A seniors moving team West Vancouver families rely on

West Vancouver is home to many longtime residents who have spent decades in the same hillside home — in the British Properties, Altamont, or Caulfeild — often with the views that drew them there in the first place. The same hills that make the views make moving harder. 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 in Ambleside or Dundarave 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.

What’s included in a West Vancouver senior move

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

Downsizing Decisions

We help sort what stays and what goes — room by room, at your pace, with a clear plan for every item.

Full Clear-Out

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

Packing & Protection

Careful packing for fragile items, artwork, photos, and keepsakes.

Move Day Coordination

Protection, loading, transport across West Vancouver, and placing items where they belong.

Unpack & Set Up

Full setup so the new home feels lived-in from day one — beds made, kitchen ready, artwork hung.

Family Alignment

Clear updates so family members near and far stay informed — including out-of-town family.

Moving in West Vancouver comes with its own logistics

View homes on steep hillsides, village condos by the water — West Vancouver moves take careful planning. We do it for you.

Hillside & view properties

British Properties and Altamont mean steep, winding driveways and multi-level homes. We assess access early and stage the move so nothing is rushed.

Larger homes, decades of belongings

Bigger homes hold more history. We sort room by room at your pace, and handle selling, donating, or storing whatever isn’t coming along.

Ambleside & Dundarave condos

Buildings near the waterfront 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.

West Vancouver seniors moving FAQs

Do you serve all of West Vancouver?

Yes. We help seniors and families move throughout West Vancouver — Ambleside, Dundarave, British Properties, Sentinel Hill, Hollyburn, Altamont, Caulfeild, and more — as well as the rest of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Our parents’ home is up a steep West Vancouver driveway — is that a problem?

Not at all. Steep, winding driveways are part of moving in West Vancouver. We assess access at the consultation, position the truck safely, and stage the move so the hill never becomes your family’s problem.

Can you move my parent into a seniors’ community in West Vancouver?

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 West Vancouver — 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 West Vancouver 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.
