    DOWNSIZING SUGGESTIONS FOR SENIOR PERSONS

     

    Moving from a larger home to a smaller one can be stressful for most retirees and seniors. Some elders may experience emotional downsizing. Here are a few ideas for downsizing.

    TALK ABOUT IT

    It may be difficult to acknowledge that you are feeling overwhelmed by your relocation. We strongly advise you to keep in touch with your family and friends. This is a fantastic starting step toward stress relief.

    CREATE A STRATEGY

    Consider what your new home will look like once you've downsized. Consider what you'll require and how you want it to appear. Look to see if there are any restrictions on space. Creating a timeline is a fantastic idea. Establish a schedule for completing specified activities and stick to it. You will feel more organized if you write down precise deadlines. We recommend that you get your cable and internet set up the day they move in.

    SEVERAL ITEMS SHOULD BE REDUCED IN SIZE

    We recommend that you do so.

    PACK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

    We recommend that you use a professional packing service. This will aid in keeping everything orderly on the day of the move. We recommend obtaining boxes, packing tape, packing paper, permanent markers, and scissors ahead of time if you plan on conducting your own move. Filling every box to the brim will make it tough to lift. It's a good idea to draw a picture of the contents on the box's side. Always remember to lift using your legs and to ask for assistance when lifting large goods! Take pictures of anything that needs to be taken apart. For screws, use small Ziplock bags and tape them to the furniture.

    SET UP SHELTER

    Downsizing and moving in such a well-organized manner will make unpacking a breeze.
