Mike came to meet my parents yesterday morning. He was on time and super sweet to my parents... I let him know that my Dad has dementia and Mike did a great job showing BOTH of my parents respect -- having great eye contact with both of my parents when he talked to them! It is so nice to see because many times people do not engage with my dad (like he is not there). It is so important for people with dementia/Alzheimers to "be seen". Anyway, after I showed Mike the layout I created for my parents new patio home (where they will be moving into early April), I told him I would be packing and unpacking their belongings (so they bring over what's necessary, and know where things are once they are moved in). Mike said "I would love to help you, but it appears that you will only be needing a mover". DUH! I am so sorry that I wasted his time. He told me that I shouldn't worry about it. He was so incredibly kind. I wanted to Yelp him to let others know that his heart is in a good place. Mike also shared two referrals with me and gave me a few tips/ideas for the move. I'll be sure to keep his number to pass onto other people at Wesley Palms that could use his services... Thank you, Mike, for your help/professionalism. read more

My brother and I are beyond impressed with the fantastic job done by Liz and Josh and crew to move my mother and her husband to their new home. They had the new rooms looking great and professionally set up yet comfortable within hours. This helped my mother adjust quickly. Highly recommend! read more

The go-to service provider for my senior clients looking to downsize. My MIL has been moved twice by this team, can't say enough wonderful things about this company, its people and level of service--the very best! read more

Mike and his team performed two moves for my mother each done perfectly. Senior Move Masters are timely, through, and most importantly caring. I would highly recommend Mike and his company to anyone requiring a move. read more

There aren't enough superlatives to explain these people & their work ethic. If you are lucky enough to be able to hire them. Do not hesitate!! Thank you Linda, Marilyn & Mike for making our Mom's move to Remington Independent living an absolute pleasure. Every small detail was handled with care, professionalism & a friendly "can do" attitude. love u guys!! read more

Moving--it's right up there with death and divorce as one of life's most stressful events. When the owner of the spacious 3-bedroom condo my husband and I had lived in for over ten years decided to reclaim it, we found ourselves having to downsize to something about half as big. After a couple of weeks of frenzied packing, tossing out, and giving away, we realized we could not handle this move on our own. I'd heard about Senior Move Masters, and gave them a call. Owner Linda Diller immediately connected me with one of her team leaders, Susi Buck, who was a miracle of cheerful, reassuring efficiency. Within a few days, she took a look at our old space and the new one, took photos, emailed sample floor plans for each room, and answered dozens of questions. She arranged for the movers, and assembled a crew. The morning before the move, she and three other women came in and took over. By the end of the day, they'd packed up over 70 cartons of our stuff, to add to the more than 60 my husband and I had filled. Next morning, Susi was there at 8 am, with Gorilla Movers close behind. They were fast, friendly, and careful with our belongings. The rest of the team met us at the new place, gamely moved and re-moved furniture until it worked to our liking, and managed to fit our clothes into the closets, set up our kitchen, and arrange the overflow (sporting gear, cartons of books, etc.) in the garage storage area. When they left, our bed was made, our computers and TV connected, and they took all the trash with them to recycle. Now, a week later, we still have pictures to hang and details to smooth out, but we can't imagine having made the move without them. They're definitely move masters, and you don't have to be a senior--or even downsizing--to make use of their skills. We're recommending them to friends of all ages. What a difference a team makes! read more

Every part of our experience with Senior Move Masters was first rate! They recently helped my Mom move out of her home and into a 1-bedroom apt in an independent living retirement community. The service they provided was excellent! Every step of the way they helped my Mom with the difficult decisions of downsizing. They met with her (and the rest of our family), and explained their services, assessed the complexity of the move, and gave us an accurate estimate of costs. We then were assigned our team lead, Tricia, who was friendly, efficient, and savvy. Great communications throughout. And while she was efficient at getting things done, she never hesitated to listen to my Mom, attend to her as a person going through a stressful situation, and reassure her. These folks know HOW to work with older people who may be overwhelmed by the complexities of a late-life move. Everyone's feelings always came first! They assisted with the downsizing, did all the packing, arranged for the disposal of items that weren't being moved (looked for buyers, set up donation pickups, etc), and arranged the movers who actually loaded the furniture and moved it to the new location. They then unpacked everything, hung pictures, and cleaned away all packing materials. A big job couldn't have been more convenient for us as they took care of everything (while allowing us to participate all along the way). Friendly, honest and efficient services like this are hard to come by. I'd use them myself for a move even though I'm not quite a senior -- yet! And for our family, having them take the stress away from us, and work directly with our Mom was a blessing. We were very much involved, but could step back and let them take the lead in getting the job done. This is definitely the way to move your Mom or Dad! Highly recommended. read more

We recently moved from Carlsbad to San Marcos. We contacted Linda, Founder & Prez of Senior Move Masters who came to our home and explained the services her team could provide. Prior to our move Tricia and Natasha packed us up, organized for the movers to move everything and were then at one apartment in San Marcos to unpack everything. What a treat to move in and have everything put away in advance. I highly recommend Senior Move Masters if you want to take the stress out of your next move!!! Russ Hanthorn read more

This company made it so easy for us to move my mother who has Alzheimer's into a memory care home. It was important to mover her within 5 hours because of our situation and they did it efficiently with an hour to spare. They put everything back as close to the way it originally was including hanging pictures and making the bed so it would be the least traumatic for her. Chris who was the lead on the move team really put our mind at ease especially when she said the facility was a really good one and she has seen a lot of them. I highly recommend this company! read more

Recently my parents needed to move into an assisted living facility. How would my siblings and I manage that, however, while living over 500 miles away? Answer: Senior Move Masters! After my experience with them I would have used them even if I lived 5 miles away. They were the most professional movers I've ever used and they were filled with HEART! They expertly and carefully packed the items to move--and in a mere 48 hours not only transported the items, but set up my parents' new apartment EXACTLY as their house had been. My parents had enough stressors in the move--but walking into a recreated, familiar space with their belongings in place and their pictures on the walls was nothing short of miraculous. It helped them adjust immediately. Finally, I want to appreciate the CARE that Senior Move Masters had for both my parents AND me. They cared for me by making things easy and accommodating my requests. Should I add that ugly 1970's cutting board ("heirloom") to the move? They squeezed it in and said I could decide later. They helped me decide the volume of boxes needed and did it all for a remarkably fair price. This is not really a moving company. It's a compassionate crew of professionals who will hold you and care for you (and your loved ones) through a very stressful time. I've since used them a second time to help move inherited items--those that couldn't fit in my parents' apartment--to my home and my brother's home. Again, we got A++ service. At every turn they went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I'm not related to this company at all! I'm just an enthusiastic and deeply appreciative customer. I hope you will be too. read more

What a concept! This company does everything for you! My friend moved from a two bedroom apartment to a one bedroom in the same Independent Living facility. They assisted with scale printouts of the new rooms with ideas on furniture placement. They pack everything and unpack and place items in the new apartment. Susi and Marianne were so professional and made all the right suggestions! I will definitely use this company again! read more

This company is fantastic. My grandma is a wonderful little lady, but moving her into assisted living was the challenge of a lifetime. She wanted to take EVERYTHING in her 3,000 sq. Ft home and fit it into a one bedroom apart. We worked with Trisha and she came over and measured everything my grandma wanted to take, then did a floor plan lay out showing my grandma exactly what will fit. Trisha was accommodating, kind, and a hard worker. She did a great job of relating with not only my feisty little grandma but also my mother and me. She was a huge help and I highly recommend her, and this company. I have already passed their contact information to several of my grandma's friends moving into assisted or independent living in the future. If you have a family member who needs help with their move this company is going to do a fantastic job. read more

While the liaison was pleasant and thorough, the estimate given to my 90-year-old mother to move her modest amount of furniture and household items was upward of $3,000. This was for planning, packing, and moving her 15 minutes down the road. One-Stop Movers, on the other hand, cost my mom $1,100. Granted, One-Stop did not need to help my mom plan and pack (my siblings and I packed her up), but really--$3,100 for a crosstown move? Ridiculous. read more

My Dad passed away and Mom and I were scrambling to get the apartment they rented packed up. Senior Moving Masters definitely came to the rescue. I called four moving companies before them - all were highly priced (mostly bigger companies found on the internet), all double what Senior Moving Masters charged us, and the other smaller ones didn't seem to be able to pick up the phone. We got someone right away with SMM and they listened carefully to our needs. Mike showed up in his car on packing day - he was super friendly, quick and did an excellent job packing everything up. Highly recommended in terms of efficiency, cost-saving and friendly, helpful customer service. Mike was just amazing and we are still grateful for his demeanor and service! read more

My husband and I moved each of our Moms (within a 3 month period) with the help of Senior Move Masters. Both of our mothers were career military wives and between the two of them they have made more than 40 assisted moves. Each of them loved the service that SMM offered and they both say that their latest move was BY FAR the best they have ever made. They were so courteous, friendly, patient, organized and HARD WORKING! The pricing they offered was very reasonable and worth every penny. Senior Move Masters is a terrific company and I would (and have) recommend them to any of my friends. read more

I used this wonderful company to help move my parents five years ago and they were a lifesaver. So I called them for assistance when I moved my sister this past week. They recommended Don Smith to help us smaller deliveries and Don And his coworker Jon were so wonderful and helped us with all the heavy lifting. Couldn't have done it without them. Thanks for recommending Don !! read more

As a Professional Organizer myself, I appreciate tapping into local services that coordinate with mine. Mike Hazelton of Senior Move Masters in Carlsbad was outstanding today with a garage project! He's professional and a great guy to work with. He had a really good sense of space and project management. And -- nothing was too difficult for him. When I saw him moving a huge, heavy desk logically around the corner by himself, and placing it exactly where I wanted it, I had to give him a high-five. I highly recommend Senior Move Masters. They certainly made my project a success and I will refer them to my clients. read more

I was so pleased and impressed with the services provided by Senior Move Masters! Everybody was quick to respond and extremely helpful. I work for a home care/placement company and needed to move a client the next day into an assisted living community. I called them the day before and Mike was at the client's home ready to take action the very next day. He was a life saver!! Thank you to the entire team that helped us Sally, Susi and especially Mike. read more

Don Smith reached out to me and did a great job for my small move! I would definitely call on them again!

We used this service to move my Mother from a 4 bedroom 3bath house to a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment. This service also arranged the movers, so we didn't have to do much. Donna, was AMAZING!! She went to the new property about two days before the move to get an idea where everything would go. A day before the move she and Alfa came and packed everything, then after the movers delivered everything they UNPACKED and put away everything. I can't say enough about this service! They made it VERY easy for our family and especially my Mom. I would recommend this to anyone with "elder" parents to relocate. THANK YOU!!!! read more

Excellent caring service. Helped my parents pack up to move with love and patience. I highly recommend their services to all who need help to get moving! read more

My business is to help families find Assisted Living for their seniors, which usually means downsizing their furniture and possessions. I always refer them to Senior Move Masters to help with choosing what to move with, packing, transporting, and all that goes with moving. My families are always very happy that SMM 'saved their lives' during this stressful time!! They are grateful for the quick response from SMM, their professional approach, and the help they provide to sort out possessions that are important! SMM is a very specialized, needed, and efficient company to work with. read more

Linda and Mike managed a flawless move for our father from independent living to assisted living. Being from out of town we only had a short time to coordinate the move. They were ahead of us all along the way, making decisions easy and efficient. Very professional staff and experienced! The best movers in my 40+ years of moves :) read more

I have moved many times in the past and, as everyone knows, moves are difficult -- lots of decisions, and lots of work! Senior Move Masters came very highly recommended, and I, therefore, decided to give them a try. Not knowing what to expect, of course, I was apprehensive how it all was going to work out since I was moving from my home to a Retirement Community and had to naturally downsize. Well, let me tell you, Susi Vine of this firm came to my home, explained the process thoroughly, took photos and measured all the furniture, and emailed me floor plans as the process was taking place showing placement of the furniture so that I could see if it met with my approval. Then, on the day everything was to be packed and ready to go, Susi came to my home with two terrific assistants, Vickie and Scott, and the three of them proceeded to carefully pack each and every item I had planned to take. Susi even recommended companies who would purchase what I wasn't taking, as well as places to donate the remainder. Susi also shopped for special shelves needed for my kitchen cabinets in the new location which took that burden off my shoulders. The following day, the three of them returned and assisted the movers. When they all arrived at the new location and the furniture was placed by the movers, Susi, Vickie and Scott remained, unpacked, and set up every single item for us, even putting together all the technical equipment for me. From 8am to 6pm on both days, they did nothing but work extremely hard!!! Yes, it is not inexpensive but after witnessing all the hard and excellent work by these people, it should have cost even more!!! After all was said and done, I must say it was the best thing I ever did for myself! Boy - was I impressed! I am STILL singing the praises of Senior Move Masters, it's owner, Linda, and the wonderful staff; especially, Susi, Vickie and Scott. Thanks so much! read more
