We plan one kind of move: a parent into assisted living
Parent Move Plan is a day-by-day system for families across the United States who have a few weeks to move a parent into assisted living, next to their jobs and often from another city. Every task gets a date, and every person in the family gets a job.
We know what those weeks look like
It usually starts with a phone call. A fall, a hospital stay, or a community that can hold an apartment for three weeks. By 11 p.m. there are twelve tabs open, the discharge planner has said "soon," one sibling is waiting for a decision and another says to call if you need anything.
In the middle of it is your mom or dad, who may be afraid of leaving the home they've lived in for decades. About 63 million Americans care for a family member (AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, 2025). Our work is for the ones who have to get a move done.
What we do that checklists don't
AARP, the Family Caregiver Alliance and others publish good checklists, and we link to them. A checklist tells a family what to do. We built the part it leaves out.
- A date on every task.Enter the move-in date once, and each of the 79 tasks gets its day. When time is short, the early weeks compress and the last week before the move stays intact.
- The work shared by hours.Each family member gets tasks that fit their time and distance. Tasks that need someone on site go to whoever lives close.
- Your parent's voice first.Day 2 asks your parent what matters most in a new home. In the comparison of communities, their own reaction carries the most weight.
Our standards
- Built on public guidance. The tasks follow the practical advice of AARP, NASMM and the Family Caregiver Alliance and answer the questions families raise most: a move on short notice, siblings sharing the work, clearing the house.
- Organizing, done properly. Every task says what to ask, find, schedule or write down. Legal, medical and money decisions go to the right professional, and the plan tells you when.
- Tested before release. Every formula in the sheets is checked with sample data: dates, the 30-day version, the hours per person and the comparison scores.
- Sources for every number. Figures on this site link to where they come from. How we write and check our articles
Independent, and funded by the families we serve
The families who use the plan are the only ones who pay us. That keeps the plan on your side: it tells you to tour several places, read the agreement at home and check inspection reports before you sign.
