Moving with time and care
A senior move is not just a transport – it is a change of life
After 30, 40 or 50 years in the same home, a move touches far more than furniture. That is why we take a different pace: we plan with you, not over your head, we take the time to sort things through, and we set up the new home so that the first evening already feels like home – bed made, lamps working, kettle where it belongs.
- One contact person from the first call to the last box – you never have to explain twice.
- We do the lifting and the packing, you decide what comes along.
- Care fund subsidy of up to €4,000 possible – and we can bill it directly.
- Relatives can organise it from a distance – survey by video, everything in writing.
- Insured at €620/cbm, with our own staff and our own fleet.
Care fund & care insurance
Up to €4,000 from the care fund – and we bill it directly
If you or your relative has a care grade (Pflegegrad 1–5), the care fund (Pflegekasse) of the statutory care insurance can subsidise the move as a measure to improve the living environment under § 40 (4) SGB XI – for example when the new home is barrier-free, on the ground floor, has a lift or is closer to the people who provide the care.

You get the quote
We put the move in writing in the form the care fund expects – usually within 24 hours, free of charge.
You apply to the care fund
Submit the application with our quote and the reason why the new home makes the care easier. We help you put it together.
We move you & bill the fund
Once the subsidy is approved, we can invoice the care fund directly – so the money does not have to come out of your pocket first.
Please note: the decision is always made by your care fund, and the subsidy is granted per measure, not automatically. Apply before the move. We are a removals company, not a care or legal advisor – but we write the quote so that a formality does not hold up your application, and we are happy to speak to the fund with you.
All from one hand
Everything we take off your hands
You do not have to organise a single thing. Tell us what you would like, and we put it in the quote – individually itemised, so the care fund can approve each item.
Sorting out, together
The hardest part is deciding what comes along. We take the time, pack what stays with you and arrange storage for what you are not ready to part with.
Packing & unpacking
Our team wraps the china, the photographs and the things that matter – and unpacks them again in the new home. You do not lift a single box.
Furniture dismantled & rebuilt
The wardrobe, the bed, the kitchen: we take them apart and put them back together, so everything stands ready on the same day.
Setting up your new home
Bed made, lamps hung, television connected, pictures on the wall. We stay until the flat works – not until the truck is empty.
Clearing the old flat
Handing the old flat back is part of it. We take care of bulky-waste disposal and clearance so the keys can go back on time.
Heavy furniture, no stairs
Fifth floor without a lift? Our furniture lift and a no-parking zone right outside the door keep the day short and calm.

A calm survey
We come to the flat, or we do it by video if the family lives far away. We look at what is there, what comes along and what needs to go.

Arriving, not just unloading
We set up the new home and clear the old flat. Afterwards we can bill the care fund directly, once the subsidy is approved.
Where the journey goes
Every senior move has its own reason
Whatever the reason for the move, the same principle applies: we adapt to you, not the other way round.
Into a smaller flat
The house has become too big, the garden too much work. We help you downsize without losing what matters – and store what you are not ready to let go of.
Into a barrier-free home
Ground floor, a lift, a walk-in shower. Exactly the kind of move the care fund is there to support, because it makes care possible at home for longer.
Closer to the family
Across Berlin or across Germany, so that the children and grandchildren are minutes away instead of hours. We do both.
Into assisted living or a care home
Often only one room comes along. We coordinate with the home, move what fits, and take care of the flat that stays behind.
We move the furniture. You keep the memories.
Thirteen years, more than 1,600 reviews and 4.9 out of 5 stars – a good part of them from families who trusted us with exactly this moment. Permanently employed staff, our own fleet, no subcontractors, and the patience this kind of day deserves.
Frequently asked questions
FAQ – Care fund subsidy, applications & the move itself
The key answers about a senior move with Junker Removals and the subsidy from the care fund – and when you can reach us.
Does the care fund really pay for a senior move?
It can. If you or your relative has a care grade (Pflegegrad 1–5), the care fund of the statutory care insurance can subsidise the move as a measure to improve the individual living environment under § 40 (4) SGB XI – with up to €4,000 per measure. The condition is that the new home makes the care possible, easier or restores independence – for example because it is barrier-free, on the ground floor or has a lift. The care fund decides on each case individually.
Which care grade do I need?
A care grade from 1 to 5 is sufficient in principle – there is no requirement for a higher grade. What matters to the care fund is not the number itself but the reason: the move has to improve the living situation in a way that helps with the care. If no care grade has been assigned yet, it is worth applying for one first.
Do you bill the care fund directly?
Yes. Once the subsidy has been approved in writing, we can invoice the care fund directly – so you do not have to pay the amount yourself and wait for a reimbursement. Just tell us the fund and the reference number from the approval.
When do I have to apply for the subsidy?
Before the move. Submit the application with our quote and the reason why the new home makes the care easier, and wait for the written approval. An application made afterwards is the exception. We usually have the quote ready within 24 hours on business days, so the application does not have to wait.
What if two people needing care live in the same household?
Then the subsidy can be granted more than once. If several people entitled to care benefits live together, the amounts are combined for a shared measure – for two people up to €8,000 and for up to four people a maximum of €16,000 in total.
What is included in a senior move with Junker?
As much or as little as you want: the moving team and the truck, packing and unpacking your belongings, dismantling and rebuilding the furniture, and setting up the new home so the first evening already works – bed made, lamps hung, television connected. On request also moving materials, a no-parking zone, a furniture lift and the clearance of the old flat. Everything is listed separately in the quote so the care fund can approve each item.
Can you clear out and dispose of what stays behind?
Yes. Handing the old flat back on time is part of the job. We take care of the clearance and the responsible disposal of bulky waste, and we can store anything you are not ready to part with yet.
What if the move is into assisted living or a care home?
We do that regularly. Often only a room’s worth of furniture comes along and the rest of the flat has to be cleared. We coordinate the date with the home, move what fits into the new room and set it up, and take care of everything that stays behind.
Can relatives organise the move from another city?
Yes – and it is very common. We can do the survey by video, put everything in writing, and keep one contact person for the whole family. Sons and daughters are welcome to handle the calls and the paperwork on behalf of their parents.
