Who We Are

Cleveland's Dedicated Senior Transition Specialists

At Summit Senior Services, we understand that transitioning a home isn't just a logistical task — it's one of life's most emotional moments. Whether you're a senior ready for your next chapter or an adult child helping a parent downsize, we're here to take the weight off your shoulders.


We handle senior moves and downsizing as one integrated service, right here in Greater Cleveland. No juggling multiple companies. No miscommunication. Just one trusted team from start to finish.

Every Service You Need, Tailored to Your Situation

No two families are the same. We don't offer one-size-fits-all packages — instead, we sit down with you, understand your specific needs, and build a custom plan that fits your timeline, your budget, and your family.

Below is a full picture of what we can handle — use as much or as little as you need.

📦

Packing & Unpacking

Professional, careful packing of an entire home or specific rooms — and full unpacking and setup at the new location so it feels like home immediately.

🚚

Senior Move Coordination

We manage and oversee every aspect of moving day — scheduling, supervising movers, and making sure nothing gets lost or damaged in the process.

🗂️

Downsizing & Decluttering

We help you make thoughtful decisions about what to keep, donate, sell, or discard — at your pace, with zero pressure.

📐

Floor Plan & Space Planning

We help plan your new space before moving day so furniture fits perfectly and your new home is comfortable and functional from day one.

🎁

Donation & Disposal

We coordinate donations to local charities, arrange junk removal, and ensure unwanted items are handled responsibly so you don't have to lift a finger.

🏠

Home Cleanout

After a sale or move, we can arrange a full cleanout of the property — leaving it clean, empty, and ready for listing or handover.

🌿

Settling-In Support

We don't disappear after move-in. We hang pictures, connect electronics, organize closets, and make sure your loved one feels truly at home.

📱

Online Item Sales

Want to sell furniture, antiques, or household items without the hassle of a traditional estate sale? We photograph, list, and manage the sale of your items on Facebook Marketplace and other platforms — handling inquiries and pickups so you don't have to.

Not sure which services you need?

That's exactly what our free consultation is for. We'll come to you, assess the situation, and put together a clear, custom plan — with transparent pricing and no obligation.

Built for Seniors and Their Families

For Seniors

You've earned a transition that's handled with respect and patience. We move at your pace, protect what matters most, and make sure your next home feels like home from day one.

For Adult Children

Managing a parent's move from across town — or across the country — is overwhelming. We become your boots on the ground, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Downsizing

Moving from a family home to a smaller space means making hard decisions. We guide you through sorting, donating, selling, and letting go — without the stress.

Senior Living Transitions

Moving to independent living, assisted living, or a care community requires precision and care. We've done it many times and know exactly how to make it smooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every family's situation is different — the size of the home, the services needed, and the timeline all affect the cost. That's why we don't offer fixed packages. After a free in-home consultation, we put together a clear, written quote tailored to your specific needs. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Not necessarily. Many of our clients — especially adult children managing a parent's transition — aren't local. We keep you informed every step of the way via phone, text, or email, so you always know what's happening without needing to be there in person. That said, you're always welcome to be involved as much or as little as you'd like.
The earlier the better — especially if you have a firm move-in date at a senior living community or a real estate closing deadline. That said, we understand that transitions don't always come with advance notice. Reach out as soon as you know you'll need help and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your timeline.
We coordinate everything. Depending on the items, we can arrange donations to local Cleveland-area charities, consignment with local shops, or responsible junk removal. Our goal is to make sure as little as possible goes to waste — and that nothing is left for the family to deal with after the fact.
Rather than hosting a traditional estate sale, we photograph and list items the family wants to sell on Facebook Marketplace and other platforms. We handle all buyer inquiries, coordinate pickup times, and manage the transaction — so the family never has to deal with strangers or logistics. It's a more private, flexible, and often faster alternative to a traditional estate sale.
Yes. We're familiar with many senior living communities across Greater Cleveland and can coordinate directly with their move-in teams. This helps ensure a smooth transition on move-in day — the right items arrive in the right rooms, at the right time, with minimal disruption to your loved one.
