It s too much to pack and decide at the same time. Do the packing just prior to the move either with friends and family, a moving company, or a senior relocation specialist. Make sure medicines are available to the senior at all times. Selecting Movers Check with the retirement community, neighbors, and realtors for reputable movers. Ask the mover to do an on-sight estimate prior to the move.
Movers charge on an hourly basis for local moves and by weight on distance moves.
Unpack and set up the new place as much as possible on moving day or the day following. The sooner things are unpacked and placed the sooner the new place will begin to feel like home. Hang the pictures promptly. They are one of the most important ways that a house becomes a home. A new place that is fully resettled immediately will reduce anxiety and will provide benefits far beyond moving day.
