This is often a move from a health perspective. Sometimes this is due to illness or physical defects. Therefore it can be convenient to outsource the move completely to a moving company like Oomen Movers. In this blog we would like to tell you what is involved in moving to a care facility, and especially what you can take into account yourself.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Considerations when choosing a healthcare facility<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First, it is important to choose which care facility you would like to move to. Perhaps you may find it important to stay in the same village\/city. Sometimes it may also be important to live in a beautiful area, such as near the forest or dunes. Factors such as accessibility and compensation may also be an important consideration. After all, you may find it important that your family members can visit easily, in which case you may choose a nursing home near them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Verhuizen-naar-een-zorginstelling-.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Administrative matters you need to take care of<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A move always involves administrative matters, and this is no different when moving to a nursing home. Oomen Movers would like to list a number of practical matters you should take into account just before your move:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quitting your lease \/ selling your house<\/li>\n<li>Communicating relocation to the municipality<\/li>\n<li>Send change of address<\/li>\n<li>Cancel gas, water and light<\/li>\n<li>Insurance cancellation<\/li>\n<li>Subscription cancellation<\/li>\n<li>Cancel memberships<\/li>\n<li>Empty the house<\/li>\n<li>Furnishing new room<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Planning the move<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After your administrative matters it is time to start moving. Of course it is possible to arrange your move together with Oomen Verhuizers, it is then wise to ask for a <a href=\"https:\/\/oomen.com\/en\/moving\/senior-relocation\/\">quotation<\/a>. Together we will look at your wishes and adjust the moving plan accordingly. We often see that moving to nursing homes has to be done quickly and efficiently, after all, moving at an advanced age requires a lot of energy. Nothing like moving with Oomen Verhuizers!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Adapting to the new environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It can take some getting used to, a new home, a new environment. You may have lived in the same house almost all your life, which can cause withdrawal symptoms. It is therefore nice if, for example, you arrange your new living space the same as your old home. Use the same furniture, such as your bed, sofa or chair. It can also be nice to have family members visit you regularly. They are often a great source of support during this turbulent period.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Oomen Movers we see it more and more often, moves to care facilities from an independent living situation.
