Barrier-free senior citizen relocation in Osnabrueck - live safely with KOCH Moving Logistics

A move in old age is more than just a change of location - it is the start of a new chapter in your life. At KOCH Moving Logistics, we know that: Age-appropriate, fall-proof home furnishings are crucial for your independence, safety and quality of life. As your experienced partner for senior removals in Osnabrueck, we design your new living space so that you feel comfortable and secure right from the start.

Studies show: One in three people over the age of 65 falls at least once a year - often in their own home. The most common causes are the following:

- Tripping hazards such as carpet edges, cables or door thresholds

- Poor lighting in corridors and stairwells

- Furniture that is difficult to reach or unsecured bathtubs

But that doesn't have to be the case! These risks can be minimized with well thought-out planning and senior-friendly furnishings.

Individual consultation before the move

Before the first box is packed, we analyze it together:

– What furniture is needed? (Less is often more - we help you clear out).

– How should the space be used optimally? (Wide passageways for rollators, free access to beds/chairs).

– What aids do you need? (grab rails, shower seats, emergency call systems?)

Tip: Many adaptations are eligible for funding (e.g. via the care insurance fund or KfW). We can advise you on this!
