August 3, 2007, Newsletter Issue #118: Caring for Our Seniors

Tip of the Week

Entrepreneur.com Tip: Thanks to the aging generation of Baby Boomers, there is a health business opportunity around every corner! If you have experience in the health or medical field and want to provide a pleasant atmosphere for today’s seniors, consider some of these business opportunities:

Home Health Care. Many seniors are unable to care for themselves, either after surgery or an injury, or for many of their last years of life. Home health care businesses provide assistance with daily tasks such as preparing meals, bathing, moving around and running errands. Medical Supply. One thing seniors will need more of is medical supplies: from pharmacy prescriptions to compression stockings and canes. You can work with Medicare to provide your senior customers with easy solutions for their medical ailments. Certified Home Medical Assistance. This type of business goes one step further than companion care or home health care. If a patient needs medical treatment but prefers to remain in the comfort of her own home, your business can provide certified nurse care at home. Physical Therapy. Seniors have to take extra precautions to make sure their bodies stay in shape while staying safe. Physical therapists are in high demand for the older population, and there are lucrative opportunities available in this industry.
