A later-life move is usually a sorting project before it is a moving project. KBA Movers can work at a pace that suits the household, alongside family members or a move manager, and take the heavy work off everyone's hands.
Quick answer
KBA Movers helps Des Moines families with senior moves and downsizing: moving a parent from a long-held home into senior living, assisted living or a smaller apartment, at the pace the household sets.
