Business Opportunities
Benefits of operating a senior resource connection business:
The 60-plus population is growing more rapidly than any other major population group.
You could help influence the direction of important future issues such as the challenges of Social Security, health care, Medicare, Medicaid, senior housing, and other national issues that are important to an aging population.
This growing senior population means there will be a greater need for home and community services, additional housing designed for older adults, socialization programs to engage these older adults, programs and training for family caregivers and others who care for the elderly. These future challenges can provide the “perfect opportunity” for senior service agencies to build a strong support system to meet the needs of today’s aging population.
In 2000, approximately 605 million people were 60 years or older. By 2050, that number is expected to be close to 2 billion. At that time, seniors will outnumber children 14 and under for the first time in history.
People 50 and over control 77 percent of all financial assets in the United States, own almost 50 percent of all credit cards, and account for more than 50 percent of discretionary spending power (2.5 times the average per capita).
You have the power to help shape the laws, policies, products and services that will profoundly affect the quality of the life of our elderly population. Engaging in our national network of providers will give you the potential to earn a great living by helping people!
