How self-storage will help when moving into a care home

First steps

Moving into a care home can be a difficult situation for most people. So we wanted to take one stress away and reassure you that storing your items in a self-storage unit (for short or long term) can make the switch easier.

We won’t pretend to know much about care homes, but we do want you to be informed about your decision so we found a detailed care home checklist from Age UK to fill out before moving into a care home.

How can Woodpecker help you?

Self-storage has become very popular since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Booking a storage unit will give you the peace of mind while being in a care home that your belongings will be kept safe instead of laying around your family’s basement, collecting dust.

Our team can help you with the moving process, from picking the right storage unit size to hiring a van to transport your belongings. You can pick the right storage size from our Ultimate unit size guide or you can call our friendly team for advice. They will always be happy to assist you with any enquiries you have.

Packing your items

After choosing the right self-storage unit size, you can start thinking about the next step, which is how to properly pack to avoid any damage while moving. Parting from your belongings might be challenging because you are emotionally bound to them but with the right packaging you can preserve them and they will be in the same condition as you left them once you’ve settled into your new environment. If you need any guidance on how to pack your fragile belongings properly, review our handy guide: How to efficiently and safely pack a storage unit.

Easy access and secure

We will provide you with a personal code to access the Woodpecker gate and then you can drive up right in front of your self-storage unit. Our site is equipped with the latest modern CCTV surveillance and our team will be on-site to assist with anything you need. This system also means that you can come down any time during the day to access your unit or 24/7 if you select that option at booking.
