A Compassionate Senior Moving Service in Boca Raton & Delray Beach

How to Prepare for a Move Later in Life

Here’s where we get practical. If you or a loved one is preparing for a move, don’t wait until the last week to start. 

Begin by comparing your current space with your new one, especially if you’re going from a home to a condo or into assisted living. That change in square footage is your starting point.

Then ask yourself:

• What furniture will realistically fit?
• Are you hanging on to things “just in case” that no longer serve you?
• Which items carry real sentimental value?

Geniza suggests using the “One-Touch Rule”:

“Pick something up—decide right then: keep, donate, or gift it to someone. Take it slow. The memories stay with you even if the items don’t.”

For donations, places like Habitat for Humanity ReStore are a great local option. They’ll even pick up. Several charities in the area also accept clothing, household items, and furniture, and yes, donations are tax-deductible.

Real Moves, Real Stories

In December, Mr. Bergman asked us to move his mother into a care facility in Delray Beach. A few months later, we moved her again into a different one that better met her needs. 

Why did he call us back and leave a 5-star Google review?

Because we didn’t just show up with a truck.

We coordinated with the facility, arranged elevator reservations, managed the gate codes, and made sure his mom felt comfortable from start to finish. Everything was labeled clearly. Nothing was lost or broken. 

That’s what being a moving company for seniors really looks like.

We’ve also completed countless moves in places like Kings Point, Century Village, and Boca Pointe, where we’ve built great relationships with front desks, HOAs, and assisted living staff. 

They know us. They trust us. That makes everything easier for you.

Moving Day Starts Weeks Before

Start early.

Recruit family and friends to help with sorting and packing. Begin with things you don’t use daily—holiday decorations, winter clothes, formal china.

Label each box clearly.

Use paper plates and plastic utensils a few days before your move so your kitchen can be packed up entirely.

Or better yet, let us do it for you.

“We have professional packers who treat every item like it belongs to their own grandmother,” Geniza says. “Photos, heirlooms, fragile art—we’ve seen it all, and we take real care with every piece.”

On the logistics side, don’t forget the red tape:

• Contact your current and new HOA.
• Let the gatehouse know we’re coming.
• Find out if you need to reserve an elevator.
• Ask where the moving truck can park.

We’re happy to call and confirm all of this on your behalf. Just give us the contact info, and we’ll handle the rest.

Why We’re the Right Choice in Boca and Delray

We’re not a national chain sending in random guys with a van. We’re local. We know these towns, and we know what matters to our local clients.

As a Boca Raton moving company, we’ve moved residents from Woodfield Country Club to Verde Trail and back again. Our team has helped seniors relocate from high-rise condos to assisted living units—and in some cases, from one wing of Century Village to another.

We offer packing, labeling, coordination, and full move-in setup.

We’re also the Boca Raton movers that caregivers and senior communities recommend.

Final Tips for a Smooth Move

• Don’t wait until the last minute. Give yourself time to decide what stays and what goes.
• Use small boxes. Easier to carry, easier to unpack.
• Keep a “moving day bag” with medications, chargers, toiletries, and paperwork.
• Ask for help. This isn’t a DIY moment.
• Trust a senior moving service that gets it—emotionally and logistically.

Whether you’re planning a Delray Beach moving project or a local move just a few blocks in Boca, we’ve got it handled.

We’ve moved couples who’ve lived in their homes for 40 years. We’ve helped widows settle into care homes after a spouse has passed. And we’ve done it all with compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail.
