Senior Moving Tips

Plan your move with these steps from the MoveOn crew.

2
For senior downsizing help Kelowna families benefit from colour-coded labels: one colour per room. Tag donate and recycle boxes separately to avoid mix-ups. Keep a simple floor plan handy for bedroom and living room setups.
3
Avoid peak traffic on Highway 97 when possible. Mid-morning weekday arrivals reduce bridge delays and leave buffer time for elevator bookings. If moving near UBCO or downtown, add loading zone notes in your booking so crews park legally.
4
Disassemble small furniture the day before to shorten clock time. Remove dresser contents, secure drawers, and unplug appliances. Roll rugs and tape edges. List wall-mounted items that need removal so the crew brings the right tools.
5
Plan donations a week out so pickup schedules line up. Set electronics and cords in labelled clear bags. For keepsakes and documents, use small sturdy boxes marked “Open First” and load them last for quick access on arrival.
