Seniors On The Move


Whether moving a senior loved one into a new home or moving your parents into a senior community, the process can be challenging. if you find yourself in the position of helping your senior parents move into a new home, there are some important factors to consider. Armando Movers have put together some tips to keep everyone happy and more comfortable during this transition.

Communication is Key

Make sure your parents feel included in the moving process, especially if they’ve lived in their current house for a long time. Be sure to communicate openly with them about the decision to move, why it is important, what positive aspects will come from moving. Make sure you have plenty of time to answer questions that may arise and involve your parents fully in choosing a new place to live.

Plan out Their New Home

Sometimes your parents may not be concerned about the aesthetic of their new home, however, you should take the time to plan the layout of the space. Choose furniture that is important to them. Perhaps a favorite chair, an heirloom hutch, etc. Having familiar and comfortable pieces of furniture around helps ease the transition and make things feel a bit more at home.

Surround your Parents with Support

Having some extra helping hands during the move is helpful, but it’s also an extra source of emotional support for everyone involved. Invite friends and other relatives to participate in the move. It’s important to remember that everyone may need some extra support in this lifestyle transition. Make sure your parents feel loved and supported.

Help your Parents to Downsize

Chances are that at the senior stage, your parents have collected a lot of stuff that they don’t necessarily need to take to their new home. To make the move a lot easier, start decluttering well in advance. Consider donating furniture that you won’t be taking with you, or arrange a storage unit for things that they don’t want to part with, but can’t take to their new home.

Hire a Full-Service Mover

When you’re moving your elderly parents, the last thing you want to be worried about is loading everything into the moving truck. Hire a professional company like Armando Movers, to take care of all of the details so that you can focus on what matters most.
