What would senior citizens like to see on the market or a certain product that would benefit them?
So I'm trying to find a product that would appeal to senior citizens and they would be willing to buy it. The company I'm creating would also be internet based so it could be some sort of service as well. Any ideas would be appreciated!
The first things to come to mind are new improved inventions to help
people with mobility problems. Perhaps to invent a powered chair
that isn't as large to enable them to get around in smaller spaces.
Something on the order of an electric scooter that can maneuver
around furniture easily. You wouldn't need a large motor for something that would move more slowly indoors rather than outside. But you
could take it outside as well, if there were good traction tires.
Improved shower and tub handles or bars is anOther needed thing.
Those I've seen are ugly, tho they are necessities for some. I'm now
in the position of needing help to get in and out of showers with
something to hold onto that is longer than those available now. Maybe
you could study what there is on the market, and find ways to im-
prove them for more practibility and attractiveness.
What activities do male senior citizens want to participate in or have assistance with?
I am working at a senior center (planning activities), it seems that females participate more than males in the activities (research also supports that). I am here trying to get some ideas from male senior citizens to improve their attendance and interest in the center. All activities considered.
I think women tend to be more social than men by nature. Men are conscious of their diminished capabilities and don’t like to be in public. Women age more gracefully. Men like doing things like fishing, bowling, gardening or making things. Some like creative activities. The best thing to do would be to conduct a survey of things a man likes doing and put them on the survey as many as you can think of. Plus have on the survey a few open lines where the men can put what isn’t listed.

I'm interesting in starting a senior companion business to take seniors out for meals, to the movies, grocery shopping, to the barber or hair salon. This service will only be for seniors who are able to walk without assistance.

I need to know what kind of questions to expect for an interview, for an elderly in home health care position?
I need to know what to expect during an elderly home companionship interview?
2 of the most asked ?'s are cooking and do you do think you would like it here. A big tip for you. If you would like for them to know you care, ask them about their interests. It's important that you find " a common" ground. It will let them know that you are concerned about their well being. They will be impressed to know that your likes are theirs. Most of all, be yourself, very relaxed.
