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!”

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
