Testimonials

We want to take this opportunity to thank John and his team for doing such an outstanding job moving our parents into Whitecliff Retirement Residence. You went above and beyond the call of duty and it felt like you were part of our family during that stressful time! 
We would HIGHLY recommend Changing Places Vancouver to any family contemplating moving elderly loved ones.  John was instrumental in helping to decide what furniture and belongings should be moved; packing everything up; buying lamps and assorted items needed for their new home and arranging furniture and hanging pictures once the move had taken place.  All this was all accomplished with humour; patience and respect for the our parents wishes.
Thanks again!!

John Verster and his crew are very reliable and sensitive to seniors' needs, even when these complications have not been addressed by the senior or their family. They are careful and punctual.

When I decided to make a move into a retirement home, I decided to call John Verster of Changing Places. I have now moved with no stress to me and am a very happy person, thanks to John and his well-managed team.

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for the company Changing Places and associate John Verster. I used Changing Places to help my aunt move from her home of 33 years to a retirement home in Burnaby. As you can imagine, this was a very distressing move for her. I couldn't have asked for a more sensitive and caring transition from one location to another. John and his business associate, Jane Dewing, created a safe, appropriate and inviting new residence for my aunt. This was done in an efficient and effective manner. All of Changing Places' services were utilized effectively. These service were planning and coordinating all moving activities and downsizing, as well as emptying Aunt Phylis's home. Having agreed to the scope of work required, we established a timeframe and budget. John completed the work on time and within budget and I am delighted with the results. I have no hestitation in recommending the services of Changing Places and John Verster. I will certainly be calling on them again as the need arises.
