Moving a Senior
The Senior Living Blog written by Jeff Anderson says, “Whether moving a senior loved one across the country into a new home, or moving both parents into a senior community, the process can be challenging. Many scenarios require the need to move a senior parent from their own home, and their adult children will want to ensure the transition goes smoothly, tending to their health, finances and logistics.”
When a senior recently decided to move from her Florida home of 35 years to be closer to her children in Ft. Wayne, it wasn’t a quick decision. It took several years to let the idea sink in until the actual moving process began. This move was the final chapter in her life. And that prospect weighed heavily on her. Leaving the place she once shared with her now deceased husband for a new state; a new home, and new friends.
Chris Hawkins at SeniorLiving.org writes, “Moving is overwhelming financially and emotionally, especially for seniors who may be moving for the first time in years, and moving for what may be their final time. The logistics, the money, and the feelings brought out in a move are challenging and stressful.
It is also stressful for the children. They may have ship the furniture for the smaller new house or senior care facility, and sell off assets including the house. Sometimes the house needs upgrading or rehabbing before the house can be sold. With families scattered, how do you take care of the logistics of moving mom and/or dad into a senior care facility.
