Libby, the owner, and all of her staff, were very patient, thorough and kind to my elderly aunt throughout her entire move. It meant a lot to have very fair and competent people organizing and helping with this very stressful move for her. They also abided by all of the COVID safety parameters, which is so important when moving the elderly. Thank you!

I retained Senior Settlers last summer to help me in my move to San Francisco Towers.

I first met with Libby Wood, the head of Senior Settlers, who clearly explained how the company works and the services it can provide. It’s helpful that a client can choose from many types of service available exactly which ones he needs in a particular move.

Libby assigned one of her employees named Kimberly to my move. Kimberly helped me decide how to dispose of the furniture I was taking to the Towers. It’s quite difficult to sell or donate furniture, especially during the covid pandemic.

A day before the move Kimberly, and another employee came to my place and packed all the kitchen items. On the day of the move, I stayed in my condominium and supervised the movers while Kimberly and the other employee were in position at my Towers apartment to accept the furniture and furnishings from the movers.

Kimberly did a wonderful job of unpacking all of the kitchen items and placing them on the shelves and in the drawers.

I found Libby and her crew to be highly skilled at what they do. As a bonus, they are very pleasant women to be around.

I can’t imagine accomplishing my move without Senior Settlers’ help.

Senior Settlers helped me with a move that was time pressured; I gave them very little notice, yet they were flexible enough to fit me in and did a great job. They helped me to winnow out what could be left behind for recycling, repurposing, or giving away from my home of 30 years. They did this in 4 days! They did the packing, the hiring of excellent movers that were not expensive; they supervised those movers and then unpacked the boxes so that I could sleep in a made bed that night; they came back the next day to complete the job including setting up my kitchen. They were pleasant and encouraging. All of this during Covid.
A friend used their services recently and I was curious whether my excellent experience was a one-off or unique. She had a difficult move as well with major downsizing required. She too found their help to be excellent and life-saver.
Thank you to all of the Senior Settler staff!

I consider myself one of the luckiest people to have heard about you at a time in my life when Senior Settlers was exactly what I needed. You were fantastic, professional, sooo helpful, knew exactly what was needed and pleasant to work with. Words cannot express my appreciation to Senior Settlers!

I really appreciate all the effort and extra steps you put into my Dad’s move. I barely had to lift a finger. Your calm demeanor helped keep things at ease during yet another transition in my Dad’s life.
