Things You Can Do to Help Your Elderly Parents Move Home
- Help Them Sort Through Their Belongings
To get the moving process rolling, start off by helping them sort through their things. Elderly people tend to hoard things and can find it difficult to let go of them. It’s important to understand that moving is a big change in their life and they might be scared/anxious about it. So, instead of pushing them to get rid of things you don’t feel are necessary, try to strike a deal with them. Maybe tell them they can keep 2 items from the throw-out pile but the rest need to go. This will give them a sense of control over their environment and the move and will go a long way in easing their minds.
- Find A Trustworthy and Reliable Removalist for Them
More often than not, elderly people struggle with technology. So, your parents might have trouble looking up online and finding a trustworthy and experienced Residential Removalist. Not all Movers are the same. Get an upfront written quote to avoid any confrontation or confusion regarding payment down the line. In fact, the smart thing to do would be to get everything in writing so you have proof of the services you’ve paid for in an itemised fashion, making everything clear and legit. It’s also recommended that you hire the Removalist to do it all, right from packing and unpacking, to dismantling and assembling furniture and utilities changeover. All of this will make the move as seamless and easy as possible. AAA City Removalist provides all these services for a comprehensive move.
- Help Them with Address Change and Other Important Services
They will need to inform the post office of their new address to have all their post redirected to the new home. Additionally, you will need to help them with things such as getting their medical records transferred, finding health services and community groups in the near their new home so they don’t feel isolated in a new neighbourhood.
Whether your parents have decided to downsize or want to move closer to you, moving is a mammoth undertaking that requires careful planning and execution. Help your parents out as much as you can and hire Professional Removalists to take care of the major chunk of the relocation for your peace of mind.
