Retirement and Aged Care Relocation - Downsizing Home Services

Retirement and Aged Care Relocation Services

Relocating to a new home can bring up many emotions, especially for seniors leaving behind a place filled with memories and comfort. Many face difficulties like sorting through years of belongings and deciding what to keep and what to dispose of. The physical aspects of moving can also be a challenge, from packing and organising to the logistics of the move itself.

At Care to Move, we understand these unique hurdles. With our personalised retirement and aged care relocation service, we ensure a smooth and stress-free relocation process. Our dedicated team is here to help with moving to aged care by managing tasks such as decluttering, downsizing, organising waste, arranging cleaning and maintenance, and more.

With our quality service, let us support you or your loved ones in the moving process.

How We Help You Transition to Aged Care or Retirement Homes

Our compassionate team creates personalised plans customised to your unique needs, whether you require assistance with the entire moving process or just specific aspects. Check out our services to see how we can help you move into aged care or retirement homes.

Decluttering and Downsizing for Retirement

One of the most difficult tasks for seniors is sorting through belongings that have been gathered over the years. Our team provides house clearance services and guides you in deciding what to keep or discard to lighten your load and create space for new beginnings.

Organising Waste and Donations

It’s important to organise what’s left over after getting rid of clutter. We help you manage your trash and donations so that the things you no longer need are disposed of responsibly. By donating your items to recycling centres or charities, we make sure you can positively impact your community with recycling, reusing and repurposing household items.

Finding Storage and Movers

As you will be downsizing your home, there may be items you’re not ready to part with or need to store temporarily. We help you find reliable storage solutions that fit your needs, whether for short-term or long-term safekeeping. Our trusted movers make the process easier for seniors by handling mobility concerns and managing specific needs, such as medical equipment and fragile items.

Arranging Cleaning and Maintenance

Our team arranges all cleaning and maintenance services for both your old and new homes, allowing you to focus on the move without stressing over these details. When moving out of a long-time residence, ensuring the home is left clean and in good condition is often necessary, especially for selling or returning a rental. Likewise, moving into a new space requires thorough cleaning and possible maintenance to make it a comfortable and safe environment.

Helping with Settling In and Unpacking

Once you arrive at your new home, we don’t just leave you to figure things out on your own. Our team is here to assist with settling in by helping you unpack, organise your new space, and set up everything just the way you like it.
