Moving later in life is different. It's not just boxes and furniture—it's decades of memories, treasured possessions, and a major life transition. Town & Country Moving & Storage provides patient, compassionate senior moving services that honor your history while helping you move forward.
SENIOR MOVING SERVICES - COMPASSIONATE TRANSITIONS FOR LIFE'S NEXT CHAPTER
Senior moves are unique. Whether downsizing from a longtime family home, transitioning to assisted living, or relocating closer to family, these moves involve emotional weight that younger relocations don't carry.
Common senior moving situations:
-
Downsizing: Moving from a large family home to a smaller space
-
Assisted Living Transition: Moving to a senior living community
-
Independent Living: Relocating to an active adult community
-
Family Proximity: Moving closer to children or grandchildren
-
Estate Transitions: Moving after the loss of a spouse
-
Health-Related Moves: Relocating for medical needs or accessibility
Town & Country brings patience, understanding, and flexibility to every senior move.
We're Different—On Purpose
Senior moves require more than strong backs. They require patience when decisions take time, flexibility when plans change, and respect for the emotional weight of leaving a longtime home.
What sets our senior service apart:
✓ Patient Communication: We take time to listen, answer questions, and explain everything clearly.
✓ Flexible Scheduling: We work around medical appointments, family visits, and the need for extra time.
✓ Gentle Handling: We treat your belongings—and your memories—with exceptional care.
✓ Decision Support: We understand that deciding what to keep is hard. Take the time you need.
✓ Family Coordination: We communicate with adult children or caregivers involved in the move.
✓ Minimal Disruption: We work efficiently while maintaining a calm, non-chaotic environment.
Comprehensive Move Management We handle every aspect of your move, from packing to transport to placement. You don't have to lift a finger.
Downsizing Assistance Moving from a large home to a smaller space? We can help coordinate what goes to the new home, what goes to family members, what goes to donation, and what goes to disposal.
Packing & Unpacking Full-service packing that's organized and thoughtful. At your new home, we unpack, place items where you want them, and set up your space so it feels like home immediately.
Furniture Placement We don't just drop furniture in a room. We place it exactly where you want it, rearranging as needed until you're satisfied.
Assisted Living Transitions We understand the requirements and limitations of senior living facilities. We coordinate with facility staff and ensure your belongings fit appropriately in your new space.
Estate Cleanouts If needed, we can help clear remaining items after a move, coordinating donations, disposal, and family distributions.

-
Provide updates throughout the moving process

Planning We create a moving plan that accounts for:
-
Your timeline and health considerations

What's going to the new home

Packing Our team packs carefully and methodically, keeping related items together and labeling everything clearly. We can spread packing over multiple days if that's more comfortable.

-
Unpack essentials so you can function immediately
