For an older person, moving is often stressful. At a respectable age, both the road itself and the changes in general can be difficult to tolerate. If you decide to move a loved one to another city, for example, a grandmother, take this step seriously and thoughtfully.

Instructions
Step 1
If we are talking about moving a grandmother to another city forever, the preparation will be very extensive. Older women, as a rule, get used to their "home" place and do not like drastic changes. With age, this feeling will only intensify. Even not the most comfortable conditions in which she lives may seem nice and dear to a grandmother. Prepare the ground for the move ahead of time, even if it takes months of talking and persuasion. Take your grandmother to a new place, show in what conditions she can live. Discuss together what changes await her, how you will help her cope with new circumstances.
Step 2
If you want to make life easier for your grandmother and move her from the private sector to a comfortable apartment, be prepared for the most unexpected reaction. The chores associated with the garden, cleaning the yard, pets - all this may only seem difficult for an elderly person. In fact, just such a habitual job is often a certain stimulus for people of age, especially if they are not used to sitting around. Successful home farming is associated with vigor and youth, therefore, if you leave your grandmother idle, she can feel a real emptiness and her own uselessness in a new place. Think about what your loved one will do in another city. If the grandmother is still very active, new activities will be vital for her.
Step 3
Help grandma to collect things. In this case, it is important to find a compromise between taking with you really necessary or dear things, but at the same time painlessly parting with unnecessary trash. Think about which of the household items you can replace with new ones. If an elderly woman is too attached to all her household utensils, but you cannot take absolutely everything with you, suggest that she store some of the unnecessary items in a certain place and bring them later. It is quite possible that after some time the grandmother will forget about unnecessary belongings altogether.
