Here is the link. We go into a seniors home (usually family requests) and help them downsize and then pack them up for a move to a senior community, assisted living or a smaller apartment/ house with no stairs. Professional movers move and transport all the packed boxes and furniture and on the other side we unpack them and set up their bedrooms, kitchens etc.

It is a very rewarding job see in them in their new residence. I personally try to recreate an area in their new place that is familiar to them.
