Senior Relocation Support

Helping Seniors and Families Through Important Transitions with Care

We pay special attention to how overwhelming and stressful that disruption and moves can be, especially for seniors and their families. Our goal is to make the experience feel smoother, gentler, and more supported.

We help seniors through the transition of moving, including downsizing, estate cleanout, senior resettling, and the details that help a new environment feel comfortable and familiar.

We understand both the stress of transition and the excitement of organizing a new bathroom, kitchen, or living space so it truly feels like home.

Kind Words from Clients We’ve Helped

★★★★★

“Ellen Fusco, owner of Moving and Shaking on the Northshore, answered my request by email and phone right away. She came to the house to look at the packing we needed before a major interior painting job. She told us how much an hour and gave an estimate of time. It took 6 hours to pack everything we needed. That was fabulous. I was happy to hire a local Rockport company. We were very pleased and would definitely use her services again.”

“Ellen Fusco and her excellent team were very responsive, proactive and efficient. We needed some rapid decluttering of our home to get it prepared for the October market in a tight time frame. Cheerfully, effectively and quickly Ellen and her team helped us reach our end goal in time for staging and photography by our listing agent and her team. All this was very successful and Ellen and her team played a key role in making it happen. We recommend Moving and Shaking on the North Shore to anyone needing an experienced team with great interpersonal skills.”
