Senior Moving Company

Making Senior Moves Easier for You and Your Family

Moving later in life comes with real decisions. You may be downsizing, relocating closer to family members, or planning a transition to a senior living community. For many families, it’s not just a move. It’s a moment that requires care, patience, and a plan everyone can trust.

Bekins Van Lines understands moving is tough no matter your age—and we also understand there are certain considerations involved when an older adult is relocating. The process needs to feel organized, supportive, and clearly managed from the start. As a senior moving company with a nationwide network of experienced Bekins agents, we provide a structured approach that helps you move forward with confidence.

For more than a century, Bekins has helped individuals and families navigate important life transitions—including moves later in life that require extra planning, patience, and care. Since 1891, we’ve built a reputation for delivering well organized, professionally managed moves that give customers confidence during moments that matter.

Whether you’re an older adult preparing for your next chapter or an adult child helping a parent transition into a senior community or a smaller home, Bekins’ senior movers bring clarity to the process. Your move is carefully planned, documented, and coordinated by a dedicated move specialist who keeps you informed every step of the way so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.

When you move with Bekins, you can expect thoughtful planning, careful handling, and proactive communication to make the experience easier for you and your family. A professionally managed move can make all the difference for a stress-free transition.

Moving as an Older Adult?

Don’t Settle for Less, Move With the Best

Bekins is happy to help during your entire move. From packing to storage to delivery, our moving company’s services are unparalleled. Are you downsizing to a smaller home? Do you have specialty items that you need moved? We can do it all. A few of our senior moving services include:

• Full Service Moving. We don’t leave anything out. Our loading and unloading services cover all the bases.
• Packing and Unpacking. Packing and unpacking can be physically demanding. The Bekins’ moving team can take it all on for you with our packing services.
• Moving Supplies. If you prefer to do it yourself, get high-quality packing materials for all your belongings.
• Storage. Bekins Van Lines offers several storage options to help with your move. If you’re an older adult who is moving into assisted living, you may need extra storage to hold some of your belongings, for example.
• Specialty Items. When you move as an older adult, you have a lifetime of items to take with you—many of these belongings likely have high sentimental or financial value. Bekins has experience moving instruments, art, cumbersome and heavy belongings, and more.

The Upside of Downsizing

Preparing for a move is about more than just gathering and packing your stuff… It’s about growth and new beginnings. There’s a good chance you (or your aging parents) will need to do some downsizing before moving to the new home.

Moving Assistance for Seniors: Trustworthy Movers are Essential for a Worry-Free Relocation Experience.

Many of our Bekins Van Lines agents are Silver Certified, which means they have participated in specialty training for moving older adults. If you’re moving as an older adult (or you’re helping your aging parents coordinate a move), there’s a good chance you have more belongings, items of higher value, physical limitations and possibly even emotional challenges to consider than you would planning a move for a young adult.

Bekins is one of the oldest moving companies in the U.S. Our expertise and dedication to our customers is what has allowed us to last and thrive for more than 130 years. The Silver Certified Program, which is endorsed by the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM), adds an additional layer of trust to your local Bekins agent. You can always count on Bekins to provide moving services that will take your move from stressful to successful.

We have a deep understanding of the need for specialized care of our older adult customers. That’s why we work directly with companies like Erickson Senior Living. Together, we can lighten the load of stress that moving can often cause on older adults. Read more about our proven success with Erickson Senior Living.
