I heard on the radio today of a play Mother - a one woman show with Noni Hazelhurst. I'd love to see it, as it focuses on one of the issue of homeless ageing women.
I am not sure I can go to it, as all online tickets are sold, and I have a BIG week this week too, but I will try to find it.
The issue of senior solo woman is very important to me, because I am one! I am lucky though, but not without some major challenges in my life. I am concerned that despite much research on the topic suggesting that so many women are in dire straits, nothing is being done by our governments.
I have learned that there is special accommodation for senior solo women - at least one place in Brisbane, and I hope to be able to visit it one day. It is a private operation. I believe that there is the potential for more of these - and I believe that they could be profitable.
What do these women want? (Oh, yes, I do remember the movie - but it has nothing to do with what I am considering.)

Women are very concerned about
- Security - women are very vulnerable and worry about their own safety.
- Loneliness - so many women have friends, but spend many hours on their own.
- Financial Security - men have always earned more and generally had more money than women and many were left with very little or nothing after the death or departure of a spouse.
- Health issues - being alone and sick is not good!
There are other issues that individuals have too.
I am not sure what I am going to do, but it is an issue that I am passionate about and hope to do something positive for this cohort.

Do you know a senior solo woman? Do you know what her concerns are?
I'd love some feedback.
