What if aging didn’t mean isolation — but instead meant community, purpose, and intergenerational connection?
In this episode of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast, I sit down with Wesley Cheng — founder of TeleVisit.org, executive director of the PBC Village, and longtime innovator in senior living and aging-in-place technology. Wesley is also the COO of Stack Labs, a smart home solutions company keeping older adults safe at home.
We explore how co-housing is reshaping the way older adults live — combining independence with shared spaces, collective decision-making, and built-in support networks. From reducing loneliness to creating purpose, Wesley shares powerful stories of seniors whose lives were transformed by intentional community living.
🎧 In this conversation, we cover:
✅ What co-housing actually is, and how it’s different from assisted living or retirement communities
✅ The emotional and social benefits — why residents say “it saved my life”
✅ How co-housing fosters intergenerational connections between young families and older adults
✅ Practicalities of joining or starting a co-housing community
✅ What’s happening with co-housing in the Bay Area and across the U.S.
Whether you’re planning for your own retirement, helping aging parents, or working in the senior living field — this episode will open your eyes to new possibilities.
