Our Senior Moving Services

Packing, loading, transport, and setup at the new home. Furniture, appliances, clothing, personal items. we handle every step from packing to setup so you and your family can focus on the transition itself.

2. Professional Packing

Our packers carefully wrap everything: dishes, keepsakes, books, framed photos, and clothing. Each item receives the right kind of protection. Unpacking service available at the new home, so your parent walks into a space that already feels settled.

5. Estate and Remote-Coordinated Moves

Coordinating from out of province or out of country? We work directly with adult children, executors, or care facilities to plan and execute the move, even when no one is on site. Phone consultation available before, during, and after the process.

6. Long-Distance Moving

Moving to another region of Quebec, to Ontario, or to the Maritimes. Fixed quote based on the full assessment. no surprises at delivery.

How Our Senior Move Process Works

1. Phone Consultation and Assessment

We begin with a phone consultation to understand your situation: the senior's home, the destination, the timing, and any concerns. We then assess the volume, the type of dwelling, the access constraints, and the destination requirements. Photos through our online form let us provide a fast quote. For larger moves, an on-site visit is available.

2. Planning and Family Coordination

We coordinate the date with the family and, when needed, directly with the retirement residence or building manager. The more information we have ahead of time. fragile items, oversized furniture, access constraints. the smoother moving day will be. Our coordinator stays in touch in real time through every step.

3. Packing and Surface Protection

On moving day, our crew carefully packs items, protects large items with padded blankets, and installs floor protection to avoid any damage to floors and hallways. We handle everything with the care your family expects.

4. Loading and Transport

Secure loading into our 20 to 30 foot trucks, with strapping and padding. Everything is positioned and protected to prevent damage during transit.

5. Setup at the New Home

We place each piece exactly where you want it in the new home. We reassemble anything that was taken apart. We ensure everything is in order before we leave. so your senior can settle in without facing a stressful task on day one.

How to Prepare for a Senior Move

1
 

Begin with a decluttering checklist

Decide which furniture and personal belongings will go to the new home. If you are moving to a smaller space, our organizing service can help you through this step without judgment.

2
 

Share your priorities with the team 

Fragile items, rooms to empty first, access constraints. Make sure to mention these during the booking call so we can plan around them. 

3
 

Confirm access at the destination

Entry code, floor, reserved parking, elevator if needed. If it is a retirement residence, DMAX can coordinate directly with the staff when you let us know in advance.

4
 

Clear the passageways

Hallways, entrance, stairs. The clearer the access, the faster and safer the move goes.

5
 

In winter: shovel and de-ice the entrance

The entrance and the path to the truck must be cleared before our arrival.
