Next Chapter Home Transitions Announces a New Association with Cocoon System: A Better Way to Support Aging in Place

For many older adults, the wish to remain at home is about much more than avoiding a move. Home represents independence, familiarity, community, memories and control over daily life. But wanting to age in place and being properly prepared to do so are not always the same thing.

A home that worked well for decades can become harder to navigate as balance, strength, vision, mobility or health needs change. A loose rug, poor lighting, an awkward step, a difficult door handle or an inaccessible bathroom may seem like a small concern—until it contributes to a fall, an injury, a hospitalization or a sudden loss of independence.

That is why Next Chapter Home Transitions is pleased to announce a new association with Cocoon System, an innovative home-safety evaluation platform created to help older adults, families and the professionals who serve them identify risks, understand priorities and make more informed aging-in-place decisions.
