Managed Moves

I genuinely cannot say enough about the phenomenal services that Managed Moves provides. Over the past 10 months, my sister and I have hired Managed Moves for four different jobs involving our parents. Managed Moves moved them from their townhome to independent senior living, cleaned out their townhome so it could go on the market, moved them from independent senior living to an assisted living facility, and handled an internal move at their assisted living facility when our parents needed to be moved to individual apartments. Not only did Managed Moves handle each of those situations with grace, tact, professionalism, and enthusiasm, the last two moves both had to come together with less than two weeks notice both times. Whether it has been the office staff coordinating the move or clean out from the main office, the folks who have come the day before a move to pack everything up, the crew that shows up the day of the move to do the lifting and carrying, or the person who has come the day after the move to unpack everything, every interaction we have had with every person on Managed Moves staff has been personable and engaging. Clearly, all of the employees at Managed Moves go out of their way to make everyone involved in the move feel like family. During the packing session for our parents very first move, our mother latched on to one of the packers and talked to the woman nonstop for multiple hours. Rather than appear flustered or irritated by the very real distraction, the packer warmly responded to everything our mother said and honestly engaged her in conversation (all while continuing to do a remarkable job of packing up everything in site). Equally wonderful is the fun quirk that one young man has been a member of all four crews that have done work for our parents. When he saw me the second time we were using Managed Moves, he went out of his way to say hello to me. During the third and fourth jobs, we have both had fun discussing things that have had nothing to do with the move. Beyond the amazing personal interactions, Managed Moves is able to increase their efficiency and effectiveness because they know the ins and outs of every senior living facility in the Portland area. They not only know how to get around in the buildings quickly, but also they know how to do it without disrupting the daily routines of all the other residents. Although the state sets the rates that all licensed movers are able to charge, I have always felt that we are getting an overwhelming bargain with Managed Moves because the quality of the experience has been breathtaking. The reality is that my sister and I will likely have to move one of both of our parents one or two more times, and the one absolutely certainty is that we will be hiring Managed Moves for those moves. Even if Managed Moves were to be charging twice what we have paid, I would feel like I was getting a steal. If you have a senior that needs to move into senior living and/or needs their former residence cleaned out, hiring Managed Moves is one of the smartest things you can possibly do.

Managed Moves smoothed my mom’s move. They were very calm and helpful. They helped plan the move and during the actual move-in they were very kind and engaging with my mom. I highly recommend this company

Managed Moves moved me to a retirement community and then cleared out my house. They were incredible! They carried a couch up to the 9th floor and even made the bed in the new apartment. The clear out was handled our very efficiently. Until I moved I didn't realize how much 'stuff' there was-- tools from my husband and father in law, mementos from previous generations. They found someplace to donate almost all of it.

We used Managed Moves to move my mom into assisted living. We were so pleased with them, we used them again to pack up her apartment for another move. THEN we used them again to move my husband and I into a new home. They are the BEST to work with. Very professional, hard working and reasonably priced. They did a great job all three times for us. Highly recommend.

From the packers to the movers, everyone was so nice and very helpful!
