The Best Home Business Ideas

A good home business idea is one that has a strong market. It’s doubtful, with baby boomers nearing retirement age, that there is any stronger market than the 50+ crowd of consumers. This decade there are 15 percent more seniors than the last and in 2010 that is likely to increase even more.
Coming up with a home business idea that is attractive and useful to baby boomers and seniors and for whom the market hasn’t been saturated is a sound business plan.

For an entrepreneur who wants to focus on the truly elderly here are some home business ideas.

Senior day care center not only helps the elderly but can be marketed to the middle aged and baby boomers that are tasked with caring for aged and infirm parents. This is a group that’s really caught in the middle, with full time jobs, caring for elderly parents and often children still in the household. They’re a great market for someone with a home business idea that helps save them money as well as time. It also offers social opportunities for the parents being cared for.

While adult day care can be in a large commercial facility many of them are owned by sole proprietors who offer the center in their own home. There are two different levels of adult day care and the home business idea is best for the social center. The other choice is a medical focused care center, where those who are bound to a wheelchair, are incontinent or need assistance with eating and bodily functions can be cared for. A typical home based adult day care center focuses on the idea of providing a safe and social environment for those who are higher functioning, though the caregiver should be prepared to dispense medications.

Another home business idea that centers on seniors is a relocation service. Many of the tasks involved in moving, or even in making the twice yearly transition from the winter to the summer home or vice versa, become increasingly difficult with age. A relocation specialist can help sell a home, help select a moving company, help pack, load the truck or car, prepare for and manage the garage or estate sale and even help unpack depending upon the geographic restrictions of the service. A related home business idea that might be lucrative as well would be to travel with the senior and drive the car. Many older folks no longer drive long distances, are uncomfortable with the higher highway speeds that exist now and have lost their night vision.

These are just a couple of the home business idea possibilities centered on seniors.
