Senior Moving Assistance

Move Forward With the Care You Deserve

Moving later in life is rarely just about changing addresses. From long distance moves as a senior to local ones, it often follows an important life decision: downsizing, moving closer to family, or stepping into a new kind of independence. These moments matter, and they deserve care, patience, and thoughtful guidance.

It’s natural for questions and concerns to surface along the way. You may be wondering how to make the right choices, how to stay organized, or how to make sure everything is handled with the respect it deserves. Family members often share those same concerns, wanting reassurance that you’re supported and in good hands with your senior moving company.

For decades, Wheaton World Wide has helped people navigate long distance moves during some of life’s biggest transitions. As a Silver Certified partner through the National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers (NASMM), we bring an added level of understanding and accountability to moves involving older adults and their families.

Because this isn’t just about moving belongings. At Wheaton, we move your life—and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

What People are Saying About Wheaton

I used Wheaton to move my mother from Florida to Maryland and the move involved two stops and a lot of logistics to coordinate. Wheaton was exceptional every step of the way, including determining an initial estimate, the packing and unpacking, scheduling loading and unloading dates and times, and the follow-up that I requested so I could be sure to be on site in all locations. The driver, Dana Caputo, was trustworthy, reliable, and professional. Overall, I give Wheaton five stars!

We had a group of four move my Mom from Oscoda, MI to Livonia, MI. They did a great job (Mike, Chad, Josh, Nick) I would definitely recommend this crew. They were very personable, fair and did all they could to help move my Mother quickly yet with care.

Wheaton’s Moving Services for Older Adults

Moving, for seniors, often comes with a handful of both physical and emotional strains. When you move as an older adult, there’s a good chance you’ve got more belongings and items of higher value and need more assistance with moving than when you were younger. More than just the items themselves, older adults typically move a lot of memories.

At Wheaton, we are dedicated and passionate about providing you, or the older adults in your life, with comprehensive services that’ll make this senior move as worry-free as possible. Whether the next chapter of your life is transitioning to a senior community or you need to downsize (or rightsize, rather), we’re the full service moving company you can count on for your next relocation.

Senior Moving Credentials You Can Trust

Trust matters when selecting a senior moving company. The certifications, memberships, and partnerships behind your senior mover should reflect a real commitment to care, professionalism, and accountability.

Wheaton’s involvement with respected senior-focused organizations reinforces that commitment. You’re working with a professional team that understands not only the logistics of a move, but also the unique senior moving services that older adults and their families need.

Silver Certified Moving Company for Seniors

The Silver Service Certification program is a comprehensive training program provided to our agents. Many Wheaton agents have invested the time to become Silver Certified, which means we recognize the emotional and physical challenges of moving as an older adult. Moving seniors takes a specific skill set that Wheaton agents are equipped with.

National Association of Senior Move Managers Partner

If you’re an older adult planning a move, look for the Wheaton Silver Certified logo. When you see that logo, you get the confidence of knowing that the program is endorsed by the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) and that your move is in great hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, there are moving companies that offer specialized moving services for older adults. For example, the best moving companies for seniors are Silver Certified (like many Wheaton agents). If a moving company is Silver Certified, it means they have gone through a training program for relocating older adults. If you’re an older adult looking to move or you’re looking for help moving your elderly parent, keep your eyes peeled for the Silver Certified logo.

Moving during any stage of life can be difficult. However, moving as an older adult comes with additional challenges. You can assist your loved one by sorting, packing, downsizing, and most importantly, providing emotional support. A Silver Certified moving company, like Wheaton, can help with the logistics. Learn more about how to help your elderly parents move!

Yes. Whether your parents are moving down the street or across the country, Wheaton can help. We have experience executing thousands of interstate moves, so you can be confident your loved one’s move is in good hands.

Wheaton provides both storage and packing options. Our packing services can take care of everything from wrapping fragile items to packing your entire home. This can be particularly helpful for older adults who may have difficulty with the physical aspects of packing. We offer both short-term and long-term storage solutions, which can be useful when downsizing or for temporary storage during the moving process.

The timeframe for scheduling a move can depend on a variety of factors, including the time of year and the complexity of the move. However, it is generally a good idea to reach out to a moving company at least six to eight weeks in advance of your older adult move. This allows time for planning, packing, and addressing any unexpected issues that may arise.

Older adults should look out for the following red flags to recognize and avoid rogue movers:

The mover provides a low estimate without conducting a thorough inspection of your belongings.
They demand a large deposit before the move.
The company’s website has no local address and no information about its registration or insurance.
The mover claims all items are covered by their insurance.
They use rental trucks rather than their own fleet of vehicles.

To avoid such scams, always research the moving company thoroughly. Check if they are registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), read online reviews, and ask for recommendations from trusted friends or family members.

Wheaton World Wide is committed to providing high-quality, trustworthy moving services. We are fully licensed and insured, offer detailed, transparent estimates, and do not demand large deposits before the move. Our staff is trained to work with older adults, and many of our agents are Silver Certified. Plus, we offer an array of resources to make the moving process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

You can confirm Wheaton’s credibility by verifying our licensing information with the FMCSA.

We also encourage you to read our reviews and testimonials and reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
