Moving into an assisted living facility isn’t just another move. It’s emotional, sensitive, and usually time-sensitive. The last thing you want to worry about is whether the movers are going to treat your loved one’s belongings—and the situation itself—with the care it deserves.

That’s where AB Moving & Storage comes in.

What Makes Assisted Living Moves Different?

This kind of move is often about downsizing. You’re not just packing boxes; you’re helping someone transition into a new chapter of life—one with a lot less space. Most assisted living rooms can’t hold everything from a three-bedroom house, so the process includes sorting, deciding what to keep, and figuring out where everything else goes.

It’s a lot. And doing it without professional help can quickly become overwhelming.

AB Moving & Storage has helped thousands of families across Dallas handle this type of move with care, flexibility, and a lot of patience. Whether it’s just one room or an entire home, they’re used to working around health-related concerns, tight schedules, and even coordinating with facility management to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Services You Can Expect

Every family’s needs are a little different, but here’s what’s typically included in an assisted living move with AB Moving:

  • Packing and Unpacking: Full-service or partial, depending on what you need. If you’d rather pack certain personal items yourself, they’ll handle the rest.
  • Furniture Disassembly/Reassembly: Especially helpful for beds, dressers, or anything bulky.
  • Storage Solutions: Not everything fits in the new place. AB can help with short- or long-term storage if you’re not ready to part with furniture or keepsakes.
  • Multiple Delivery Locations: Need to send one piece of furniture to your house, a few boxes to your sister, and the rest to storage? No problem.
  • Senior-Friendly Team: Their movers are trained to be courteous, patient, and efficient. They understand that this isn’t just another move—it’s personal.

They’ll also work directly with the assisted living facility to make sure all logistics are covered—like elevator use, restricted hours, or special parking instructions.

How Much Does It Cost?

Costs will depend on a few things:

  • How much you’re moving
  • How far the move is
  • Whether you need packing or storage
  • Any special requirements (multiple stops, heavy furniture, stairs, etc.)

But to give you a rough ballpark, local assisted living moves in Dallas typically start around $400–$700 for a small apartment-size move. Full packing and storage services will add more, but AB offers upfront pricing and free estimates, so there are no surprises.

If you’re working within a budget, let them know. They’re used to helping families figure out how to prioritize the must-haves.

This kind of move can be hard on everyone involved, and no moving company is going to take that emotional weight off your shoulders—but AB Moving & Storage gets it. They’ve been doing this for over 29 years, and they show up ready to help—not just move boxes.
