Now That You Have a Blog, What Should You Write About?

We discussed the benefits of blogging in a previous post last week. If you’re ready to get going, but don’t know where to start or need a bit of inspiration, here are a few ideas.

10 Senior Living Community Blog Topic Ideas

  1. Explain something about your community or services that might be confusing to someone unfamiliar with senior living.
  2. Post a video from the last fun community event.
  3. Share an interesting story one of your residents just told you (of course, it should be a positive, inspirational story!).
  4. Make lists — they are quick reads and are engaging. Everyone likes a good “Top 10 List”… here are some ideas: Reasons to move to your community, Signs your parent might need to consider a senior living community, Activities at your community, Favorite web sites of your residents, Best desserts at your community, etc.
  5. Provide a blog about available resources for seniors in your area.
  6. Blog about why you became interested in serving in the senior living industry at your particular community and why you love your job today.
  7. Ask residents their opinions on a topic and then share the results.
  8. Interview a resident, adult child, employee, etc., then post the interviews on your blog.
  9. Offer general news stories related to seniors (health tidbits, seniors living life to the fullest, technology, etc.).
  10. Share a story in which your community helped with a charity organization or green initiative.
