Older women (and men) are at risk of falling down. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults. Death rates from falls are increasing, particularly among those aged 75+. Lots of reasons are cited, including medications, snow and ice, or poor vision, among other causes. At the end of one such article, experts noted that ‘staying active’ would help protect against fall risk. Whatever that meant.

CES is overwhelming – and it would be impossible to see all of these in person. But looking through the best-of lists and the award winners in various categories (including the Accessibility Stage this year), these offerings caught my eye for the benefits they can offer older adults, including those with grandchildren.  Most are very new, and as always with CES, a number are not quite available. A link to the website is the best way to learn more – all information came from the firms’ sites.
