Oak Crest Enhances Senior Living Transition with Personalized Moving Support

Transitioning to a senior living community can be a daunting task, but Oak Crest, an Erickson Senior Living community in Parkville, Md., is making the process smoother for its residents. Through the Priority List, members gain access to Ashley Ruth, a Planning and Moving Consultant, who offers expert, personalized assistance from downsizing to selecting real estate agents. Judy Hurdle, a recent resident, highlights the seamless experience facilitated by Ruth's guidance, from listing her 40-year home to settling into Oak Crest.

The service begins with a complimentary home visit, where Ruth helps create a tailored moving plan based on the individual's timeline and needs. Judy's experience underscores the value of this personalized approach, with Ruth providing recommendations for real estate agents and moving companies, and even advice on donating unwanted items. This level of support not only simplifies the moving process but also alleviates the stress associated with such a significant life change.

Al and Tricia Horst's story further illustrates the benefits of Oak Crest's moving services. By attending a downsizing seminar and utilizing preferred vendors, their move from Bel Air, Md., was executed flawlessly. The couple also took advantage of the Move On Us® program, receiving reimbursement for moving expenses by using a recommended real estate agent. Now settled into their new home, the Horsts are actively engaging with the community, participating in various activities and reconnecting with old friends.

Oak Crest's comprehensive moving and planning services represent a significant advantage for seniors considering the transition to a senior living community. By addressing the logistical and emotional challenges of moving, Oak Crest ensures that new residents can focus on enjoying their new home and community.
