Why Move-Pros

Movers who treat your parents like their own.

Moving a parent is personal. Bay Area families trust us because we listen, we're gentle with a lifetime of belongings, and we never rush.

  • Patience built into every move

    We take time to explain each step, answer questions and let your loved one decide what happens to their belongings.

  • One point of contact

    A dedicated senior move coordinator plans with you, so you aren't juggling vendors or repeating yourself.

  • 20+ years in the Bay Area

    We know local assisted living and retirement communities, their elevator reservations, loading rules and move-in windows.

  • Licensed and insured

    CAL-T 189851, USDOT 1239227 and MC-483729, and an agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving.

  • Background-checked crews

    The people in your parent's home are trained, uniformed professionals, not day laborers.

  • Upfront, written estimates

    Free in-home or virtual estimates with no hidden fees, so your family can plan with confidence.

Senior Moving Services

With Patience & Care

Every family's situation is different, so our senior move management services are fully customizable. Choose the help you need, from a few hours of packing to a complete door-to-door move.

Move Planning & Coordination

We build a step-by-step moving plan around your loved one’s schedule, health needs and the new community’s move-in requirements. We coordinate dates, elevator reservations and building rules so nothing is left to chance.

 

Downsizing, Donation & Debris Removal

We help sort belongings into keep, store, donate and discard, and measure the new space so you know what furniture will fit. Then we haul away unwanted items and debris and drop usable pieces at local donation centers, leaving the old home ready for sale or move-out.

 

Packing, Unpacking & Setup

Our packers carefully wrap china, photo albums, heirlooms and artwork. At the new home, we unpack, reassemble beds and place furniture from a simple floor plan, with clear walkways to reduce trip hazards, so your loved one can settle in right away.

 

Short & Long-Term Storage

Not ready to part with everything? Our secure storage solutions keep furniture and keepsakes safe for weeks or years while the family decides what to do with them.

 

Local, Long-Distance & Specialty Moves

We handle local moves throughout the Bay Area and long-distance moves nationwide through our Wheaton World Wide Moving partnership. Pianos, antiques, grandfather clocks and fine art get special handling from our specialty moving team.

 

Our Senior Moving Process, Step by Step

We’ve refined our process over two decades to keep senior moves calm, organized and stress-free for the whole family.

1. Free consultation

Call (510) 907-9800 or request a quote online. We’ll talk through your loved one’s needs, timeline and destination, with no obligation.

A senior move specialist visits the home (or walks through it by video) to see what’s moving, get to know your parent and note any special accommodations. You’ll receive a clear, written estimate.

We map out every step: packing days, the moving date, storage needs and what goes where in the new home. Family members near or far can stay in the loop.

We help your loved one decide what to keep, store, donate or let go, at a pace that respects their feelings and attachment to their belongings.

Our crew packs and labels everything by room, giving extra care to fragile items, medications, important documents and sentimental pieces.

Our uniformed crew protects floors and doorways, loads the truck and transports everything safely. We keep moving day as quiet and low-stress as possible.

We place furniture, make the bed, unpack essentials and remove debris, so your loved one can rest comfortably the first night.

We check in after the move to make sure everything is just right.

Tips for Helping an Elderly Parent Move

A little planning goes a long way toward a smooth transition. Our senior move managers recommend these steps:

  • Start early. Begin planning 6 to 8 weeks ahead when possible. Downsizing a home of 30 or 40 years takes time, and rushing adds stress.
  • Involve your loved one in decisions. Let them choose which furniture, photos and keepsakes come along. Feeling in control makes the transition easier.
  • Get the floor plan of the new home. Ask the community for room dimensions so you know what fits before moving day.
  • Prioritize comfort items. A favorite chair, familiar bedding and family photos help a new room feel like home right away.
  • Pack a first-night bag. Include medications, glasses, hearing aid batteries, toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers and important documents.
  • Share the stories. Sorting belongings is a good time to record the stories behind heirlooms and pass items along to family.
  • Update addresses and services. Forward mail, transfer prescriptions and notify Social Security, Medicare, banks and doctors of the new address.
  • Plan for the old home. Decide early whether the house will be sold, rented or kept, and schedule any clean-out.

Why Move-Pros

Local crews. National backing. Zero surprises.

We're a Hayward company, not a call center. The people who quote your move are the same people who make sure it goes right.

  • Fully licensed & insured

    Cal-T 189851, USDOT 1239227, MC 483729. Your belongings are protected from the first box to the last.

  • Fleet tracking & online inventory

    Know where your truck is and what's on it. Every item is logged, tagged and available to you online.

  • Eco-friendly packing

    Recycled and biodegradable packing materials as standard, and reusable crates when they make sense.

  • A plan built around you

    Full-service packing or just the heavy lifting; weekend moves, storage in between — we tailor every job to how you actually live.
