Dr. Perman assisted in my recent move from my private home to an apartment in an independent-living retirement community. At our first meeting, she listened with sincere patience to my tedious recitation of a melancholy history. We walked through the house and she set forth a sensible and manageable plan and timetable for action. Throughout the next month of searching, marking and discarding, packing, unpacking, loading, transporting and all the rest, Barbara was a dynamo of foresight, anticipation, remembering, administering and managing. She is a person of wisdom who provided me with continuous moral support and repeatedly revitalized my own energy. I extend my highest recommendation to Barbara Perman. She will most assuredly win all of her clients' admiration and warm appreciation. Professor Emeritus, Robert G. Hoopes.
Part of the impetus for starting Moving Mentor, Inc. (formerly Moving On, Inc.) came from friends and family asking for organizing and moving help. In 1997 Barbara moved her mother out of a house she had been in for 48 years. A task they had been dreading turned into a rewarding growth experience and spurred Barbara on to do more work helping seniors downsize and relocate.
Today Moving Mentor is a thriving business. Having moved hundreds of seniors and consulted with many young families who want to get organized or who need to move, the firm has expanded its services to meet the needs of facilities, organizations and professionals who work with seniors. Through its consulting services and products, through educational workshops and seminars to inform the public and encourage people to be proactive when it comes to making transitions, Moving Mentor is becoming a prime force for healthy change in the Northeast's outreach to seniors.
