Boston Caregivers: When You Need To Help Your Parents Move

February 5, 2016 by admin

“Being a long-distance caregiver is extremely challenging,” Margaret said. “Don’t ever let anyone tell you any different.” Margaret’s mother, Julianne, is in her nineties. “For a long time, we managed pretty well. There are some great resources in Boston, and I was able to arrange for aides to come in and be with Mom every day.”

An illness put Julianne in the hospital, and while she was there, her health deteriorated to such a point that the physicians felt it was no longer safe for her to live independently. “That meant Mom was discharged to a nursing home. Obviously we can’t maintain an apartment she’s no longer going to use, but how was I going to move all of her stuff out?” Margaret lives in Tennessee, a seventeen hour drive from her Mother’s former apartment. “The logistics were impossible.”

Finding the right Boston moving company can make all the difference in situations like this. “Obviously, trust is so important,” Margaret said. “Mom doesn’t have a lot, really, but what she has is important to her. Knowing I was working with an experienced, professional team of movers who would be careful with her furniture and other things was very important to me.” Julianne’s move was complicated by the fact that some of her possessions were going to the nursing home while others needed to be moved to a storage facility. “It took some time on the phone, but we got that all sorted out,” Margaret said. “You want to work with a Boston moving company who’s willing to provide that extra level of service,” she explained. “It may cost a little more, but it’s worth every penny!”

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
