Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Smooth Transitions of Massachusetts describes its work as moving services for seniors. Its website lists transition planning and oversight, sorting to keep, disperse, sell, donate or recycle, floor planning, home staging and decluttering for realtor photos, estate dispersal, local move packing and unpacking, and move day activity management. It holds an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. Out-of-town sellers of a house formerly owned by a deceased family member say Ann Newberry, owner of Smooth Transitions of MA, arrived at the house prepared to help organize, sort, pack and move the contents collected over more than 50 years of residency, arranged auctions, donations or discarding, and that all moved items arrived safely and on time to the west coast. A customer who moved an aunt to assisted living says Ann's employees sort through belongings with the client, pack up and arrange the packers, then on the day of the move unpack everything, decorate and set everything up. A reviewer who refers moving clients to them says they work closely with clients to declutter, organize and prepare their homes before a move. In a 2026 review, a customer said they covered contacting a moving company, packing, unpacking and putting items away, measuring new spaces and making floor plans to fit existing furniture. In 2025, a customer said they disposed of and donated furniture and small items and packed and unpacked them flawlessly. In 2023, they handled a customer's parents' move from their home of 48 years to assisted living, and the customer said the parents arrived to an apartment filled with their familiar furniture and decorated with family photos and keepsakes. On westboroughtv.org, The Next Chapter host Carolyn MacLeod sat down with Ann Newberry to learn about how to downsize and take the stress out of changing your address. **Strengths:** - Whole-house moves — contents of 50 years sorted, packed and shipped west - Move-day setup — staff unpack, decorate and set up the new home - Floor planning — a 2026 customer had new spaces measured for furniture ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Google: 5 stars from 50 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Smooth%20Transitions%20of%20Massachusetts&query_place_id=ChIJU_Xhz6B35IkR8Jxc-TUISlk) — “Google: 5★ from 50 ratings” - Describes its work as moving services for seniors _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/ashland/profile/senior-delivery-services/smooth-transitions-of-massachusetts-llc-0021-429236) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): Moving services for seniors” - Lists transition planning, sorting, floor planning, staging and decluttering, estate dispersal and move packing and unpacking (self-reported) _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://smoothtransitionsma.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Our ServicesTransition Planning and OversightTransition Planning and OversightSorting: Keep, Disperse, Sell…” - Better Business Bureau grade: A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/ashland/profile/senior-delivery-services/smooth-transitions-of-massachusetts-llc-0021-429236) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - Organized, sorted, packed and moved a house's contents to the west coast, with auctions, donations and discarding arranged _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2paWWVrdGxlR2h5UmxCVlVtVldZMlkzUkV0RmRGRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x594a0835f95c9cf0!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjZYektleGhyRlBVUmVWY2Y3REtFdFE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ As out of town sellers of a house formerly owned by a deceased family member, we knew we were in desperate need of an experienced and tho…” - On an assisted-living move, staff unpacked, decorated and set everything up on move day _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT20xRU1tOVFSVEJoZFcwMVVEQk9RVTF5ZVRGcE1YYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x594a0835f95c9cf0!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOm1EMm9QRTBhdW01UDBOQU1yeTFpMXc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ There aren’t enough stars for this amazing company !
