A Moving Checklist for Your Kids

moving checklist for kids under 10

4 weeks before the move:

Have a postcard party! Gather up postcards or note cards and have your kids write to their friends with your new address. Let them know that they can still connect with their friends and family once they get to your new home.

3 weeks before the move:

Draw a diagram of each child’s new room and let them help choose where you draw in the beds, dressers, etc. Bring in paint chips and fabrics and let them help decorate. Then give them the diagram and let them color it in and add personal touches. Make copies so that they can try out different colors and styles.

2 weeks before the move:

Throw a moving party! Have your children’s closest friends and family over for a moving party. Make it fun, but make sure they can also say their goodbyes.

10 days before the move:

Make a moving kit! Give each child one box for their favorite toys or treats and a change of clothes—a box they can keep in the car with them, so they will always know where their most important possessions are.

1 week before the move:

If you already know someone in your new area, have them write a postcard to each child. Tell them how excited your friend is for them to move nearby and how much fun they’ll have in the new place.
On moving day:

Unpack their rooms first. Fill each room with familiar toys, blankets, books and other items. Make sure they feel at home before moving on to other rooms in the house.

Moving Tips for Seniors and Caregivers

Seniors who retire at home do not always continue living at the same address. A senior’s home is often much larger than the space they actually require, especially if they live in the same house where they raised their family. Downsizing to a smaller home can simplify a senior’s life in many ways, especially if it eliminates the need for stairs. A small home or apartment makes it easier for a senior to move around and locate important items. While moving can be a positive decision, it is still a challenging experience, regardless of age. Here are our top tips to help seniors enjoy a smooth transition into their new home.

Figure out the finances

A senior should consult a financial advisor to understand how moving will impact their financial situation. Downsizing often results in a profit, but this depends on factors such as location, curb appeal and the housing market. Moving can also be a costly process due to the need for real estate agents, renovations, movers and lawyers. Additionally, moving will require a senior’s will and estate to be updated. It is important for seniors to understand the full scope of the situation so they can make informed decisions and avoid surprises. If a senior is unfit to make an informed decision due to a medical issue, caregivers should ensure they have the proper assistance from a trusted, legally-appointed loved one.

Consider the emotional impact

Seniors often struggle with loss, whether it applies to their health, loved ones or independence. Saying goodbye to a family home can be an emotionally difficult experience, especially when the home was a backdrop to important moments and memories. Caregivers should monitor a senior’s emotional state during a move and ensure they receive plenty of support. Taking time to say goodbye and choosing a memento can help ease the process.

Choose the right home

It is important to choose a home that compliments a senior’s health and lifestyle. A number of factors should be considered when house hunting, including:

Is the house wheelchair accessible?
Are there stairs or other features that require advanced mobility?
Is the house close to important amenities such as stores, hospitals, libraries or community centres?
Is the house near loved ones who live in the same city?
Is the neighborhood quiet and safe? Are there nearby parks or places to enjoy fresh air?
Does the house need costly or disruptive renovations?
Does the house require extensive upkeep, such as a large backyard?
Does the senior enjoy the look and feel of the house?

Update contact information

Once a senior has purchased a new home, a caregiver can help them update relevant contact information. Many seniors have not switched to online banking or billing, which makes it vital to inform banks, utilities providers and cable companies of a change of address. Additionally, many seniors keep in touch with friends or loved ones through cards and letters. To ensure that a senior does not lose touch with important contacts, consider sending a change of address notice or arranging mail forwarding.

Prepare to move

Moving is a physical process that is often unwise or even impossible for seniors. Hired movers can help transport and arrange furniture and boxes. Movers can also assist with packing, but this task is perhaps best left to a trusted caregiver. A caregiver can help a senior sort, pack and unpack their belongings while keeping track of important items, such as medications and prescriptions. Additionally, a caregiver can help a senior locate important items while they get used to their new environment.

Moving is a difficult transition for anyone, but a supportive caregiver can help a senior settle in and feel at home. Are you thinking of moving into a new home? Ask us your questions in the comments.
