TW, you might want to consider the OTHER things seniors need/want (otherwise we're just like every other consumer minus the kiddies at home, usually). You've received some excellent suggestions so thought I'd take your ideas in a slightly different direction just for the heck of it.
These might include pharmacies, sources for assistive devices from diabetic shoes to walkers, wheelchairs, handy extensions for retrieving objects, anti-slip and assistive devices in bathtubs and showers, magnifying devices, hearing aid resources, even can and jar openers that don't require strength to use...all those things most folks never think of that can be very important to those of a certain age or life situation.
How about listings of co-operative living situations or elder care facilities? I'm not talking Del Webb here either.
Sources for special foods that may be needed by seniors or the appliances that process them for easy digestion.
Don't forget housekeeping assistance (even for live at home folks), personal shoppers, and listings of senior radio/TV stations and resources.
