Initial planning

Gathering Priorities and Contact Roles

Start planning by talking openly with the older adult about what matters mosttheir daily routines, which items they value most, and how privacy or independence will be respected. This move is shaped by consent and comfort. Family and supporters should agree on a primary coordinator and a backup point of contact, especially if some live out of the area. Remote participation through calls or video can ensure everyone stays informed and involved.

A thoughtful planning conversation sets the tone for a well-run move and avoids confusion on decisions or communication as the process continues.

  • Prioritize the senior's wishes and daily needs.
  • Designate main and backup contacts to coordinate move details.
  • Plan for remote participation if not all decision-makers are local.

Organize belongings

Sorting, Measuring, and Choosing Destinations

Decide together which items are essential for the new home, which can be set aside for family, storage, or donation, and what should remain. Measure larger furniture and confirm room sizes at the new residence to avoid crowding or surprises. For moves involving deliveries to multiple family members or locations, make clear lists to avoid misdirected items.

Early sorting and labeling make moving day smoother and help ensure sentimental items go where planned. Labeling by destination and providing written instructions supports comfort at both ends of the move.

  • Sort by: new residence, family, storage, donation/staying.
  • Measure large items and the destination rooms.
  • Make lists for multi-stop delivery needs.

Coronado Parking and Moving Vehicle Considerations

Residents can obtain a free 48-hour permit to park an oversized vehicle on the street for loading or unloading, but such permits are not available for commercial uses and require documentation at the Police Department.

If your move uses a personal large vehicle for loading or unloading at your Coronado residence, check if a 48-hour permit is available and ensure your reason is non-commercial. Commercial moving trucks do not qualify for these permits, so confirm alternative parking or loading arrangements with your building or HOA.
