Helping a parent downsize from a longtime North Vancouver home or move into a seniors’ community? Our team manages the whole transition in-house — downsizing, packing, the move itself, and setting up the new home — so your family can focus on each other. From Lynn Valley’s mountainside streets to Lower Lonsdale’s towers, we handle the logistics North Shore moves come with.
Many of the seniors we help on the North Shore have spent decades in the same home — a family house in Lynn Valley or Upper Lonsdale, a home near Edgemont Village, a split-level on a mountainside street. 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 serve both the City and District of North Vancouver, and we regularly help families move a parent into independent living, assisted living, and long-term care communities. Downsizing to a condo in Lower or Central Lonsdale 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.
We help sort what stays and what goes — room by room, at your pace, with a clear plan for every item.
Items not coming along can be sold, donated to local charities, or responsibly disposed of — we handle all of it.
Careful packing for fragile items, artwork, photos, and keepsakes.
Protection, loading, transport across North Vancouver, and placing items where they belong.
Full setup so the new home feels lived-in from day one — beds made, kitchen ready, artwork hung.
Clear updates so family members near and far stay informed — including out-of-town family.
The North Shore’s slopes are part of its charm — and part of what makes moving here different. We plan for it.
Steep driveways, multi-level splits, and stairs to the front door are everyday things here. We stage the move so slopes and stairs are handled carefully.
Lower and Central Lonsdale high-rises require elevator bookings, loading bays, and strata rules — we arrange it all ahead of time.
Lynn Valley, Edgemont, and Upper Lonsdale homes often hold decades of belongings. We sort, clear out, and pack at your pace.
Items that aren’t coming along go where they should — we handle donation drop-offs and disposal runs as part of the move.
We provide seniors moving services throughout the area, including:
Don’t see your neighbourhood? Just ask — we serve all of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
A clear process reduces stress. We keep it simple, steady, and organized.
We learn your timeline, priorities, and constraints — then map a practical plan, free of charge.
Room-by-room sorting, clear-out of remaining items, and careful packing so nothing is lost or rushed.
We handle move day across North Vancouver, unpacking, and setup so the new home feels like home right away.

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.

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.

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.

Yes — both, from Lower Lonsdale to Deep Cove. Wherever your family is moving from or to, the same in-house team handles the whole transition.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Free, practical reading if you’re just starting to plan.
A room-by-room plan for deciding what stays, what goes, and where it all goes.
