    FAQ's

    What makes a senior moving service different from regular moving?

    Senior moving is more than just transport — it includes emotional support, downsizing help, and patient, personalized care from trained senior movers.

    Can you help my parent move into assisted living?

    Yes. Our senior relocation services include everything from packing to setup in retirement communities or assisted living facilities.

    Do you provide packing materials for senior moves?

    We bring all the packing supplies needed to safely and gently pack your belongings, and we’ll unpack, too, if you’d like.

    How much notice do you need for a senior move?

    Ideally, 2–4 weeks’ notice is best. But if you need relocation assistance on shorter notice, we’ll do everything we can to fit you in.

    Can I help a family member coordinate their move with you?

    Many of our moves are arranged by adult children or caregivers. You’ll have one dedicated move manager throughout the process.
