Tips for Planning Senior Moves in Chicago

Senior moves often require a bit more planning than a normal household move. Start by confirming move-in windows and confirming elevator reservation requirements and parking regulations. Apply for Chicago parking permits early as these may take some time to process and may be required for curb access. Create a list of the items that are being moved and schedule packing and transportation services early to ensure they can accommodate your move-in window. You may also want to plan your move date and time to avoid peak traffic times and adverse weather (Chicago winters can be brutal!). With proper preparation, senior moves in Chicago can be completed smoothly and efficiently.

Senior Moving Checklist

Moving to a new state requires careful planning. Here is a short list of things to consider when moving to Illinois:

• 8-12 weeks out: Schedule an in-home or virtual move estimate, compare senior moving companies, and confirm your moving date and move-in window (if applicable).
• 6 weeks out: Begin decluttering and organizing your home; decide what will be moved, sold, or donated. Review building requirements and reserve elevators, if needed.
• 4 weeks out: Secure parking permits for moving trucks (common in Chicago), confirm your move date and move-in window with your retirement or assisted living community. Begin packing non-essential items.
• 2 weeks out: Confirm pickup and arrival times with your moving company and community. Notify your utility companies and other key contacts of your change of address.
• Moving week: Pack remaining items, secure valuables and medications, and coordinate final details with your moving company.
• Post-move: Update your driver’s license or state ID with the Illinois Secretary of State and update your mailing address with the USPS.

Completing these few tasks will help make your senior move more efficient and easier to manage.
