Moving Checklist: Moving Your Elderly Parents

Moving

Last updated:

Moving your elderly parents can be a challenging process, but with proper planning and organization, it can be made easier. Begin by discussing the move with your parents and determining their care needs. Research and select an appropriate new home, create a timeline, and gather important documents. Notify loved ones about the move and start packing by decluttering, gathering supplies, and labeling boxes. On moving day, hire professionals to ensure a smooth transition and comfort for your parents. Once settled in, help them adjust by unpacking, setting up medical equipment, introducing them to neighbors, and establishing a routine. Regularly check in to provide support during this transition.
