The Gadget Fair was a great place to learn about 'gadgets', health aids and items, that can help a senior safely in their home and in their car.
Thank you exhibitors! Thank you seniors for attending!
Northeast Senior Services, Inc. thanks the following organizations for participating in the 2017 Gadget Fair and sharing their knowledge and resources with seniors:
Autumn Woods of St. Anthony, a Lang-Nelson Community for co-hosting the Gadget Fair at their beautiful apartment community;
University of Minnesota Occupational Therapy program students who demonstrated handy helps (gadgets) that make your car fit better and help passengers get in/out of a car - the picture below show a student with an attachable strap to assist passengers with entry and exit from a car;
Handi Medical Supply Services with gadgets that help seniors to improve mobility and safety in the home -- look at that cool one handed strainer in the picture below.
North Memorial Health Services demonstrating a emergency call system which is answered locally and a medication management system;
University of Minnesota Physical Therapy staff and student and Fairview Trauma staff for assisting seniors in getting a correct fit with their walkers and canes. A good idea for once you have recovered or as you age, to check the fit.;

Tupperware with items that help seniors to keep food stored and organize their kitchen/home;
