How much does a senior relocation cost?

Long-distance senior moves typically range from $3,400 for a studio to $18,500 for a 4+ bedroom home. Cost depends on home size, distance, packing scope, and add-ons like downsizing assistance or settle-in service. Always insist on a binding written quote.

What is included in senior settle-in service?

Standard settle-in includes unpacking every box, placing furniture per the floor plan, assembling the bed and making it with the senior's own linens, hooking up TV and internet, setting up the kitchen and bathroom, hanging wall art, and removing all packing debris.

Are A Plus crews employees or subcontractors?

All A Plus crews are direct W-2 employees, trained specifically on senior relocation. We do not subcontract.

How far in advance should I book a senior move?

4-6 weeks is ideal. We can accommodate shorter timelines (1-2 weeks) when needed for hospital-discharge moves or family-emergency relocations.

Do you handle medical equipment?

Yes. Our crews are trained on hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, wheelchairs, lift chairs, and adjustable beds.

How Our Senior Relocation Works

Senior moves are different from a typical move. There’s decades of accumulated belongings, emotional attachment to a home, often a tight medical or family timeline, and sometimes mobility or memory considerations. We built a seven-step process specifically for senior relocations — calmer, slower when it needs to be, and faster when family or hospital schedules require it.

Step 1

Free in-home consultation

A senior-trained coordinator visits the home (or video walk-through if family is remote) to inventory every room, identify heirlooms or medical equipment that need special handling, and listen to what matters most. We bring family members into the conversation when requested. No high-pressure quotes — just a clear understanding of the work.

Step 2

Binding written estimate

Within 24 hours of the consultation, we provide a binding price — not a non-binding “estimate” that surprises you on delivery day. The quote includes packing, transport, unpacking, debris removal, and any settle-in services discussed. We’ll explain every line. If we missed something, we eat the cost — not you.

Step 3

Downsizing & sorting (optional)

For many senior moves, the new home is smaller — an apartment, a retirement community, or a family member’s extra suite. We offer optional downsizing assistance: room-by-room sorting with the senior (or family) into Keep / Donate / Family / Discard piles, coordinated donation pickup with reputable local charities, and white-glove handling of items going to grandchildren or other family.

Step 4

Full-service packing

Our in-house crews — not subcontractors — pack everything. Dishes, china cabinets, framed photos, lamps, fragile collectibles, and medical equipment all get appropriate materials. We label boxes by room and contents so unpacking on the other end matches the new floor plan. We bring all materials: boxes, packing paper, tape, wardrobe boxes, dish-pack inserts, mattress covers.

Step 5

Loaded onto our truck

A Plus operates our own trucks and our own crews — no broker handoff. Same names, same faces, same accountability from pickup to delivery. We use truck-mounted air-ride suspension and climate-controlled cargo space for long-distance moves. Inventory is tagged and tracked, with the senior or family member signing off before we depart.

Step 6

Long-distance transport

Direct routing whenever possible — no warehouse layover, no mixing your shipment with strangers’. Delivery date is set in writing at booking. We keep family members updated en route. For coast-to-coast moves we typically deliver in 4–7 days; for shorter regional moves, 1–3 days.

Step 7

Unpack & settle-in

On the receiving end, the same crew unpacks every box, places furniture per the floor plan, hangs framed art, makes the bed, sets up the medical equipment, and removes all packing debris. Settle-in services include hooking up TVs, setting up internet, plugging in lamps, and walking the senior through their new space. The goal: a senior sleeps in their own bed, in a fully set-up home, on day one.
