It can be a challenging time to move mom and dad from a beloved, lifelong home to a new city or to an active adult community. The companies that assist with this process have dedicated professionals known as ‘senior move managers,’ and they have their own industry association. The National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) has declared this week (May 13 – May 19) National Senior Move Managers Week.

According to NASMM, this week is about promoting the value of Senior Move Management and their commitment to assisting older adults and their families; not only helping with the actual move experience, but also with the emotional and physical aspects of sorting through and downsizing a lifetime of belongings and memories in the relocation process. For several years now, JK has successfully worked with Senior Move Managers to deliver a stress-free move for senior citizens.

JK is first and foremost committed to delivering stellar service to our customers.  We pride ourselves on making their move experience as hassle-free as possible.  In 2012, JK was recognized for our superior customer service with awards from the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA), the Greater Washington Commercial Association of Realtors, and Angie’s List.  Receiving these awards reflects on the quality of our service thus far, but JK is invested in continued growth to ensure that our customers’ experiences are always positive and that the service we deliver exceeds expectations.

This year, JK will invest in three distinct areas to continue our growth and enhance our customer service, Training and Hiring, Employee Benefits, and Fleet and Facilities.  Through our selective applicant screening process and comprehensive training program we’ll select the best in the industry to become new JK employees.  We will offer our crew and staff excellent benefits to show our appreciation for the hard work and dedication that they offer us daily.  Finally, we’ll ensure that our fleet and our facilities are top notch and offer the latest in technology and security.
