DLM Removals and Storage

Compassionate Aged Care Furniture Transport & Senior Moving Services Australia-Wide

Moving into aged care is a big step – for residents, for families and for the facilities that support them. DLM Removals & Storage provides dedicated aged care furniture transport and senior moving services designed to make that transition as smooth and respectful as possible. Whether you are a retirement village, nursing home or a family helping a loved one move into care, our team focuses on compassionate, careful and well-planned moves.

This aged care service sits within our broader commercial offering, including commercial furniture transport for facilities, interstate removals for longer relocations and storage solutions for furniture that needs to be held during the transition. On this page, the focus is specifically on aged care relocations, retirement home removals and furniture transport for seniors.

Specialist Furniture Transport for Aged Care Facilities

Aged care and retirement facilities need a moving company that understands the environment they work in. Residents’ rooms, common areas and medical spaces must stay safe, quiet and respectful – even during furniture changeovers, refurbishments or new fit-outs. DLM works as a specialist aged care movers Australia partner for retirement villages, nursing homes and assisted living providers.

Our crews regularly handle:

  • Delivery and placement of new beds, medical recliners and lounge chairs.
  • Transport of wardrobes, bedside tables and storage units between rooms or buildings.
  • Common area set-ups including dining settings, lounge suites and outdoor furniture.
  • Furniture delivery to aged care facility during refurbishments or new wing openings.

For larger projects, such as opening a new wing or upgrading an entire facility, we can combine this service with business and facility relocations and commercial furniture logistics so your organisation has one coordinated plan for every stage of the move.

If you want to focus just on facility moves, you’ll also be able to dive deeper into dedicated pages like aged care removalists and retirement home movers as part of this aged care content cluster.

Compassionate Relocation Services for Seniors

For families, moving into aged care is rarely just a practical job – it carries a lot of emotion too. A long-time family home may be being sold, or a much-loved parent or grandparent may be leaving their own house for the first time in decades. That is why our senior relocation specialists approach every job as a compassionate moving service, not just another booking in the schedule.

Our senior furniture movers take extra time to:

  • Listen to residents and family members about what matters most to them on moving day.
  • Handle sentimental pieces – like photo frames, ornaments and keepsakes – with sensitive furniture handling.
  • Plan downsizing move for seniors so key items are prioritised in the new space.
  • Work calmly and respectfully, understanding that the day can be emotionally heavy for everyone involved.

For families who want even more support, our senior relocation services page will outline options such as additional packing help, extra time allowances and flexible scheduling to accommodate appointments or family travel.

Our goal is to be trusted compassionate removalists – people you feel comfortable having in the room with your loved ones, and confident will treat their belongings with care.

Safe Handling of Medical Equipment and Furnishings

Many aged care moves involve more than standard household furniture. Facilities often have specialised medical equipment, and residents may have mobility aids or assistive devices that must remain in good working order. DLM’s crews are trained to treat these items as critical, not optional extras.

As experienced nursing home movers and aged care removalists, we regularly handle:

  • Electric hospital beds and pressure mattresses.
  • Lift chairs, medical recliners and specialised seating.
  • Wheelchairs, walkers and other mobility aids.
  • Bedside medical equipment and small clinical devices that must remain upright and secure.

Our senior moving assistance includes careful wrapping, secure loading and clear labelling so equipment arrives at the correct room or ward. Where necessary, we can coordinate with clinical staff or facility maintenance teams to ensure items are positioned safely and ready for use.

For larger equipment rollouts, this service can also be combined with commercial furniture logistics to move bulk deliveries of beds, recliners and common area furniture into multiple facilities or locations.

Coordinating with Families and Care Homes

Good communication is at the heart of every successful aged care move. We recognise that elderly relocation assistance usually involves several stakeholders – the resident, family members, facility management and clinical staff. DLM’s team takes responsibility for coordinating the moving side, so you do not have to manage every small detail yourself.

As part of our senior moving services, we:

  • Confirm access and timing requirements with the aged care home or retirement village before the move.
  • Plan around meal times, medication rounds or quiet hours so disruption to residents is kept to a minimum.
  • Provide clear arrival windows and updates so families know when to expect the truck.
  • Work with facility staff to ensure parking, lifts and hallways are used safely and respectfully.

When an entire facility or wing is being relocated or refurbished, we can apply the same structured approach we use in business relocations, building staged plans that move residents, furniture and equipment in a controlled sequence.

Local and Interstate Relocations

Aged care moves are not always just down the road. Many retirees move to be closer to family in another city, or a facility may transfer equipment between homes in different states. DLM supports both local aged care relocations and longer assisted living relocation or retirement village relocation projects using our established interstate network.

Our business movers interstate experience flows directly into aged care, giving you:

  • Local moves within the same suburb, city or region handled by senior furniture movers who know the area.
  • Interstate moves that bundle residents’ personal belongings with larger facility deliveries.
  • Options to combine furniture transport for seniors with interstate removals & backloading for cost-effective long-distance moves.
  • Support for families coordinating from another state, with clear communication and photo updates if requested.

Whether you are moving from a family home to a nearby aged care residence, or from one state to another to be closer to loved ones, our aged care furniture transport service is built to handle the logistics while you focus on the people.

Packing and Setup for Comfort

A new room only feels like home once familiar items are in place. That is why we put so much emphasis on packing and setup for comfort as part of our senior moving assistance. The aim is simple: when the resident arrives, the space should feel welcoming, familiar and easy to settle into.

Depending on what you need, our senior relocation specialists can:

  • Carefully pack and label personal items such as clothing, books, photos and ornaments.
  • Assemble beds, side tables, recliners and other key furniture in the new room.
  • Arrange items in a similar layout to the resident’s previous home where practical, helping the new space feel familiar.
  • Coordinate with families to place important items (photos, favourite chairs, keepsakes) where they will be seen first.

If there are items that cannot move into the facility – for example, extra furniture from a downsizing move – we can store them securely using storage solutions until the family decides what to do next.

For facilities managing larger refurbishments or new builds, we can also combine this resident-focused service with commercial furniture transport, aged care removalists and retirement home movers to create a complete, low-stress moving plan for everyone involved.

However you choose to structure the move, DLM Removals & Storage aims to be the aged care movers Australia you can rely on – blending practical logistics with genuine care, so every aged care furniture move feels a little easier.
