Senior moving
& downsizing.

Moving a parent — or yourself — from a long-time home into something smaller. Patient crews, careful handling, and a new home that feels set up on day one.

01

A calmer move for big life changes.

Leaving a home of 20 or 30 years is not a normal move. There is more to sort, more emotion, and often family members coordinating from out of town. What helps most is a crew that is patient, careful with things that matter, and doesn’t rush anyone.

We move seniors across Montgomery County — from family homes in Potomac, Bethesda and Rockville into condos, apartments and senior living communities. We work with adult children by phone and email, follow the floor plan of the new home, and set up the bedroom first so there’s a place to rest at the end of the day.

Pricing is the same as every move we do: an hourly rate for a 2- or 3-mover crew plus a one-time 1-hour arrival fee. You know the formula before the move and see the total, calculated together, after unloading.

How you pay

How senior moves are billed

An hourly rate for a 2- or 3-mover crew, plus a one-time 1-hour arrival fee for the truck and travel. Nothing is added for stairs, heavy items or extra care.

Example

A 3-mover crew works 5 hours from arrival to the end of unloading. You pay 5 hours of crew time + the 1-hour arrival fee = 6 billable hours at your crew’s hourly rate.

Because the total depends on the time actually worked, we don’t give fixed prices in advance. What we do give you up front is the hourly rate for your crew, so you can plan.

How our pricing works

Hourly crew rate

You choose a 2-mover or a 3-mover crew. Each has its own hourly rate, and you only pay for the time the crew actually works.

1-hour arrival fee

One hour added once per move. It covers the truck and the crew’s drive from our office to the home and back to the office afterwards.

Total after unloading

The clock starts when the crew arrives at your job and stops when the last item is unloaded. That’s when your total is calculated — together, on the spot.

No add-on fees

No fuel surcharges and no stair fees. Pads, shrink-wrap and furniture disassembly are part of the job.

How we help

What we do differently on senior moves

Floor-plan placement

Share the new floor plan (most senior communities provide one). We place furniture where it’s planned, so nothing has to be shuffled later.

Bedroom first

We unload and set up the bed, nightstand and essentials first, so the most important room is ready early.

Packing help

Our packing crew can pack the whole home or just the kitchen and fragile items, a day or two before the move.

Family coordination

Adult children who live elsewhere can handle booking and questions by phone or email. We’ll keep everyone informed on move day.

What doesn’t fit

Items going to family, or not decided yet, can go to a second address or into storage in the same move.

No rushing

We plan realistic time and keep a calm pace. The crew is there to help, not to hurry anyone out the door.

Moving into a senior living community

Senior living communities in Montgomery County — for example Ingleside at King Farm, Asbury Methodist Village or Riderwood — usually have their own move-in rules. Before move day, it helps to ask the community:

Send us what you learn and we’ll plan the move around it. If you’re downsizing from a large house, start sorting early — moving only what fits the new home saves both time and money.

FAQs

Questions we get a lot

How much does a senior move cost?
The same as any move: an hourly rate for a 2- or 3-mover crew plus a one-time 1-hour arrival fee for the truck and travel. The total is calculated after unloading. See our moving cost guide.
Can family members book and coordinate the move remotely?
Yes. Family can book, share floor plans and ask questions by phone or email, and we’ll keep them updated on move day.
Can part of the furniture go to a family member’s home?
Yes. We can make more than one stop in the same move — for example the new apartment, a relative’s home and storage.
Will you set up furniture and beds at the new place?
Yes. Reassembling beds and standard furniture is included, and we place furniture according to the floor plan.
Do you work with senior living communities?
Yes. Tell us the community’s move-in rules and COI requirements and we’ll plan around them.
