Moving to a new home means more than moving just your individual possessions, belongings and household items. An important component is bringing closure to relationships and personal matters in your old community and creating attachments in the new one. There are various tasks that need to be taken care of when one moves and can differ from one individual or family to another.
Movers, Huntsville ones and others in the surrounding areas, can often help with some of these tasks and provide guidance on handling these tasks in both your old community and the new location.
Bank Accounts
Some banks are regional, so a long-distance move may require finding a new bank. Professional movers are very familiar with the locations to which they provide moving services and can often make suggestions for selecting a new bank. To be safe, it is best to open an account in the new community before closing the account at the previous bank.
Healthcare Issues
One of the most important and personal decisions in making a move is finding new healthcare, professionals. If your insurance company covers you in your new location, your insurance agent can have a listing or make recommendations for new potential healthcare professionals. You can always interview them, either by phone or email, and ask about their working style, their philosophy of treating patients, their credentials, and whether or not they are accepting new patients. Once you do find new healthcare professionals, have your current doctors forward their records to your new doctor.
Having an extra month or two worth of prescriptions from your current doctor can also ease the transition. Your current doctor can call or fax them to the pharmacy you plan to use in your new community so that you can have the medications you need until you get established with a new doctor. Movers can also help with making recommendations for a pharmacy to use in your new community.
Final Closure
Before the movers take your household goods and possessions to your new home, host a going away party, invite neighbors, colleagues, your friends and the friends of your children. Also take a drive around town and visit those spots that hold memories. Take lots of pictures and have a picnic.
