Can you move someone into a care home?
Yes. A care home move is a small, careful job done at the resident's pace: familiar furniture, photographs and clothing moved into the room and set up as requested. An industry guide is £180–£450, while clearance or cleaning of the old property is quoted separately.

What it is
The slowest job we do, deliberately.
A move into a care home is not a logistics problem. It is usually a hard day for a family, decided quickly, with sixty years of belongings and a room that fits a fraction of them. The work is mostly patience: letting someone decide what comes, not hurrying them past the photographs, and making the new room look like theirs before we leave.
We will help sort what goes, what returns to family and what needs clearing, and we will take a second trip rather than pressure anyone into deciding on the spot. The armchair goes where they point. The bed is made up. The pictures go on the wall the same day, because an unfamiliar room with bare walls is the bit people find hardest.
What's included
- Unhurried pace — the day runs to their speed, not ours
- Help sorting what comes, what goes to family, what is cleared
- Furniture set up and arranged in the new room, not stacked
- Pictures hung and the bed made before we leave
- Separate drops to relatives' addresses in the same run
- Clearance and a clean of the property being left, if needed
Common signs
How families usually find us
A place has come up quickly
A room available at short notice and a week to organise everything.
Downsizing from the family home
A four-bed house reduced to one room, with decisions at every step.
Moving between homes
Changing care provider, or moving closer to family in another county.
Clearing the old property
The house has to be emptied and cleaned for sale or handover.
How we work
Simple, honest, sorted.
Quote
Usually a phone call with a son or daughter rather than a video walk-round. We agree what is moving and what happens to the rest.
Move day
We arrive early, work quietly and slowly, and check before anything leaves the house rather than after.
Settle the room
Furniture arranged how they want it, bed made, pictures up. Then, if you have asked, we go back and clear the old property.
We carry out care home moves across Basingstoke, Reading, Winchester and the wider Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire area — and nationwide when the job takes us further.
Reassurance
Total peace of mind
Fully insured
Cover is in place before anything is loaded. Ask and we will send the certificate.
Fixed, free quotes
No obligation, no pressure, and the number we agree is the number you pay.
Careful by default
Wrapping, padding and straps are part of the job, not an upsell on the day.
Left tidy
Packaging taken away and the space swept, whichever service you booked.
Honest answers
Care home moves questions
Yes — most homes have delivery windows, lift restrictions and a nominated entrance. Give us the manager's contact when you book and we will arrange the timing directly with them.
Whatever the family wants. We can drop items to relatives on the same run, take them to storage, or clear them entirely. It is agreed before the day so nobody has to decide in a corridor.
We can do both as one booking, which saves the family finding a separate clearance firm and a separate cleaner at a difficult time.
