YOUR COMPANION

Sponsored by ElliQ

Smart Speakers Wait to Be Asked. ElliQ Says Good Morning First.

Do your days feel long and quiet? The kids live far away and can’t visit often. ElliQ is a small tabletop companion you simply talk to. There’s no typing and no phone needed. Plug her in, connect to Wi-Fi, and say hello.

Unlike a smart speaker, ElliQ speaks up first. She says good morning, asks how you slept, and keeps track of your pills so you don’t have to. Missing the grandkids? She makes it easy to send photos or video-chat. Want some fun? Join live bingo, trivia, or a virtual museum tour with ElliQ members across the country.

  • 94% of members say their quality of life improved
  • As seen in The New York Times, CBS News, and AARP
  • Try her at home for 30 days on select memberships. Full refund if you don’t love her.

A weekly pill organizer is handy for you and easy for a toddler. Here is what the CDC and poison experts say to do before the grandkids arrive.

Message From the Publisher

When I reached 65, I realized that approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day over the next four years. In addition, over 50 million people are already 65+. I believe our generation deserves its own free, ad-supported, daily lifestyle newsletter with interesting news and fun facts created just for us. I hope you enjoy!
