Our previous article discussed some ways to help your parents declutter and prepare to pack. Today, we will explore more strategies to consider.

Prepare Essential Documents

Another important step in preparing for a move is to gather all of the essential documents your parents have and will need. This includes their birth certificate, social security card, passport, driver’s license, insurance information, etc. Make copies of all these documents and keep them in a safe place where you can easily access them. You should also have your parents sign any necessary legal documents in advance, such as a power of attorney or medical directive.

Develop a Timeline

Timing is everything when it comes to moving, so it’s important to plan out a timeline in advance. Decide when you want to start packing up their home, when you want your full services movers and packers to come, and when you want to arrive at the new home. It’s also helpful to plan for some down time so everyone can get plenty of rest and avoid getting too stressed out during the process. Once you have a timeline set, stick to it as closely as possible to stay on track and help make the moving day go as smoothly as possible.
