Patient, Compassionate Help Every Step of the Way
Senior Moving & Downsizing Services
Moving later in life — whether downsizing to a smaller home or transitioning to a senior or assisted-living community — deserves extra patience, respect, and care. As a fourth-generation family business, Stratton and Sons understands that these moves are about more than furniture; they are about a lifetime of memories. We move at your pace and treat every family like our own.
A Calmer, Unhurried Approach
Senior moves are rarely about speed. We take the time to walk through the home, talk through what is moving and what is not, and plan around your comfort and schedule. Our crews are courteous, patient, and used to working alongside family members and care coordinators. We handle the heavy lifting — furniture disassembly and reassembly, careful padding and wrapping, and thoughtful placement in the new home — so you can focus on the transition itself rather than the logistics.
Downsizing & Floor-Planning Help
Moving from a long-time family home into a smaller residence or community often means deciding what fits and what does not. We can help measure and plan which pieces will work in the new space, coordinate the careful handling of treasured items, and arrange secure storage for belongings the family wants to keep but cannot take right away. Professional packing is available as an add-on, with extra care for fragile keepsakes, photo albums, and collections.
Coordinating with Family & Communities
Many senior moves involve adult children, care managers, or the move-in requirements of a retirement or assisted-living community. We are glad to coordinate directly with everyone involved and to work within a community’s designated move-in windows. Please note that securing any required reservations, parking, and elevator access at the community is arranged by the family or community — we will plan our crew and timing around whatever access is provided.
