Wheaton Introduces Silver Certified™ Senior Moving Services
Wheaton World Wide Moving has taken a significant step forward in supporting older adults with the introduction of its Silver Certified™ moving services. This new initiative aims to aid seniors and their families during the emotional and logistical complexities that arise with long-distance relocations, downsizing, and transitioning into retirement communities.
April Milner, the Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Move Management at Wheaton, emphasized, “Moving as an older adult is fundamentally different than relocating as a young family or middle-aged couple.” The emotional weight of leaving behind a home filled with cherished memories presents unique challenges that often necessitate assistance from family members. This service aims to alleviate some of those burdens by offering professional guidance through sensitive decisions.
The Silver Certified™ program has been designed with the intent to create a supportive environment where clear communication and personalized care become the norm. Endorsed by the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), it prepares Wheaton's extensive national network of moving professionals to cater specifically to the needs of older adults at this critical juncture in their lives.
Some of the key features of the Silver Certified™ program include:
- - Dedicated Move Coordinator: Each move is overseen by a dedicated professional who will manage the process from beginning to end.
- - Proactive Communication: Continuous, clear updates keep families informed every step of the way, ensuring no one feels left in the dark during the process.
- - Written Estimates: Customers receive written estimates prior to booking to ensure transparency about costs.
- - Detailed Shipment Inventories: Careful tracking and inventorying of belongings ensure that items are accounted for throughout the move.
- - Flexible Scheduling: Accommodating customers' schedules tends to make the transition smoother.
- - Careful Packing and Handling: Connection to their emotional belongings is respected through careful packing and handling procedures.
- - Final Walkthroughs: Comprehensive walkthroughs guarantee that everything is in order before moving day.
This thoughtful approach is geared toward making the moving experience less daunting, especially for those who may be downsizing for retirement, relocating to be closer to family, or moving into senior living facilities. Wheaton is committed to ensuring that older adults can navigate these transitions confidently, backed by a team of trusted professionals.
In Milner's words, “At Wheaton, we believe no customer should feel left in the dark during a long-distance move. Silver Certified™ is about helping older adults move forward with confidence while knowing they have a trusted team supporting them every step of the way.”
Wheaton coordinates interstate household moves via its vast network of over 300 independently owned local moving companies across the contiguous United States.
