This is not a truck-and-two-guys outfit. The jobs its customers describe are the hard ones — moving a parent out of the house they raised a family in, then emptying it before it sells. Generations on the Move works out of Holden and calls itself a senior move management company: decluttering and organizing, packing, coordinating the movers, then unpacking and setting up the new place. The company's site says Kathy Benoit owns and runs it with Cindy Truax on the team, and claims 15 years in business; its BBB page shows the corporation dating to September 2007. A 2025 Wachusett Free Press piece described Benoit buying the business about three years earlier. Google shows 4.6 across 11 ratings, and the seven written reviews since 2023 all run the same direction. A May 2025 customer hired them twice — first to move parents from a large house into assisted living, then again for the clean-out before the sale — and described the crew as flexible and organized. A 2024 reviewer said Benoit came in during the planning phase to help design the layout of their new, much smaller home before a single box was packed. In a 2023 review, a homeowner emptying their mother's place on tight notice credited the team with chasing down new homes for specialized items rather than clearing them out wholesale. The three reviews from January 2026 circle the same two things: attention to detail and empathy, one of them for an estate-related job the customer had no time to handle. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade, though the company is not BBB accredited. Two things worth raising on the first call. The company coordinates a moving company for transport rather than presenting itself as the carrier, so ask who is actually driving the truck and how the load is covered. And its BBB profile carries one alert — ask about it directly, along with the fact that BBB's file still lists Kim McCarthy as president while the company itself names Benoit as owner. The right call for a family staging a downsizing, an assisted-living move, or an estate clear-out, where the work is as much judgment and pacing as it is boxes. The written history is real but not deep — seven reviews on one platform — so get the scope, the mover, and the pricing in writing before booking.

I just wanted to say thank you to both you and your team. You did an exceptional job and went above and beyond. These type of transitions are never easy. Your engagement and empathy, along with your planning facilitated this to be the best move it could be. I don't believe the last three days could have gone any smoother. My brother, sister and I are very thankful for your time and dedication. It was great working with your team and everyone was wonderful. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for a job done very well. Please let the rest of your team know. Sean
It was a pleasure working with Kathy, Lynn and all the team members at Generations On The Move! Their attention to detail, time management and service was second to none. They made our home transition seamless and less stressful. We highly recommend their home transition services. Christine & Jeff Merlin
Had a very positive experience with Kathy and her team. They were quick and efficient and also very friendly and personable people on her team, as well as empathetic in light of it being an estate related engagement. They made quick work of a lot of estate related stuff I did not have the time to handle.
I hired Generations on the Move to help relocate my parents from a large home to an Assisted Living facility and again to help with the clean out before selling their home. Kathy and her crew were so wonderful to work with - they were flexible, kind, compassionate, efficient, professional, hard working and incredibly organized! They packed everything, scheduled the movers and unpacked everything at the Assisted Living apartment, which looked just like "home" when my parents arrived. Their bed was made, clothes and dishes put away and knick knacks displayed. It was just beautiful! Generations on the Move made this transition seemless for my parents, and they did it with incredible care and gentleness. They were equally caring and compassionate while overseeing the house clean out. They understood our needs and found solutions for everything! And they were able to accommodate our rather compact timeline. I can't thank them enough for all they did to ease the stress on me and my parents. They are an amazing company to work with - I highly recommend!!
Kathy and her fabulous team at Generations on the Move made a major life transition for my parents so much better than I ever imagined possible. Moving them into an independent living community was an emotional and overwhelming process, but this team handled everything with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism and helped tremendously to reduce the stress and legwork. They were always organized, punctual, and communicative and nothing was overlooked. Their support went far beyond logistics; they provided the calm reassurance and guidance we needed during a challenging time. This team is highly capable and so good at what they do. I have said many times that I don’t think we could have done this move without them. I highly recommend Generations on the Move!
