Moving with seniors provides it’s own set of unique challenges for a moving family. It’s great to take care of your older family members when they can no longer live on their own, but when you need to move it can put extra stress on the experience. Here are a few tips for moving with senior citizens:
- Make sure you accommodate for any health concerns the senior may have. Make sure all your prescriptions are filled before leaving and the method of travel is safe for the senior.
- If you are moving far, find a new doctor ahead of time and establish a relationship with the new physician prior to getting there.
- If they are leaving their home to move in with you, help them downsize by donating and selling some of the furniture and other items they have accumulated over the years.
- Keep them in the loop when you are looking for the new home so that they feel like they are part of the house hunting process. Let them be a part of the process of choosing where they will stay in the new home.
- Hire a professional mover to make the process easier, and to take some of the stress off of the senior.
