Phoenix Senior Movers Who Plan the New Rooms First

Senior movers in Phoenix do their most useful work before the truck arrives. We sit down with you, and with family if you like, to decide what fits the new home and what goes to relatives, donation or storage. Then each piece gets a spot on the new floor plan, so nothing is carried in twice.

Senior Moving Rates

What a Senior Move in Phoenix Costs

Senior moves in Phoenix are billed by the hour for the movers and the truck, at the rates below. Downsizing often lowers the bill, since fewer pieces make the trip to the new home.

Your total depends on how much is moving, the stairs or elevators at each address, whether the truck stops at a relative’s home on the way and the drive across the Valley.

Movers and truck
Good for
Starting rate
2 movers, 1 truck
Studio, 1 bedroom or small office
from $190/hr
3 movers, 1 truck
Large 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom home
from $230/hr
4 movers, 1 truck
3 bedroom home or larger office
from $290/hr

Each local move has a 3-hour minimum, and drive time is billed too. Moving pads, shrink wrap, dollies and bed disassembly are part of the rate. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, extra valuation and storage are billed on their own lines.

Five Steps From the Family Home to the New Residence

This is the order most senior moves follow, from the first family talk to the last lamp switched on.

Your progress0 of 5
1

Talk It Through

We meet with you and any family helpers to learn about the new home, the date and what matters most.

2

Sort and Decide

You choose what moves, what goes to family and what goes to storage. We work from that list.

3

Map the New Rooms

Furniture is matched to the new floor plan so every piece has a place before it leaves.

4

Pack and Move

Our movers pad and load the furniture you chose, and packers can box the rest.

5

Set Up the Home

Beds go back together, chairs and lamps are placed and the path through each room stays clear.

Sun City Zoning Rules That Shape What Moves With You

Maricopa County’s Senior Citizen Overlay zoning sets the rules in age-restricted unincorporated communities such as Sun City and Sun City West. Each occupied home needs at least one resident 55 or older, residents 18 and under may stay only for a limited time, and buildings top out at two stories unless they have elevators.

For your move, that means planning furniture for a home of one or two floors, with any stairs and elevators noted before the date.

Assisted Living Homes Versus Assisted Living Centers

Arizona law, A.R.S. 36-401, calls a facility with 10 or fewer residents an assisted living home and one with 11 or more an assisted living center. A home is often a house with one bedroom per resident. A center usually offers apartments. Ask the facility for room measurements, and we will plan which pieces fit.

Words From Families Who Moved a Parent With Us

Older customers and their families describe their moves on Google.

Tama McBride

As a senior, moving is terrifying when you aren’t able to do things yourself. Talking with various moving companies it was easy to determine who just wanted to slap stuff together and move it out, from a company that listens and understands your issues. I was able to find this company! They mean it when they tell you ‘we got this’. Their pricing is honest and fair. Mine is a 2 part move and we’ve done the first part. Yay!

Micah Brown

Moved my mom from fountain hills to Mesa without issue. Timely and very kind and friendly.

Jason Manning

Used Mentors for a second time recently and the experience was just as good as the first. These guys are careful, courteous, and do the job right. We have used them twice to move my elderly parents. Both times they were patient, careful, and respectful. We will use Mentors again should the need arise.

Senior Moves in Surprise, Peoria, Mesa and Chandler

We move older adults between houses, apartments and senior living communities in these West Valley and East Valley cities. Each page covers moving in that area.

Help We Give Before, During and After Move Day

Downsizing Plan

We go room by room with you and mark what moves, what stays with family and what goes to storage.

Floor Plan Placement

Each chosen piece is assigned a place in the new rooms, so movers set it down once.

Careful Packing

Packers wrap dishes, photos and keepsakes and label each carton with the room it belongs in.

Beds Put Back Together

Beds are taken apart, moved and rebuilt so the first night is spent in a familiar bed.

Family Updates

Relatives can call our Tempe office on move day to hear where the truck is and what is left.

Storage for Keepsakes

Pieces meant for grandchildren or a later decision can go into storage instead of a crowded closet.
