Oak Crest's Personalized Moving Support Eases Transition for Seniors

Moving to a senior living community often presents challenges, but Oak Crest in Parkville, Md., has implemented a solution that significantly eases the process for its new residents. The community, part of Erickson Senior Living, provides expert guidance through Planning and Moving Consultant Ashley Ruth, offering personalized support to those on the Priority List. This initiative has transformed the moving experience for residents like Judy Hurdle and Al and Tricia Horst, who have navigated the transition with remarkable ease thanks to Ruth's tailored assistance.

Judy Hurdle's move from her home of 40 years in Nottingham, Md., to Oak Crest in July 2024 was met with initial apprehension. However, Ruth's comprehensive support, including real estate agent recommendations and downsizing advice, turned the process into an unexpectedly smooth journey. Judy's experience highlights the value of having a dedicated consultant to address the myriad concerns that come with such a significant life change.

Similarly, Al and Tricia Horst's relocation from Bel Air, Md., in the fall of 2024 was made seamless through Ruth's coordination of planning and moving services. The couple benefited from attending a downsizing seminar and utilizing preferred vendors recommended by Oak Crest. Their positive experience was further enhanced by the Move On Us® program, which reimbursed up to $2,000 of their moving expenses for using a preferred real estate agent, showcasing the financial and logistical support available to residents.

Ruth's approach, which includes an initial home visit to create a customized moving plan, has proven effective in addressing the unique needs of each resident. This personalized service not only simplifies the moving process but also ensures a smoother transition, allowing seniors to quickly settle into their new homes and enjoy the community's vibrant atmosphere and activities.
