Cheerful Transitions was created after experiencing an incredibly stressful move with the owner’s elderly parents. They had lived in a beautiful three-bedroom home for over 40 years. Imagine how many memories and belongings they had accumulated throughout those four decades. However, after my father fell ill, my mother was left with no other option but to sell the house and move into a small condo where they could live maintenance-free and get the assistance they needed.
We quickly learned that moving turned out to be a lot more expensive and emotionally stressful than anyone thought it would be. My two sisters and I lived in different states and had to make multiple round trips to go and help our parents downsize and move. All the traveling and days off of work put us behind thousands of dollars.
Once our mother and father were finally settled in, I thought to myself, “There has got to be an easier way to do this” if only we had an unbiased person to offer advice, assistance and emotional support. That would have made a huge difference in reducing stress levels and helping with the endless amount of decisions.
So, my husband and I used our personal experiences to create a unique moving experience for seniors and their families which streamlines the moving process at an affordable flat rate.
Family Relocation Consultants was founded in 2010 and has been dedicated to providing relocation services to seniors and their loved ones transitioning from a long-term family home into a smaller and more suitable place to live.
In 2019, Family Relocation Consultants was succeeded and rebranded as Cheerful Transitions, but continues to make a difference in the lives of older adults by easing anxiety and overwhelmed feelings associated with moving.

This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment
is traveling.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a truck, it is often necessary
for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully
sectioned off from the others.
With the help of computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates
are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the trucks,
as well as shipment weight.
Contact your move coordinator as soon as you can if your move dates have changed.
He/she can process any changes to your plan and discuss updates; keep in mind your estimate
may change depending on the dates you selected.
