Start with medication, documents, clothing, toiletries, chargers, mobility aids, and a first-night bag that stays with the senior or family member.
Label furniture by destination room, mark priority boxes, photograph current room layouts, and write clear instructions for bed and chair placement.
Packing support helps when downsizing, moving to assisted living, handling fragile items, or coordinating with family members from another city.
