Senior Moves

What Is a Senior Move?

A senior move occurs when individuals relocate from their homes, where they have been living independently, to an assisted living community, a nursing home, a retirement village, or the home of a family member or friend. Moving services for seniors should recognize that this is a stressful time, especially for those with health problems or memory issues. Many older adults use this time to downsize their possessions, particularly when relocating from a large family home, which can make the move more stressful.

How We Can Help With Your Senior Move

At Ship Smart, our expert movers can assist by packing all of your seniors’ belongings on-site. We can then arrange shipping to multiple addresses if, for example, you want to send some furniture or cherished items to family members. Once these small long-distance moves arrive at their destination, we unpack everything inside their new home and set up the furniture according to the customer’s requirements.

We use only the best packing materials, carefully selected for each item to prevent damage. Should any damage occur in transit, we offer full replacement insurance, covering your move from pickup to delivery.

Our Process

Our team at Ship Smart is here to handle every aspect of your senior move, from start to finish, with our carefully designed, comprehensive process.

• Your Estimate. You can get an estimate anytime, 24/7, through our website for curbside delivery, our most economical service. However, should you require a more comprehensive service, our sales team can help. Contact them by phone, chat, or via the contact form on our website. Your representative will ensure you get the latest promotions and the best service tailored to your needs.
• Pickup. Once you have your estimate, you can request the paperwork from our sales team, who can supply it either in writing or electronically. Once we receive the completed paperwork, we will call to arrange a convenient pickup time. At pickup, it’s up to you how much help you need. We can pick everything up at the curbside, or our expert packers can manage the whole process for you, using the best packing materials and expertise to protect your senior’s precious items.
• Shipping. Ship Smart has multimillion-dollar accounts with some of America’s most prominent trucking lines, so we secure the best possible rates and discounts. Our shipments are a high priority with each carrier, and we have a dedicated representative to provide the best service and resolve potential issues.
• Delivery. Once your senior’s items arrive at their destination, we can deliver them curbside for you to unpack. Alternatively, we can provide everything inside, unpack it, and set up the furniture exactly where your senior prefers. We guarantee your delivery date and can even offer short-term storage solutions at the destination.
