GrandPad is being used to connect more than 1 million seniors in 110 countries with their families, friends, and caregivers.

The end-of-year holidays are upon us, and to help family caregivers navigate and maintain balance and well-being in the weeks ahead, GrandPad, creator of the purpose-built tablet for seniors over the age of 75, is providing “Countdown to 2021” caregiving tips.

At a time when staying safely connected is more essential than ever, GrandPad is proud to announce that it has created connections for more than 1 million seniors, family members, friends, and caregivers through the GrandPad purpose-built tablet, GrandPad Central web portal, and Family Companion App. These connections come from 110 countries around the world and represent the number of people who are connected through GrandPad.

GrandPad, creator of the purpose-built tablet for seniors, is urging family caregivers to take steps to prevent loneliness and isolation for older loved ones in the coming weeks, as families adjust to virtual holidays and continued COVID-19 visiting restrictions.

The 2020 holiday shopping season is upon us and technology will be at the top of many gift lists. But when it comes to buying mobile devices or tablets for older loved ones — many of whom may still be experiencing visiting restrictions or facing upcoming holiday celebrations alone — how do families determine which device will best meet their needs and interests?

Staying connected just got easier for older adults living in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland, thanks to a new partnership between GrandPad, Orange Belgium and Ericsson. The partnership will allow GrandPad, creator of the first purpose-built tablet for older adults, to offer the Orange Belgium 4G LTE connectivity service powered by Ericsson's IoT Accelerator Platform to older adults who use GrandPad to stay connected with family, friends, and caregivers.

Even before COVID-19, loneliness among older adults was a significant concern. In fact, reports showed that in 2019, Americans over the age of 60 spent more than half their waking hours alone. COVID-19 physical distancing restrictions have magnified this problem, causing increased feelings of loneliness, isolation, depression and anxiety among all age groups, with older adults being at heightened risk. GrandPad, creator of the purpose-built tablet designed for seniors, is offering tips for connecting with family members and older adults.
