  We've used Charlie and his team twice for moving my elderly parents, first from their very large and cluttered house to independent living, and now from independent living to assisted living. Each time, they had to significantly downsize, and Charlie was thorough, completely reliable, well organized, and very systematic in each step of the move, from first drawing up plans and figuring out what can/should be taken and left, to then managing all the details of what to do with the stuff that couldn't be taken. Perhaps what was even more impressive was his ability to manage all the resistance and emotions that my parents had in navigating the move. We highly, highly recommend them. ----Oh, and one more thing: my brothers and I live on the East coast and have had to deal with all of these details from out of state (only meeting Charlie once when we were all in town), and Charlie's communication was stellar.

  I selected Smooth Transitions to help me with my move to a senior retirement community. It is a small family-owned business run by St. Louis natives, Charlie and Beth Shapard, and was on the short list of senior movers recommended by the community. Having handled previous moves on my own with all the stress and mistakes inherent in that process, I had no idea what a difference it could make to use a transition resource like this. They not only helped me with the always difficult process of sorting, decluttering, donations, consignment, etc., but they gave me invaluable advice on placement of my furniture in my new home. While their expertise was my reason for choosing them, the very best part of this experience was that they treated me like a family member, well understanding the emotional aspects of moving to a retirement residence, deselecting personal possessions, and the vulnerability one inevitably feels during this process. They attended to every detail with care and continued to follow up with me after the move to make certain I was happy with the results and that any remaining questions were answered. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  I used Smooth Transitions twice, and both experiences were everything that was promised. The first move involved downsizing and getting Mom from her home of 55 years to an Assisted Living apartment. I was juggling her care, my job and this move. Thanks to the expertise, professionalism and knowledge of the moving company, this move was the most organized and executed part of this necessary but emotionally-taxing transition. Charlie guided me every step of the way, one step at a time. My Mom's things were handled with care, and perfectly set up in the new apartment. About 1 1/2 years later, I needed to move Mom within the facility to a smaller apartment, and that move was equally well done. A few things needed to be downsized, and the "discarded" furniture was taken to a donation site. I highly recommend this company, if you could not already tell by my remarks! They can help with only moving, or any part of the process that your family may need, i.e., organizing, packing, moving, unpacking, hanging pictures and more. Not only was their guidance needed and appreciated, they also treated my Mom with kindness and respect. Thank you, Charlie, for making Mom's transition smooth!
