At Moving Solutions for Seniors, our passion lies in helping seniors and their families make smooth, supported transitions from one home to another. We understand that moving can be an emotional and physically demanding process, and we’re here to make it easier every step of the way. We are at the forefront of the moving and relocation industry and pride ourselves on delivering efficient and tailored services to meet the unique needs of each client.
Serving Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland, and surrounding areas, our senior move specialists provide compassionate guidance and hands-on assistance tailored to your needs. From downsizing and organizing to designing and setting up your new space, we take care of the details so you can focus on what matters most.
My name is Paula Fiander, though most of my clients know me simply as the Move Lady.
When my parents began downsizing, I helped them sort through their 2,900 sq. ft. home — and two barns — to transition into a cozy 1,000 sq. ft. home in a retirement community. Despite being organized, I quickly realized how emotionally and physically exhausting this process could be. I remember wondering, What would my parents have done if I couldn’t take time off work to help them?
That question became the inspiration behind Moving Solutions for Seniors — a service designed to support seniors and their families through every step of the moving process.
“A move, downsizing and settling into a new home can often be physically and emotionally overwhelming. We will coordinate and support you in your relocation needs.”
A move to a new home always begins with a decision. Sometimes it’s proactive — a desire for a simpler lifestyle or to be closer to family — and sometimes it’s prompted by changing health needs. Whatever the reason, there’s a moment when a senior recognizes it’s time to move forward.
At Moving Solutions for Seniors, we understand that this transition can feel overwhelming. That’s why we go beyond packing boxes — we guide seniors and their families through the entire process with compassion, care, and expertise.
Our goal is to make every move a “rightsizing” experience — one that celebrates a new chapter rather than focusing on what’s being left behind.
Thoughtful preparation sets the stage for a smooth transition. We work closely with seniors and their families — whether local or at a distance — to create a clear, organized, and personalized plan.

This is the second time that I have used Moving Solutions and I really can’t say enough wonderful things about them. Paula and her team are amazing. They are professional, efficient, creative and they handle everything that comes their way.
With almost no notice, Paula found time in her week to fit in a move to long term care. Within a few hours, her team had sorted and packed what was required and turned what was a cold like hospital like room into a cozy bed sitting room. Even the staff at the care home were impress. They knew exactly what items to bring, how to set everything up and filed the empty walls with paintings and pictures. I am so grateful to them for making this so easy.

Now that I am installed in my new home in Regency Northwood, I take great personal pleasure in writing this to you and about your Super Team. Simply put, you and your team are consummate professionals! I cannot thank you all enough for easing me through what I thought was going to be a traumatic experience. With all of the other events in my current life, I approached this impending move with a great deal of trepidation and anxiety. However, the manner in which you and the team “took over’ left me in awe and profoundly impressed at your energy and professionalism during the three stages of the move, i.e. packing, moving and unpacking, that were carried out just as you described. It went off without a hitch and with very little input required from yours truly!
It’s always gratifying to hear of an excellence and then personally experience it such as I di in this move. I thank you Paula, Lisa, Sonia and Beth for your kindness, efficiency and guidance. I shall spread the word to whomever will listen!
Gratefully, Richard Nassar

Thank you for working with me. Your input, design ideas and designing the floor plan were greatly appreciated. Moving from my house to a smaller suite demanded major downsizing, not always easy. Each time you (Paula), Belinda, Jody and Lisa were at my house I felt energized that this move was possible. You have very special ladies working with you.
Paula, you and your team are exceptional in reassuring your clients, through example, that a move can be completed with calmness and patience. The professionalism, plus understanding shown, was a special gift. I have shared with various friends, your company, plus the good working relationship you have with clients. Most had not heard of this service and were so glad to know about it.
Coming into my new abode that evening was both suspenseful and exciting. My new place was complete, with artwork exactly where I had hoped or better, and everything set up in an elegant and comfortable manner. I realize that the hard work and thoughtfulness of each of you in those few hours made my new space a home! That evening we all were so delighted and pleased, exploring my beautiful new home.
Please share with everyone involved how pleased I am - from the first day to the completion of the move. I couldn't have managed without your professional service, plus the understanding that your clients are making major lifestyle changes.
With sincere thanks,
Catrina
PS: I loved the service so much I had them move me again six month later, into a bigger suite ... another great experience …

A few months ago I had the pleasure of being moved from my home to Westwood Retirement Resort by "Moving Solutions for Seniors". What a wonderful experience it was. They are an awesome team; very caring, careful with your precious belongings, and have everything put in place with pictures hung. My new home was all done in a day. This team is genuinely on your side when you need to move. Exemplary!

We have used the services of Paula and her team on several occasions over the last few years to assist elderly family members with moves. Each time, after communicating any specific wishes of the individuals involved, we were able to leave the details of the move to Paula. She and her team:
assessed floor space of new dwellings and made recommendations as to furniture placement (floor plan),
made all necessary arrangements for movers,
supervised the move on moving day,
placed furniture, pictures and other belongings in the new accommodation,
identified articles suitable for consignment and transferred them to the appropriate outlet, and made arrangements with local charities to take whatever was left over.
We found that Paula had a good working relationship with the assisted living facilities in question and was able to match moves to limited elevator availability.
Sometimes it is not easy to deal with elderly seniors and their families about moves that often have an emotional impact. We found, without fail, that Paula and her team exercised tact and compassion, doing whatever they could to smooth the way. I recall one instance, in particular, when my father's face lit up as he walked through the door of the new assisted living suite and found how well they had done their job. It was just like home again.
We remain grateful for all their assistance.

So glad to have found your services. Coming out of province to clean out my mother in laws condo was overwhelming. Your one stop service covered all our needs. Having you knowing the different resources in town and managing it all for us was a wonderful relief.

It is now over a month since we moved to our new home. I can’t begin to tell you how Moving Solutions For Seniors made our move a real pleasure. Our home sold in 5 days and since we had only a very short time to re-locate, Moving Solutions for Seniors came to our rescue almost the next day, arriving on the scene with large packing boxes, paper, and a staff who knew exactly how to organize everything. We had been in our home 10 years, moved only twice since arriving in Kelowna so had accumulated a great deal. We wanted to give away many things to charities and you helped us with that, along with transporting anything that we no longer needed. Paula came every day and was so helpful and cheerful. Since our suite was vacant, you measured the rooms and helped us to fit in all our furniture. Our moving day, we left our home at 8 a.m. and arrived at our new home at 4 p.m. We couldn’t believe what a wonderful job they had done. Every piece of furniture was in place, everything was unpacked, beds made, food in the frig and freezer, every ornament and book in place and some pictures already hanging. The bouquets of tulips were lovely; there was not a box or scrap of paper anywhere. They came back the next day to help us hang the rest of the pictures. Thank you and your wonderful staff for making our move so pleasant.

Paula, My wife, Irene Claggett and I would like to thank you for sending us a beautiful plant last week. We have lived at Missionwood for just over a month and are beginning to settle in. It certainly is a lifestyle change for us.
We want to express our thanks and appreciation for all of your assistance with our move from 1020 Lanfranco to Missionwood. While it was the most difficult move either of us has experienced because of radical downsizing, you and your colleagues did a fantastic job in preparing for, and carrying out the move. It's amazing how much "stuff" one accumulates over the years. Your professionalism and expertise were certainly noted throughout the moving process, hastened somewhat when our townhouse sold in one day.
Moving day was something else. In less than an hour and a half, the furniture, clothing and personal effects were gone, leaving Irene and me to tidy up the house. Less than six hours later, the telephone rang and we were informed that our new apartment at Missionwood was now ready. We were totally amazed upon our arrival to see the apartment totally furnished, cupboards filled, TV music playing, computer set up and everything in sparkling order. Not an empty cardboard box to be seen. We have never experienced such a service. Paula, your company, and their professionalism is special. We cannot thank you enough.
Needless to say, we rave about your Moving Solutions service to one and all.
Thanks again, Irene and Fred
