There are times in your life that are big turning points and moving out of your parents’ house is one of them. Becoming an adult and getting to get out on your own is a huge step. You are ready to spread your wings and start your life. Another big move that comes is when you realize that your adult parents are getting to an age and health that requires them to need more help. Most families don’t all stay in the same city where they can offer services for an ailing parent on a daily basis. There are signs that will come up that mean you need to start looking at bringing your adult senior parent home to live with you again. This is a huge step and moving them long distance can be difficult. It is a good idea to know what you can expect and what will make the move smooth. Prodigy Moving & Storage offers helpful tips below.

Have Open Communication when Moving Seniors

The first thing that you need to do is to continue to have open communication. It can be hard to know things that are going on regularly when you don’t live near an older parent. The best thing you can do is to talk with them regularly and be sure you know when things start to become difficult. The difficulty can be small things like opening jars and other containers all the way to harder things such as driving problems. They also could be struggling with keeping up with care for themselves and their home. When you start to notice that they are overwhelming it may be time to communicate the importance of moving in with a loved one.

Create a Packing & Moving Plan of Action

One of the ways that you can make the move to a new city more acceptable is to make sure that you have a plan of action. This plan needs to include what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. You also want to make sure that you plan the moving truck so that they know when to come to the house to load their belongings up. It is a good idea to plan out the packing and the work that needs to be done and who will be there to help along the way.

What Can They Look Forward to when Moving Elderly Parent to Live with You

You want them to feel comfortable about the move and especially to a new city. The best thing you can do is to take them on a trip to show them what they can look forward to. They can see where they will be living and what is in the area. You can do some research about what they can do and how they can get there. This is a great way to get them excited about a new move to a new place.
