How to Help an Elderly Move to a New Home

Posted on 17/11/2009

The elderly needs help when moving houses. If your parent, a relative or a friend asks for your help, you have to remember a successful move demands planning too. You have to discuss with the elderly what he or she wants. First, you have to pick a location and then you have to discuss how to handle the entire move and the old house.
Choosing the Location
Just like you would choose your own new house, you need to choose a location that's ideal for the elderly. You would have to ask what lifestyle the elderly want to live and how much the budget is for buying or renting the new home. If you have chosen a location it would be your job to investigate. It should be safe. And the needs and the amenities should be conveniently accessible.
How to Do the Move
You have to help the elderly in sorting the things. You may have to do the physical work. But the elderly would want to decide which goes and which stays. In packing you should help the elderly shop or ask for packing materials. You would be responsible for packing everything. But make sure to put labels so it would be easier to unpack later.
Selling Valuables and Real Estate
If the elderly has some valuables you must help him get it appraised and help him or her dispose it as well. You would also need to help him or her find a good real estate agent.
In short, you need to aid the elderly in every step of the way. Even if this may be tiresome for you, it would be fulfilling to see the elderly have a smooth and successful move too.
