Relocating your home is a hectic task in itself. There are multiple issues that one needs to take care of. Also, if not streamlined, the whole process can go haywire, creating a logistical nightmare. On top of that, moving with seniors can be an added challenge. Their health, belongings, medical emergencies, and transportation limits are always a matter of concern. However, your problem has a respite! We at Packers and Movers in Bangalore, have a different outline when it comes to relocating seniors or households with senior members.
This post will outline the precise plan that we have charted for the elderly, give you an insight into our ways of dealing with emergencies, and notify you of the ways to connect with us. Let us brief it to you –
How do we plan on moving with seniors?
Here are some of the steps that we categorically follow –
Step 1 – Create a checklist
If you are a senior member shifting homes or a family with senior members – we prioritize them. Hence, for starters, we create a checklist that includes –
- How the different goods are to be packed (heavy items, electronic goods, cutlery, and furniture) and transported.
- Then, for regular items, we see which medicines and goods the elderly people require and pack the others according to priority.
- Apart from that, the other household items in the kitchen, lounge, and bedroom, are packed as per their immediate requirement.
- Once that is decided, we get hard boxes, bubble wrap, old clothes, newspapers, tapes, and markers to set the goods for transportation.
Step 2 – Packing according to priority
When moving with seniors, they are the priority. Hence, their regular items of use, medicines, and additionals will be packed and arranged with utmost priority. Our team takes immense care to ensure that all their requirements are categorically streamlined. In this way, neither will they miss out on the necessities during their stay at their old place, nor will they have a problem navigating at their new abode.
Our team packs up the boxes correctly and labels them accordingly to prevent any discrepancies.
Step 3 – Coordinating our checklist with yours
We have prepared the checklist. From packing and labelling the boxes to deciding on the fleet to setting the timings of travel – our experts have it all! We then share this checklist with you to better our coordination. If you make any changes or wish to connect with us for further discussion, you can do the needful.
Step 4 – Getting in touch with your physicians
We understand that moving with seniors if not handled well, can get complicated (medically and otherwise). Hence, a couple of days before the moving day, we get in touch with the physicians, inform them of the moving process, and get the latest reports from them. We also discuss the medical strategies to follow for moving in case of an emergency.
Step 5 – Preparing the new home
Our team of Packers and Movers also helps you set up the new home. For that, we unbox and set up the elderly person’s room at the beginning. From the medicines to the bed (or any other set-up), experts seamlessly deal with this process.
Step 6 – Setting the vehicles correctly
Whether you are a senior moving with the assistance of our team or are a family with elderly members, we understand that you require special care. Hence, we have a specified fleet for the elderly with additional amenities to ease their traveling process. To that, you can add anything ‘more’ you wish to enhance the traveler’s comfort levels.
Step 7 – On the moving day
The final day is here! As mentioned previously, our team has shared all the critical details with you, and we intend to follow the same. In case of any change, we will keep the concerned members updated. Also, a basic health check-up is conducted and the stats are shared. As the team makes its move, we will coordinate with you in real time.
These are the 7 crucial steps that we follow when relocating seniors or families with elderly members.
What emergency measures do we take?
When you are moving with seniors you must take certain ‘additional’ emergency precautions apart from the regular ones. At Packers and Movers, our measures include –
- Allowing the concerned doctor onboard (if your chosen medical professional can make time) throughout the relocation process, as and how you prefer it.
- Getting ‘specialized’ vehicles if the concerned party requires it.
- Keeping a different layout if there comes a need for a sudden shift.
- Keep the godowns available for a fortnight in case of any medical discrepancy or cancelling of plans.
Apart from that, you have a team from our end constantly coordinating with you. So you can keep them updated on every move.
