Are you or a loved one considering moving to an independent senior living community in The Woodlands, TX? Cleaning out your closets may be a significant chore, so take your time and solicit the aid — and advice — of family and friends. Depending on how many goods you have—and what you’ve crammed into your house—this might take a long time! Continue reading to learn about the type of products you should pack here.
Nametags
Having your clothes washed for you also means you’ll need to stitch name tags onto your garments to keep them from being lost in the wash. Include your entire name and room number on every item of washable clothing or accessory, such as a scarf or cloth belt. If you don’t want to sew name tags on anything, put the information on an inconspicuous section of the object using a permanent marker instead. This may be a fun activity for a grandchild or even other family member.
Your Valuable Jewelry
It is usually safer to carry costume jewelry rather than more costly pieces, but you might want to bring some of your more expensive or heritage things since they have personal significance. Consider leaving the majority of this jewelry with a trustworthy family member or friend, and also inquire about the retirement community’s precautions for such items. You may be able to buy a tiny safe to keep in your room, or you might choose to put some small goods in a safe-deposit box at your bank.
Personal Care Items
Don’t forget to bring all of your personal care goods from your bathroom cabinet, hall closet, and bedroom dresser.
Out-of-season clothing
Since closet space is sometimes restricted, you may not be able to store your out-of-season clothing, shoes, or boots in your new location. Place them in storage. Label the containers clearly (consider using translucent ones) so you know precisely what you’re recovering next winter or spring. You don’t want to purchase something you already possess for the next season!
Washable Clothes
One of the major advantages of relocating to a retirement community is that you no longer have to wash your clothing! This means that any clothes you bring must be machine washable and must not fade or shrink at dryer and high washer temperatures. Bring only anything that can be hand-washed unless you are prepared to do it yourself. Keep in mind that your living area is restricted, and there may not be enough places to hang them. Whether you need to have certain clothes dry-cleaned, investigate if the retirement home offers this service or if a friend or family member can do it for you.
