What are tips on how to prepare for an elderly parent moving in?
Before the move, elderly parents should discuss all available living options with family or trusted loved ones. Their decisions, desires, and concerns should be respected and considered before the packing process even begins.
Furthermore, any move to a new home involves multiple steps and considerations, and sometimes an adult child’s involvement in their elderly parent’s move is not feasible. No matter how involved a family can be in the move, hiring a move management company is one of the best ways to prepare for the transition appropriately. Your assigned move manager will address tasks and concerns you may not have considered and can also ensure that all steps in the moving process are executed with kindness and precision.

What are tips for how to move long-distance?
Long-distance moves are more complicated than local moves. An experienced move management company will work with local resources to prepare you for the move while finding you resources in the new location to finish your move after you arrive. For reputable move managers, look for NASMM-certified professionals such as Senior Moves.
Some additional tips include ensuring that your selected mover is equipped to transport your belongings over a long distance, arranging for utilities to be activated by the time you move, assembling a floor plan ahead of your move so you know for sure that all of your belongings will fit in your new home, having plans for how you will unpack after you arrive, and more.
When is the best time to start packing for a move?
While there is no one-size-fits-all timeline for everyone, what is true for every move is to give yourself enough time to pack each room of your home while coordinating with the help you need. Many seniors are unable to perform heavy lifting tasks, so elderly movers should ensure that their support system is in place during the packing process.
One reliable method for packing support is to hire a senior move manager. Our team of professionals can come in and do all the packing, sorting, and coordinating for the move. Furthermore, it is especially important to request this professional help to pack your treasured breakables so they can make it through the move.
When should seniors sell their homes?
Home sale timelines are specific to every client’s choice and financial situation. Some home sellers prefer to sell their home prior to their move, while others opt to sell their home after purchasing a new one to avoid the stress of open houses. No matter your home-selling preferences, every move through Senior Moves is customized according to the client’s needs!

What are the top ideas for how to downsize your home?
If you have duplicate items or if you cannot fit something into your new home, consider letting it go. Additionally, consider where you are moving and if you will need a certain item there. For example, senior living communities often provide services or items to their residents.
That said, tackling a downsizing process alone can feel daunting, no matter how you look at it. Your dedicated senior move manager from Senior Moves will be able to help you sort, donate, and pack before moving to your new, downsized home!
What should you know about how to downsize your home for retirement?
Before you start the downsizing process, consider how much room you will have in your new home and how your most important belongings will fit there. Begin to assess your items while tagging items that could find a new home with a loved one. Give yourself time to enjoy your memories while you pack and go through your belongings. Think about whether your remaining items will truly be used in your new home. Have clear goals set by setting up piles to keep, donate, and discard. Enlist help for the heavy lifting. Finally, remember that downsizing can also feel like a relief when the process is complete! Remember that Senior Moves is here to help you with any part of the process that feels too overwhelming.
