About the Book

It serves a narrow niche market and it sounds too good to be true: a 'job' that takes less than an hour, that you can schedule for pretty much any time on any day, that is fun and rewarding for you and others, and pays $35 - $150 an hour. But, it is true. And it's what ordinary people who entertain seniors do: get paid to bring joy to seniors. With the senior population exploding and a new facility to house them being built on every corner, the need for senior entertainment is becoming a burgeoning industry. It's also one that's fairly easy to break into. Yet, it's a virtually untapped market for talent in the community that few are aware even exists. This book seeks to change that, revealing fun, rewarding opportunities at senior homes for not only entertainers but also 'non-performers', as well: from yoga and exercise instructors to speakers and readers, and from arts and crafts workshop leaders to fashion boutique owners. In an easy-to-follow outline format, author Karen Raines shares valuable insights into the 'senior entertainment circuit', drawn from her many years of experience on both sides of the equation, as both a provider of senior activities to over 20 senior facilities and as a former Activities Professional. If you're eager to share a skill or talent, memories or hobby with an appreciative audience (for pay or as a volunteer) or just have a heart for seniors, Karen Raines will show you through this book how to create your own gold mine of opportunities using what you already have and a little creativity. She did it, and has since founded Seniorplaylist.com, a directory of entertainers and activity providers used by those who book such programs in the niche senior market nationwide. You, too, can build a successful and fulfilling career sharing your gifts with seniors, even part-time, with this book as your guide. When you do, you will find it to be the most fun, rewarding outlet for community talent imaginable, and rejoice in having been led to that discovery, through the pages of this book.
About the Author: Karen Raines has parlayed her five-years' experience as an Activities Professional and seventeen years as an activity provider for twenty senior facilities into serving as a conduit between the two, writing "'Golden Opportunities' For Talent & Activities in Local Senior Places" as a how-to guide for those who long to ride the rising tide of senior entertainment but don't know how. Further capitalizing on her dual experience on both sides of the senior entertainment equation, Ms. Raines conceived of a website called Seniorplaylist.com that is used by Activities Professionals nationwide as a free resource to find untapped community talent to entertain the residents of senior facilities. Since the site's debut in Raleigh, NC in 2012, Ms. Raines has been profiled in Raleigh's "News and Observer", on WRAL-TV's "Tarheel Talk" program, in two nationally broadcast webinars, and on a local radio program. In addition to her work as a senior entertainer, Ms. Raines is a public speaker and freelance writer whose articles have been published in "Wake Living","NC Builder" magazine, "Victoria" magazine's "Reader-to-Reader" newsletter, and on "Senior Kaboodle.com". She has also been a regular on-air reader for TRRS, a nationally-syndicated news radio service for the vision- and print impaired, and published two books of original poetry ("Poetically Correct" and "Moments in Rhyme & "Tails' Sublime: Animals & Nature Captured in Story & Verse"), available on Lulu.com and Createspace.com, respectively, and on Amazon.com.
