We have been exploring some strategies you can use to help prepare your senior parents for an upcoming move. You may want to help further ease the stress of the move by hiring a full service moving company to handle the logistics. Some moving companies such as 3 Guys Moving offer services that can be extremely helpful. For instance, our movers and packers will pack up all of their belongings for you. This can be a huge help, especially if your parents are not able to assist with the process. We are also a moving and storage company, so we offer storage options if your parents need to make an interim move.

Let’s look at some recommendations that can further help the moving process.

Preparing for Your Full Service Movers and Packers to Arrive

Once you have scheduled a date and time for your full service movers and packers to arrive, there are some things you can do to prepare. First, make sure that all of your parents’ belongings are ready to be packed. It can also be helpful to create a floor plan of their new home so that the movers and packers know where to put everything. Also, be sure to designate someone to be readily available on the day of the move to help direct the movers and packers and answer any questions they may have.

Label Boxes

One way to make unpacking easier (and to avoid any mix-ups) is to label all boxes clearly and accurately. In addition to labeling each box with its contents, be sure to also include the destination room so that your movers and packers will know where to place each box at the new residence.

Our next article will offer some tips to help your senior citizen parents adjust to their new home.
