Moving Services for Seniors
Moving Services for Seniors
Moving later in life often means leaving a home full of memories. The move itself should be the easy part. Whether the move is to a retirement home, a new apartment or condo, or closer to family, Moving Up Inc. moves the belongings — the furniture, household contents, and personal items that make the new place feel like home — with care and patience. One thing to be clear about: our part is the move itself. We move the belongings. We do not transport the senior themselves, and we do not provide personal care or transition support — travel to the new home is arranged by the family. Moving Up has been moving homes since 1988 and is rated 4.9 on Google from 45 reviews.
What we can help with
Packing and unpacking
Belongings packed carefully for the move and unpacked at the new home, so boxes are not left sitting for weeks.
Furniture assembly and disassembly
Beds, tables, and other furniture taken apart for safe transport and put back together at the new home, ready to use.
Heavy item moving
Heavy pieces moved as part of the household move.
Piano moving
A piano can be moved as part of the household move, for all piano types. Piano moving is charged separately; the price is given by quote only.
Unwanted-item removal
Items that are not moving to the new home can be removed as part of the move, so nothing is left behind to deal with.

Frequently asked questions
What does your seniors' moving service cover?
We move the senior's belongings: furniture, household contents, and personal items. The service can include packing and unpacking, furniture assembly and disassembly, heavy items, and removal of items that are not moving.
Do you transport the senior themselves?
No. We move belongings only. We do not provide transport for the person, and we do not offer personal care, companionship, or transition support. Travel to the new home is arranged by the senior or their family.
Can you move belongings into a retirement home?
Yes. We can move the belongings into a retirement home or residence, as well as into an apartment, condo, or family home. If the building has move-in rules or booking requirements for elevators, it helps to tell us when you request a quote, so the move day can be planned around them.
Do you move everything in the house?
Yes. A full household move covers all household contents and furnishings that are going to the new home.
What happens to items that are not moving?
Items that are not going to the new home can be removed as part of the move — just tell us about them when you request a quote.
Do you pack as well as move?
Yes. Packing and unpacking are available as part of the move.
Do you take furniture apart and put it back together?
Yes. Furniture assembly and disassembly are part of the service, so beds and other large pieces travel safely and are set up again at the new home.
Can you move a piano as part of the move?
Yes. Piano moving is available with a household move, for all piano types. Piano moving is charged separately, and the price is given by quote only.
