Good examples of design for the elderly?

Look at the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation program.

The Arthritis Foundation created a program to encourage manufacturers to design user-friendly products and packaging. Manufacturers submit their product(s) for testing by an independent lab experienced in the design and evaluation of products that are accessible to people with functional limitations due to the effects of arthritis.

Designers, you should let your customers know about this program and design for it!
