This page is for families who are just starting to look into help with a move. Short, direct answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, please call or book a free consultation.
Sol Senior Services is a Winnipeg senior move management company, not a traditional moving company. We handle the full senior transition, sorting, downsizing, packing, moving, unpacking, and clearing out the old home, with one in house team and one point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough.
A traditional moving company shows up with a truck on move day. Sol shows up at the in home consultation, helps the family decide what is coming and what is not, and stays until the new home feels lived in.
Sol senior moves are priced as fixed, written quotes. After a free in home consultation in Winnipeg, we estimate the hours your move will take and lock the price in writing. Nothing more, nothing less.
The quote covers the services your family chooses, whether that is a full senior transition or one piece like packing or unpacking. If a job runs short, you pay the quoted price. If a job runs long, you pay the quoted price. There are no surprise add ons after the fact.
Yes. Sol Senior Services is bonded, insured, and covered by the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba.
Every Sol mover is an in house employee, in Sol uniforms, on Sol trucks, with no subcontractors at any point in your senior move. The team you meet at the consultation is the team that finishes the job.
Sol carries full moving insurance, and our Winnipeg crew treats every item like it belongs to our own family.
If something does get damaged during your move, we take full responsibility and work with you directly to make it right. No runaround, no fine print.
Most Sol senior moves take two days of crew time on site. Day one is downsizing and packing. Day two we move everything into the new home, unpack, and set it up, bed made, pictures hung, kettle plugged in.
End to end, the full senior transition usually runs one to two weeks from consultation to move in, depending on the size of the home and how much sorting is involved.
Sol can usually schedule a free in home consultation in Winnipeg within a few days, and begin the full senior transition within one to two weeks.
Because every part of the move is handled by our own in house team, with no subcontractors and no third party movers, we control our own schedule and can often move faster than families expect.
Nothing. On moving day, the Sol crew handles every step in Winnipeg, packing, loading, the move itself, unpacking, and setup, from start to finish. You are welcome to stay and watch, step out for lunch, or check in by phone.
When you walk back in, the new home will be set up and ready to live in.
Yes. Sol regularly manages senior moves in Winnipeg where the senior is no longer able to take part day to day. Adult children or a power of attorney can make the decisions, and our team works alongside the family at the pace that is right for them.
We are patient with health changes, hospital stays, and care home timelines. The plan adjusts to the family's situation, not the other way around. If it helps, we can do live video check ins along the way so out of town family stays in the loop.
This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and we take it seriously. The Sol team is trained to be patient, gentle, and present during a senior move, and we do not rush anyone.
We sit with them, listen, and move at their pace. Sometimes we laugh together over old photos. Sometimes we just slow down and let them process. We are not here to push, we are here to walk alongside your family through the transition.
Yes. Once your loved one is settled in the new home, Sol can return to handle the full clearout of the old home, sorting what is left, coordinating donations to Winnipeg charities, arranging recycling, and managing responsible disposal.
You hand us the keys and walk away knowing it is taken care of.

The first step is to book a free in home consultation. We come to your home anywhere in Winnipeg or the surrounding area, walk through it at your pace, listen to what matters, and answer any questions the family has.
There is no obligation and no pressure. Many families use the consultation simply to learn how senior move management works in Winnipeg.
Yes. Once the move is done, Sol can leave the old home ready for a realtor, a buyer, or the next family. That usually means a final broom clean, removal of leftover packing material, and a sweep of every room so nothing is left behind.
If your realtor needs more than that, we coordinate it. Deeper cleaning, carpet shampooing, window washing, minor repairs, junk removal, or staging support are all handled through Winnipeg partners we trust. Tell us what the listing needs and we will build it into the plan.
Bring your questions to a free in home consultation. We come to you, walk the home at your pace, and answer everything the family wants to ask.
