Overcome Isolation with GrandPad
We entered 2020 with high expectations and new resolutions. Each of us had exciting plans as the future looked so bright.
We barely celebrated leap year when we were faced with a novel coronavirus which has completely upended our plans, routines and cost many people their health and lives.
Seeing our loved ones and friends may not be as simple as it once was, but we have learned that connecting with people is precious. As social beings we crave time with one another. The GrandPad is a creative way to overcome the prolonged separation forced upon us by COVID-19.
GrandPad is specifically designed to be simple to use for seniors or anyone who is not comfortable with today’s cell phones or computers. A simple tap on one of the GrandPad’s large icons allows the user to make a phone call (either audio or video), view photos or play games and music. Emails are simple to create using voice recording and sent with a touch of a button. The intuitive interface allows the user to tap on telehealth for doctor visits, or use Zoom to join group engagement activities with friends and other groups. There is even a button to call The Option Group, so you can seamlessly reach your Care Coordinator.
The GrandPad is secure from scammers and telemarketers, only allowing authorized family members or providers to access the user. Unlike many other devices, the GrandPad is tailored specifically for each user and delivered ready for immediate use.
For more information, or to order your GrandPad, please call or email The Option Group.
