Why families choose Next Phase for senior moves
Senior moves are emotionally and logistically different from a typical move. Decades of belongings, narrow assisted-living doorways, family members organizing remotely, and the need for an unhurried pace all matter. Our crews are trained to slow down, ask before packing, and label clearly so unpacking at the new home is calm. We coordinate elevator reservations, certificate-of-insurance requests, and arrival windows directly with the facility so your family doesn't have to chase the details.
What's included
Pre-move walkthrough (in person or by video). Furniture pads and stretch wrap on everything. Disassembly and reassembly of beds, dressers, and tables. Floor and door-frame protection. Direct delivery to the new home — assisted living, independent living, or family member's house. Optional unpacking and furniture placement so the new home is move-in ready.
Where we serve seniors
We move seniors across Greater Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Lakewood, Everett, and every Washington city in between. We regularly work in Era Living, Aegis Living, Brookdale, MorningStar, Merrill Gardens, and most major retirement communities in the Puget Sound region.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a senior move cost?
Cost depends on the size of the home, distance, and whether you'd like packing. We quote every job in advance with no surprises. Call (425) 648-7887 for a same-day estimate.
Do you help with downsizing?
Yes. We can move items to multiple destinations in one trip — for example, kept items to the new home, family heirlooms to relatives, and donations to charity drop-off — so downsizing happens with the move, not before it.
Will the crew be patient with my mom/dad?
Yes. We train every crew lead on senior-move etiquette: ask before packing emotional items, work at the pace of the person, and never rush a goodbye walk through the old home.
Can you coordinate directly with the retirement community?
Yes. We routinely handle elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, arrival windows, and any move-in paperwork the facility requires.
Do you move into Era Living, Aegis, Brookdale, and other Puget Sound retirement communities?
Yes — we move into virtually every retirement and assisted-living community in Greater Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia.
Can family members coordinate the move from out of state?
Yes. Many of our senior moves are organized by adult children in California, Texas, or the East Coast. We can do video walkthroughs, send written estimates by email, and provide updates by text on move day.
Do you pack for senior moves?
Yes. We offer full or partial packing. Some families pack treasured items themselves and have us pack the kitchen and miscellaneous rooms.
How early should I book a senior move?
Two to four weeks of lead time is comfortable. We can often accommodate moves with as little as 48–72 hours notice, especially mid-week and outside peak summer dates.
Are you licensed and insured for moves into assisted living?
Yes. Next Phase Moving is licensed and insured in Washington State, and we can send a certificate of insurance directly to the facility.
What if my parent has limited mobility on move day?
We handle everything physical. The senior can sit comfortably or step out for the day; we'll pack, load, transport, unload, and place furniture exactly where it goes in the new home.
Do you reassemble beds and place furniture?
Yes. Bed assembly, dresser placement, and basic furniture setup are included. We can also hang mirrors and set up the TV on request.
