A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR MOVE
Begin with what belongs in the next home
Start with a floor plan and the pieces you use every day. Measure the favorite chair, bed and dining table before deciding what will fit. Make separate lists for items being moved, items family members will collect and anything being donated through arrangements you make.
Use clear labels so those groups stay separate. A smaller, settled inventory makes the estimate more useful and leaves fewer decisions for the morning of the move.

Keep everyone working from the same plan
If relatives are helping from different places, choose one person to coordinate with the moving office. Share the same inventory, dates and destination details with everyone involved.
For a senior living community, ask about arrival hours, elevator access and any delivery instructions. Make sure the new residence is available before scheduling unloading.

Make the first day a comfortable one
Pack an easy to reach bag with clothes, toiletries, chargers and the personal items needed that day. Carry medicines and important documents with you.
Mark bedding, towels and familiar kitchen essentials for early unpacking. A simple furniture plan can help the main rooms take shape without repeated decisions.
Can a family member help coordinate the move?
Yes. Tell the office who will be the main contact and who can make decisions on moving day. A shared inventory and clear instructions are especially helpful when family members live elsewhere.
Do you move belongings into senior living communities?
Community moves can be discussed with the team. Provide the destination, room or apartment details and management's delivery instructions so access, timing and the moving scope can be reviewed.
Can I get help with only the packing I cannot manage?
Tell us which items or rooms need help and what you plan to pack yourself. The team can discuss an appropriate packing scope, materials and scheduling for your particular move.
