has declared May 12-18 National Senior and Specialty Move Managers Week.

NASMM and its members around the world are promoting the value of senior and specialty move management and move managers’ commitment to assisting older adults and their families (and people with unique needs) with lifestyle transitions during this recognition week.

Senior and specialty move managers help adults and their families with downsizing to remain in their current home as well as the entire process of moving to a new residence. Move managers specialize in helping their clients with the emotional and physical aspects of sorting through a lifetime of memories in the transition process while providing them with effective options and resources to increase efficiencies and reduce stress.

The theme of this year’s celebration, “The Art of Moving Memories,” underscores the hallmark of move management — helping clients part with possessions without parting with memories and the unique skills senior and specialty move managers offer their clients and families throughout the downsizing, relocation or aging in place process.

“For adults who have lived in their homes for 30 or 40 years, it’s more than just a move. Most older adults making this type of transition need to downsize considerably,” said Susan Scholz, one of the owners of Golden Bridges in Quincy, in a press release. “The organizational and physical tasks, whether you are moving or downsizing to stay in the home, can be overwhelming. Families need a professional to provide them with the necessary tools to reduce the stress that can accompany this type of move, and that’s exactly what we do.”

Golden Bridges has been a member of NASMM since 2013. During its 11 years in business, Golden Bridges has assisted more than 450 clients and their families. For more information, contact Scholz at 217-316-6887.

Founded in 2002, The National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers is a not-for-profit, professional association of organizations dedicated to assisting older adults and their families with the physical and emotional demands of downsizing, relocating or modifying their homes.
