Helping a friend for ideas, she works in a 55+ community and needs some easy yet interesting article ideas for their monthly magazine. Can be for the retiree/ 55+ group or elderly living etc.

Profile of a resident of the month.

List of places that give senior discounts.

Bus day trips for seniors.

Recipes. Maybe have residents submit a recipe to share.

Most senior living communities start at 55.

I would want a schedule of all relevant activities in the community, and maybe some information on things to do in the local area. I wouldn’t read any of the puff pieces or things that presume all I do is knot, wear stretch pants, can’t use technology, and pee in my pants.

Also, ads for reputable help with computer issues.

I'm 53 and I've never used Uber and I wouldn't know how to troubleshoot computer problems. I'll probably learn how to use Uber but I doubt I'll ever be that great at troubleshooting computer issues, I just don't have any interest in learning and would rather hire someone else to do it.

That's just b/c they need residents...doesn't mean you are senior at 55.

There are some great suggestions already. Here are other things my parents would be interested in:

- Technology articles - smart phone techniques, what phone to buy if you're not very tech savvy, computer tips, smart tv tips, how to save money on cable by using hulu or youtube tv, etc.
- Ask the Doctor or Ask the Nurse column
- Profiles of grandchildren of residents
- Calendar of events
- General trivia
- Short stories or poetry or art of residents
- Travel articles
- Volunteering opportunities
