Real people. Real senior moves.
JK Moving helped my mother move from a 4000+ sqft home in Colorado to South Carolina. Pirouz from JK was wonderful, arriving early morning in Colorado for a walkthrough.

Moving a loved one
You can have a positive impact on your loved one’s senior transition.
Before the move
FOCUS ON PERSONALIZING THEIR NEW HOME - Moving to a new home can be a source of anxiety, particularly for seniors. As they exchange familiar personal space for a new environment keep their concerns in mind as you help them downsize. When they cannot bring all their possessions to a new home, at least some of their most important and prized possessions should have a place. As you start talking to them about the move, be sure to ask which items are most important to making them feel at home.
On moving day
SET ASIDE VALUABLES AND NECESSITIES - Certain items should always travel with your loved ones and not in the moving truck, like cash, jewelry, legal documents, and medical records. They'll also want quick access to the necessities while their belongings are being unpacked at their new home. Things like phone chargers, laptops, toiletries, clothes, and more can be placed into a separate box and labeled "Necessities".
After the move
VISIT SOON - One way to help seniors feel at home is to visit them in person soon after they move. The opportunity to have guests helps establish that a new space is not just a waystation but a home that belongs to them. This is true even if they have moved into a room in your home. By visiting them in their designated space, with their permission, you help them recover the feeling of ownership they had when they were living on their own.
Senior moving resources
JK’s senior moving specialists will offer valuable guidance and support throughout the relocation process but in the meantime here are some valuable resources.
Helping older adults decide when move to a new home
Researchers have identified at least 88 different potential factors that influence whether and when older adults move. Some of those factors are financial, such as whether they can afford the housing costs where they live. Others are related to mobility, such as whether they need help with performing daily activities. Yet others are social and psychological, including how close they are in proximity to friends and family, and whether they feel independent.
Helping seniors plan their move to a new home
Moving is a big decision for anyone, and particularly can be for a senior. There are so many factors to consider that just making the decision to move can seem like the hardest part. However, the move itself requires logistics, planning, and all the decision-making that entails. You can help reduce the anxiety your older loved one in many ways.
