A seniors moving team New Westminster families rely on

New Westminster is one of BC’s oldest cities, and many of the seniors we help here have spent decades in the same home — a heritage house in Queen’s Park, a family home in Glenbrooke North or Sapperton, an apartment uptown. Leaving a home like that is about far more than boxes. That’s why we keep everything in-house: the same caring team you meet at the consultation is the team that sorts, packs, moves, and sets up the new home.

We regularly help families move a parent into independent living, assisted living, and long-term care communities, and we know the move-in procedures these residences expect. Downsizing to a condo at the Quay or uptown instead? We’ll plan around your building’s strata rules and elevator booking — and if the move is still a ways off, our downsizing and estate transition services can help you get started at your own pace.

A full transition service, tailored to your situation, timeline, and what feels manageable.

Items not coming along can be sold, donated to local charities, or responsibly disposed of — we handle all of it.

Moving in New Westminster comes with its own logistics

A hillside city of heritage homes and riverside towers — New Westminster moves take real planning. We do it for you.

Heritage homes

Queen’s Park and Glenbrooke homes come with narrow staircases, original millwork, and tight hallways. We protect every surface and take the time these homes deserve.

Steep streets

Much of the city climbs from the Fraser. We plan truck position and access on the hills before move day, not during it.

Quayside & uptown towers

Condo buildings at the Quay and uptown require elevator bookings and move-in windows — we arrange them ahead of time.

Donation & consignment runs

Items that aren’t coming along go where they should — we handle donation drop-offs and disposal runs as part of the move.

What Families Are Saying

Real reviews from real families across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Paula D

I had to move my mother from her independent living suite to a new long-term care home, where she was able to take some of her own furniture. Garrett and Nick of Get Started Home Services were fabulous! They were exceptionally polite, personable, and professional. They moved my mom’s living-room furniture into her new sitting room, making sure that everything fit. I highly recommend Get Started Home Services and would gladly hire them again.

Thomas Sherwood

The most friendly and personal movers I have ever dealt with. They helped move my elder father into his care home last year and we just used them to move into our new home. I will be recommending all family and friends to these guys! Thank you so much.

Tammy Poirer

Get Started Home Services was a lifesaver for me. We had to move my dad into a care facility and then clear out 18+ years’ worth of “stuff”, then downsize me from a large home to a condo. Dawn, Garrett and their team were absolutely amazing throughout all of it. Their patience and professionalism are second to none.

New Westminster seniors moving FAQs

Do you serve all of New Westminster?

Yes. We help seniors and families move throughout New Westminster — Queen’s Park, Uptown, Downtown, Quayside, Sapperton, Glenbrooke North, West End, and more — as well as the rest of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Can you move us out of a heritage home safely?

Yes. Queen’s Park and other older New Westminster homes have narrow staircases, original woodwork, and tight corners. We protect floors, walls, and trim throughout, and pack fragile and sentimental items with extra care.

Can you move my parent into a seniors’ community in New Westminster?

Absolutely. We regularly help families move a parent into independent living, assisted living, and long-term care communities, and we are familiar with the move-in procedures, loading areas, and elevator scheduling these residences use.

Do you handle the downsizing and clear-out too?

Yes. We sort room by room with you, then sell, donate, or responsibly dispose of whatever is not coming along — and we can get the old home clean and ready for sale afterward.

We don’t live in New Westminster — can you manage our parent’s move for us?

Yes, this is one of the most common situations we help with. Many of our clients’ adult children live in another city or province. We keep you informed at every step, from the first consultation through to photos of the finished new home.

How much does a senior move in New Westminster cost?

It depends on the size of the home, how much downsizing is involved, and which services you need. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation and a clear written estimate so you know what to expect before anything begins.

Are you a moving company or a coordinator?

We are a full-service seniors moving company — our own in-house team handles everything from planning to the physical move to setup. We do not subcontract your move to an outside crew.
