April 2, 2022 - NEW - A conversation about the complexities of moving seniors safely

When older Canadians have to move - either closer to family, to get out of a large multi-level home to a one-level location, or require transitioning to a special care facility, amongst many other scenarios, the preparation for move day can be very stressful and challenging, especially if they have lived in their home for decades. Canadian Association of Movers President Nancy Irvine has a great conversation with CAM Member Brett Ford who specializes in seniors moves.

Discussion includes moving in general, what a mover does, the need for a "quarterback" to help manage the move, moving into long care homes and retirement homes and COVID considerations, and moving scams that target seniors. Watch video (run time: 22:18 min)

This is time well-spent if your customer base includes older Canadians.
