Moving somewhere new is usually exciting, but it’s also a lot of work. While heading to a warmer area or somewhere closer to family can be rewarding, the moving process is often stressful. And, if you’re a senior, you may have specific worries or obstacles to deal with when planning a long-distance move. From health concerns to downsizing issues, you may already be stressed out about your long-distance move.
Luckily, these tips from the moving pros at Slater Transfer & Storage are here to help make your move easier.
Long-distance moves can put a strain on anyone. It’s a process that most people need help with, but as a senior, you may have extra difficulties with things like packing. It might be more challenging for you now to carry heavy boxes or sort through things. Don’t try to do this all on your own. Ask your children, friends, or other loved ones to help you.
Moving gets even more stressful if you are in a time crunch. While you might not always be able to control the moving timeline, try to give yourself as much time to prepare as possible. This way, you don’t have to strain your body or emotions excessively. You’ll have the energy to go through all your belongings. It’s also wise to give yourself extra time to drive to the new location.
If you’ve been living in the same home for decades, you may have a lot of stuff you need to address. The more things you have, the more complicated it is to move. While you may feel emotionally attached to your items, starting somewhere new can be refreshing. And, if you are trying to downsize, it’s easier to get rid of things before the move as opposed to after.
One of the best ways to make a move easy is to work with professional movers. Instead of handling all the packing, moving, and unpacking on your own, a full-service moving company can ease the strain. You can choose which services you want. Maybe you want help carrying the boxes and transporting them. Or, perhaps, you want someone to pack all your stuff up for you.
