[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone - I should have been clear - my parents have toured and know the exact place they plan to move to. My brother and I need to figure out how to get them there.

It does sound like we will just have to take over. We always knew they'd need help and planned to be there for it, but have been waiting for them to make the decision. These responses are crystallizing that my brother and I are going to have to just go do it.  I think they will listen to him forcing the issue and then will let me do all the planning/execution.[/quote]

If they have a place already and it’s continuing care they can likely give you recs for companies that help with the move and downsizing.

As others have said it’s much easier (but still a lot of work) to get them to decide what’s going to the new place and dealing with what’s left in the house after.

These elder move companies are great with helping figure out what furniture will actually fit (with a floor plan of the new place) and will haul the donations (and clutter that is trash) away.[/quote]
