Mike,
Do a little market research among the seniors in your area. What do they feel a need for? Someone to run errands for them or take them to the doctor? Is this the type of business you think you would want to get involved with? Start with the seniors to identify their need. Then list your best and worst skills, and think about what you can do with your skills to meet the seniors needs. I also think that it's important to choose a business that you will enjoy and get personal satisfaction from. If you are happy in what you do it will reflect upon your business.
Did you try a search in topics such as social services, senior issues, AARP? Study your market and keep notes on thoughts and ideas as you do. Good luck!
