Our On The Move Program
If organizing and downsizing for a new chapter of your life sounds a bit daunting, why not let The Merion’s On The Move Program handle it for you?
On The Move is a full-service downsizing and packing program that pairs incoming residents with a personal moving consultant. They will visit your home to discuss all the details of how you envision your move, then help you plan it out. Our team is fully certified by the National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers.
The program can help with any stage of the transition into independent living. This means if you need to sell some of your stuff, your consultant can help with what to keep, sell or donate. Or maybe you’re unsure how to budget for moving expenses. They can help with that, too.
How Does the On The Move Program Work?
When the consultant arrives at your home, they will be ready to discuss any stage of the move. This includes downsizing, packing and then unpacking at The Merion. The consultant will assess your needs, room by room, and determine what moving supplies you need.
They will assist with as little or as much as you require of them, even helping you determine a moving timeline. Other services include ordering any other packing materials and referring trustworthy moving companies. If you so wish, they’ll even help you start packing and label your belongings, organizing them with the utmost care.
In the days leading up to the move, your consultant can provide any move-related paperwork, close utility accounts, and handle any other details as they arise. They will also coordinate with your movers on moving day, making sure that any important documents are easily accessible for your first night at The Merion.
Once you arrive, they can help you with unpacking and setting up your kitchen and bathroom.
