Planning Your Senior Move: Timelines, Checklists & Practical Tips
Planning provides peace of mind. A well-defined timeline and practical resources—such as checklists—help prevent last-minute scrambling, reduce costs, and ensure you can focus on what truly matters: settling into your new home comfortably and confidently.
Start planning your senior move at least 3-4 months in advance to give yourself time to address unexpected hurdles.
Begin by choosing a target move date and work backward, marking when to start downsizing, contacting moving companies, and scheduling any medical or financial appointments.
Use a calendar or digital planner to keep track of key deadlines.
