Frequently Asked Questions

GrandPad is designed specifically for seniors.

True, it simplifies communication and entertainment. But it doesn't have daily wellness check-ins or automatic family alerts. Our app fills that specific safety gap.

My parent loves their GrandPad.

Wonderful! GrandPad is great for staying connected. Add our free app on their phone for daily safety confirmation - GrandPad doesn't monitor wellness.

GrandPad has a dedicated support team.

Their support helps with device issues, not daily wellness monitoring. Our app systematically checks if your parent is okay every single day.

Is GrandPad worth the monthly cost?

For communication and simplicity, it can be. But for daily safety monitoring specifically, our free app is more effective and costs nothing.

GrandPad stays at home. What about when my parent goes out?

Tablets are typically left at home, which means no monitoring when your parent is out running errands, visiting friends, or at a doctor's appointment. Our app lives on their phone, which goes everywhere they go. Daily wellness confirmation works whether they are at home, at the grocery store, or visiting family across the country.
