Time to Power Up Your Remote Supports, Kansas!

Do you want to power up your remote supports? Maybe your agency has already started incorporating technology that allows you to provide support remotely. Or maybe you’ve just started learning about the remote support model and wonder how it all works and what options are available. If so, we want to help you learn more!

GrandCare Systems will be exhibiting and speaking at InterHab’s Power Up! Conference this October, and we can’t wait to show you how remote supports can not only provide greater independence for people with disabilities, but also allows you to support more people without more staff.

Join GrandCare and ShiftAbility for a breakout session on how to provide your OWN remote supports to serve more clients, save money and improve client independence. See us on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 3:00pm in Konza Prairie C.

About GrandCare’s Remote Support Platform

The GrandCare touchscreen is a stationary, internet-connected device that a person with disabilities uses to receive some or all of their support for daily living. GrandCare pairs with a large variety of remote support devices such as motion detectors, door sensors and cameras. Information from these sensors are recorded and can be accessed remotely through the caregiver portal via a computer, laptop, or smartphone. Caregivers can be notified if something is amiss. You set the alert rules so you’re only notified when something is unusual (for example, motion is detected by the door sensor at 3am.)

GrandCare provides the remote support tools. You provide the remote support. No outsourcing required!

Managed Alerts screenHIPAA-compliant video chat allows for face-to-face communication with caregivers. A check-in button allows the user to check in with staff.

Data from Bluetooth health devices such as blood pressure devices, pulse oximeters, thermometers and scales can be viewed through the caregiver portal, and parameters set to send notifications when the data indicates intervention is needed.

GrandCare Systems’ technology also enables individuals to self-support through ADL and medication prompts, and provides entertainment tailored to their interest through videos, photos, games, and more.

To Do Reminder - mailFor more than 20 years, GrandCare has been providing remote support tools and assistive technology, and we’re always improving our platform and providing more features as technology continues to advance. We live in a very exciting time for remote supports and have been thrilled to see it embraced by more staff and clients every year.

If you’d like to experience our technology hands-on, please stop at our booth. We’d be happy to answer any questions you have about how to integrate the remote support model into your agency.

We hope to see you there! Follow the conversation on social media: #interhabpowerup2025

What makes GrandCare a great assistive technology and remote support tool?

GrandCare is a touchscreen and sensor-based monitoring technology that allows remote caregivers, family, or guardians to remotely monitor various sensor activities throughout the home (motion, door, temperature) as well as telehealth devices (blood pressure, weight, pulse ox, glucose). Caregivers can choose how and when to receive alerts based on pre-set parameters (e.g. if an individual gets out of bed in the middle of the night, call, email or text their designated caregiver).

The GrandCare touchscreen is typically mounted in several rooms of the house to support the individual with room-related tasks, daily schedule and one touch caregiver access from those rooms. Sensors and cameras can be placed inside and outside the home.

Most individuals will have a GrandCare touchscreen in the kitchen with recipes, kitchen safety tips and step-by-step videos. A bathroom touchscreen might have hygiene-related videos. All GrandCare touchscreens are personally customized by the GrandCare team specifically for the individual with to do task lists (e.g. brush your teeth, take a shower, take out the garbage), room specific how-to videos, daily schedule of events and entertainment personalized options such as hobby pictures, entertainment videos (locked-down youtube videos based on interests).

Our online portal allows caregivers to receive alerts on their desktop computer, iPad, or phone.

GrandCare is NOT a personal emergency response system, a fall detection system or a fire prevention system. We provide a system to help individuals be more independent and self supporting while designated family/caregivers can remotely monitor and support the individual.
