Our specialized process for senior moving and assisted relocation clarifies every step, from floor plan design to the complete Settle-In Service, ensuring a compassionate, predictable, and dignified move for your loved one.
What makes you the best choice for safe Senior Moving and fully Assisted Moves in London?
GetMovers defines our role as Senior Move Managers, not just movers. We manage the entire emotional and physical transition with a patient, compassionate approach that standard companies cannot replicate.

This meticulous planning, combined with our WSIB-cleared and specially trained teams, eliminates surprises and reduces anxiety. We provide comprehensive Settle-In Services—making the bed, connecting electronics, and arranging the kitchen—so the new residence feels like home from the very first night, establishing us as truly reliable movers.

What do moving costs look like for seniors in London?
Our Senior-First Transition Protocol calculates costs with complete transparency to eliminate financial anxiety. A full-service senior move in London typically ranges from $1,500 to over $4,000, depending on the scope. Unlike competitors who provide vague estimates, we offer an itemized quote that clearly breaks down the cost of the physical move versus ancillary services like comprehensive packing, junk removal, or donation drop-offs. We factor in logistical details unique to London, such as navigating construction on Wonderland Road or coordinating with strict elevator booking windows at Masonville-area retirement homes. This detailed approach ensures there are no hidden fees or surprise charges on moving day. Our commitment to clear pricing makes GetMovers London an affordable moving company you can trust.

How do you provide empathetic Downsizing Services for seniors?
Our team approaches downsizing as a process of honoring a lifetime of memories, not just getting rid of things. We guide seniors and their families through a calm, respectful sorting process using a simple decision-making framework: Keep, Store, Donate, or Discard. We help categorize items, from furniture and photo albums to important documents, reducing emotional overwhelm. By facilitating these conversations with patience and understanding, we help prevent family disagreements and ensure that treasured possessions are handled according to the senior's wishes. This structured yet compassionate method is what makes GetMovers London trusted as one of the most reliable moving services.
- Keep: Items essential for daily life or with high sentimental value, confirmed via floor plan.
- Store: Seasonal items or heirlooms for which a decision has not yet been made; we coordinate storage.
- Donate/Gift: Facilitate delivery to family members or partner charities like Goodwill London.
- Discard: Arrange for responsible junk removal and estate clearing services.
- Document Scanning: Offer assistance with organizing or scanning important papers and photos.
- Appraisal Coordination: Connect families with trusted local estate appraisers for valuable items.
How do families coordinate senior moves when they aren't local?
Our Senior-First Transition Protocol includes a robust communication system specifically for adult children managing a parent's move from another city, like Toronto or Calgary. We assign a single point of contact—a dedicated Move Coordinator—who acts as the family's eyes and ears on the ground in London. This coordinator provides regular updates via scheduled video calls, sends photos of the packing and setup progress, and manages all approvals and decision-points through a clear communication flowchart. This system provides complete transparency and control, giving remote family members the peace of mind that their loved one's move is being handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
- Dedicated Move Coordinator: A single, consistent point of contact for the entire process.
- Scheduled Video Check-Ins: Regular video calls to review progress and answer questions face-to-face.
- Photo & Video Updates: Visual confirmation of packing, loading, and the final Settle-In setup.
- Digital Document Approvals: Easy review and sign-off on the Bill of Lading and inventory lists.
- Coordination with Care Staff: We liaise directly with staff at Longworth or McCormick Home to ensure smooth intake.
