This session will explore how proactive move-management strategies enhance both resident experience and operational efficiency in retirement communities. The presenter will outline how proper planning, and full suite setup reduce emotional strain, create “instant comfort,” and support residents’ social and emotional adjustment from day one. The session will also highlight how move managers increase family satisfaction, minimize conflict, and relieve staff from non-care tasks such as packing and furniture placement. Finally, the presenter will demonstrate how integrating move management into the move-in process prevents delays, reduces cancellations, and streamlines suite turnover for smoother, more successful move-ins.
