Senior Moving Services in Ottawa
A move into a retirement residence or a smaller condo is rarely just a move. It usually follows fifty years in the same house, and the hard part is not the truck — it is deciding what comes and what does not.
What's included
We plan these differently. A coordinator visits first, measures the new suite, and lays out on paper what will actually fit. On move day the crew works to the client's pace, not the clock. Beds are made, the TV is plugged in and the kettle is on the counter before we leave.
- Free in-home consultation and new-suite floor plan
- Sort, keep, donate and dispose support — no pressure
- Coordination with Ottawa retirement residences and their move-in rules
- Careful handling of medical equipment and mobility aids
- Full unpacking, bed made and essentials set up the same day
- Donation drop-off and responsible disposal of what stays behind
Pricing
From $150/hr, consultation free

Move day, 7am–8pm
We plan and protect
Your crew arrives inside a two-hour window, walks the home with you, lays floor runners, and blanket-wraps every piece before it leaves the room.

Same day
Placed, reassembled, done
Furniture goes where you want it, beds go back together, and boxes land in the right rooms. You sign off only once you have walked the truck and it is empty.

They moved my parents with real patience
After 41 years in the same house on Jeanne d'Arc, my parents downsized into a residence. The coordinator sat with them for two hours planning what would fit. On move day nobody rushed my mother once. Beds were made before the crew left.

Three floors, no elevator, no drama
We were on the third floor of a walk-up on Churchill with a piano landing that has defeated two previous movers. The crew looked at it, took the railing off, and had the whole apartment loaded in four hours. Final invoice came in under the estimate.

Kanata to Barrhaven in one day
Four bedrooms out of Bridlewood and into Half Moon Bay, done between 8am and 5pm. They wrapped every piece of furniture before it left the house, which I'd never seen a mover actually bother to do. Nothing was scratched.
Common questions
Senior Moving FAQ
The questions Ottawa customers ask most often about senior moving.
Still have a question?
Talk to a real move consultant in Ottawa — Mon–Sat 7am–8pm · Sun 8am–6pm.
(613) 704-7378Do you help decide what fits in the new suite?
Yes. Our coordinator measures the new residence or condo and produces a scaled floor plan showing exactly what will fit and where it will go, before anything is packed. It removes most of the stress from the decision.
Can you take away what isn't coming?
We coordinate donation drop-offs with Ottawa charities, arrange responsible disposal for what cannot be donated, and can hold items in storage for family members to collect later.
Will you set everything up at the new residence?
Yes. Beds are assembled and made, the TV and phone are plugged in, and kitchen and bathroom essentials are unpacked and put away before the crew leaves. Nobody spends their first night in a room full of boxes.
