As more Baby Boomers begin planning their next stage of life, two local professionals have partnered to provide guidance, resources, and support for those navigating the transition into senior living, downsizing, or relocating.
Debbi DiMaggio, a real estate advisor with The DiMaggio Betta Group at Corcoran Icon Properties, has joined forces with Kimberly Sweeney, founder of the senior move management company Moving Angels, to launch SeniorsNextChapter.com. The platform and accompanying event series are designed to help older adults and their families make informed, thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
“Selling a home or moving in your later years isn’t just a real estate transaction, it’s deeply personal,” said DiMaggio. “Seniors Next Chapter brings together people who genuinely care, with the knowledge to help clients navigate these decisions with clarity and confidence.”
To kick off this initiative, DiMaggio and Sweeney are hosting an in-person event:
Seniors Next Chapter: Navigating Life Transitions
Date: May 10, 2025
Time: 11:30am
Location: Corcoran Icon Properties, 342 Highland Ave, Piedmont, 94611
Details: This event will feature expert panelists discussing topics such as downsizing, relocating, and transitioning into senior living. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with professionals who specialize in supporting seniors through these life changes.
Registration: seniorsnextchapter.com
The initiative connects users with experienced professionals in a variety of fields—from elder care and estate planning to real estate, organizing, and home modification. The mission is to reduce stress, increase access to trusted information, and support seniors in crafting transitions that align with their values and lifestyle goals.
This effort comes at a crucial time. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 85 and older is projected to more than double by 2040, surpassing 12 million.¹
A few key trends shaping the landscape include:
Aging in Place: A 2021 AARP survey found that 77% of adults over 50 want to remain in their homes as they age.²
Lifestyle Priorities: Boomers are seeking vibrant communities and independence over traditional care settings, according to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care.³
Financial Pressures: A recent report by Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies highlights the growing affordability gap for seniors as housing and care costs rise.⁴
“We’re building a community around this experience—one that’s collaborative, compassionate, and clear,” said Sweeney. “Whether someone is ready to move now or simply wants to start thinking about the future, we’re here to help.”
Families can also access support through statewide resources like the California Department of Aging and local Area Agencies on Aging.⁵
