📝 Senior Moving Checklist

Here’s a helpful guide to get started on the right foot:

3+ Months Before the Move

  • Have a family meeting about next steps

  • Contact a Senior Living Advisor (like Family Ties!)

  • Begin researching care communities

  • Review finances and long-term care needs

2 Months Before

  • Start decluttering and organizing items

  • Decide what furniture and personal items will move with you

  • Set a target move-in date

  • Connect with Welcome Home Team for real estate guidance

1 Month Before

  • Schedule movers (ask about senior-specific moving companies)

  • Coordinate with the new community for move-in logistics

  • Collect medical records and prescriptions

  • Arrange for mail forwarding

1-2 Weeks Before

  • Pack essentials for first days

  • Label and inventory boxes

  • Say goodbye to neighbors or special places

Moving Day

  • Bring comfort items and familiar photos

  • Have someone you trust assist on-site

  • Stay hydrated and take breaks

💆‍♀️ Managing Stress During the Transition

Transitions can be emotional — especially for older adults leaving a longtime home. Here are tips and tools to help manage stress and stay grounded:

1.

Start early and go slow.

Take the process one step at a time. It doesn’t all need to happen in one day.

2.

Talk about your feelings.

Moving can bring up grief, fear, or anxiety. That’s normal. Lean on friends, family, or a counselor.

3.

Bring familiar comforts.

Photos, favorite blankets, books, or a chair can make a new space feel like home.

4.

Practice self-care.

Go for a walk, eat nourishing meals, and stay hydrated.
