Senior relocation services and moving to assisted living, memory care, independent living, or retirement communities

Senior transitions take planning, patience, support and muscle so make sure you have enough help!

Once you have chosen a community, check to see what furniture and amenities are included. Many senior communities will have a fitness center, computer room, beauty/barber shop, activity/game room, arts & crafts and include 3 meals per day.

Is there a kitchenette or will you need a microwave and mini-fridge?

Create a floor plan of your new residence to determine what you are able to take

Make a move plan and break down your move into smaller more manageable tasks

Sort all belongings by what you are keeping, selling, donating and throwing away

Bring only things you have used in the last 12 months

Use professional packing materials and specialized boxes like dish packs to protect your belongings

Clothing for all weather and plastic totes if storage is limited to rotate seasonal clothing

You are moving to a much smaller residence so avoid large furniture or simply bringing too much.

Recreate the most important aspects of your previous home and routine

Folding chairs can be great for guests and compact for storage

Forward mail at post office and change address for bank, credit cards, IRS, utilities, insurance, doctors, social security, magazines, and associations/clubs

VERY IMPORTANT FOR MOVING DAY - Pack a box for your first night stay including toiletries, toilet paper, medications, purse/wallet, checkbook, change of clothes, night wear, address book and a favorite framed photo to feel at home
