My parents are 75ish. They live in Philly. I live in Minnesota with their only grandkids. They want to live here in the spring and be near their grand kids.   They don't have tons of money so cheap is good. They do have long term care insurance should they need memory care. 
 

Tentative plan:

have them get rid of tons of E36 M3 

sell their house I Philly 

use pods or similar for moving

Fly to Philly pack up the stuff(hire labor for loading)

Either pay for someone to more my parents cars or rent a truck ans trailer to bring out tbt stuff they want that is not in a  pod  

they will stay in a basement bedroom at my place until they find an apartment 

 

what should I know that I don't know.  I'd rather they be closer to me if they have a medical event then half way across the country.

Older parents are fragile.  Use lots of bubble wrap while boxing them up.

For everyone's sanity find the place and move them in bypassing the basement bedroom.

F pods. One 16' pod to move from Knoxville to myself in Michigan is about 1500$. I can easily move everything in it with my kids help into a 800$ uhaul. Plus that's emptying another 10x10 unit.
