Senior Movers in Greater Sacramento

The cost of a senior move varies based on several factors. MoveBuddha suggests, “The typical cost for hiring movers in Sacramento is $130 per hour, with the total cost to move ranging from $449 to $4,259, on average.” However, a senior move requires special assistance, which often influences the price. Other factors to consider are the distance of the move, the number of household items that need to be transported, and any additional services, such as the careful packing and handling of antiques and high-value possessions.

At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, we’re committed to providing customized estimates for senior moves to fit individual needs and budgets. Our team carefully evaluates your situation to recommend the best services while remaining cost-effective. “Since 1973, we have been committed to honest and timely moving services with clear and fair pricing,” says our owner, Josh Tracy.

Moving companies with experience in senior relocations understand the unique emotional and logistical challenges these moves can bring. “Senior moving companies offer flexible services from which to choose, like help with selling your house, finding a new home, downsizing, and selling belongings you won’t take to the new location,” highlights retirementliving.com. Senior relocation specialists also coordinate with senior living facilities to simplify the moving process. Regardless of your destination, experienced senior movers always bring a compassionate, patient approach to help ease the stress for older adults and their families.

At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, we’ve helped many older adults transition to their next chapter with care and expertise. As an interstate agent for Bekins Van Lines, we have over 130 years of experience managing senior relocations, ensuring that every step of the moving process is handled with professionalism and empathy. “Helping seniors move begins with compassion and patience,” explains our Move Manager, Marrissa Berry, “This means working closely with them to ease the process every step of the way.” 

Many senior moving companies offer downsizing and decluttering services as part of their moving packages. These services help seniors reduce their belongings, ensuring they only take what’s necessary and meaningful to their new home. “These specialists help you organize the things you want or need to keep and sell or properly dispose of the clutter. Decluttering is especially useful for those moving from, say a 2,000 square foot home to a 1,000 square foot room.” Retirementliving.com notes. Downsizing services can also include assistance in sorting through items, packing keepsakes, and arranging for donations or recycling unneeded possessions. 

Moving isn’t just about changing locations—it’s about embracing new beginnings. Downsizing can be an emotional and overwhelming process, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Our team at Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage can help you sort through your belongings with care and provide storage solutions for items you’re not ready to part with.“We train our movers to work closely with seniors and their families to narrow down what items they need and what should be discarded,” highlights our President, Josh Tracy.

Packing and unpacking are essential services offered by most senior moving companies. These solutions are especially beneficial for older adults, as they reduce the physical strain and time required to prepare for the move. According to Forbes, “Many senior movers provide full-service packing and unpacking, using high-quality materials to ensure your items are secure.” Movers who are experienced in conducting senior relocations are experts at ensuring each possession is carefully boxed up and safeguarded from start to finish.

At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, we offer comprehensive packing and unpacking services to make your move easier. Our team carefully boxes up your items, paying close attention to fragile and sentimental belongings. Once you’re in your new home, we’ll unpack and set everything up so you can settle in comfortably and quickly. “Our unpacking services are designed to save you time and effort so you can focus on enjoying your new space,” emphasizes our owner, Josh Tracy.

According to retirementliving.com, “Some senior moving services work hand-in-hand with assisted living communities to ease the transition for new residents and current residents looking to relocate within the community.” Professional movers often coordinate with staff to ensure the move complies with scheduling, elevator use, and parking restrictions. Specialized movers also understand the sensitive nature of these moves and aim to make the experience as seamless as possible.

At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, we work extensively with senior living communities in the Greater Sacramento area to ensure the transition goes smoothly. Our current partnership with Erikson Senior Living and other senior-focused organizations is a testament to our commitment to navigating the unique logistics and challenges that come with moving to a senior living facility. We coordinate with community staff to manage all details, giving you one less thing to worry about during the transition. “Ensuring our senior customers settle comfortably into their new assisted living center means working closely with the staff on scheduling and meeting the older adult’s specialized needs,” affirms our Move Manager, Marrissa Berry.

Senior movers prioritize safety to protect both the customer and their belongings. This includes using the proper equipment to lift heavy items, padding and securing furniture during transit and taking extra care with fragile or high-value possessions. “Protective padding is key when moving antiques and delicate items,” says Move.org, “[Moving companies] wrap your valuables in moving blankets, bubble wrap, or packing paper to prevent scratches and chips.” Experienced movers also pay attention to minimizing trip hazards and other risks during the packing and moving process.

At Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage, safety is a top priority in every move we handle. We use the latest equipment and techniques to safeguard your belongings throughout the move. Our trained professionals are attentive to details like protecting floors and walls and creating a clear, hazard-free path during the moving process. “We understand the importance of keeping your loved one’s valuables safe during the move, which is why our expert movers have mastered the art of careful handling for a range of items,” states our owner, Josh Tracy.

Greater Sacramento moving companies that specialize in senior relocations should hold certifications and maintain partnerships that reflect their understanding of the unique needs of older adults. One of the most respected designations is the Silver Certified Movers certification from the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM). According to the official NASMM website, “Prior to obtaining full General Membership, all NASMM members must take and pass our Cornerstone Course in Senior Move Management Ethics and Accountability. Additionally, all NASMM members must sign and abide by the NASMM Code of Ethics and submit to oversight and guidance from the NASMM Ethics Compliance Commission (NECC).” This kind of accountability ensures moving companies have received proper training and are committed to prioritizing the safety and well-being of older adults throughout the transition.

At Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage, we take senior moving seriously. Many Bekins Van Lines agents, including us, are Silver Certified, meaning we have undergone specialized training to understand the unique needs of older adults during the moving process.
