If your organization is like most other disability support agencies, staffing is a problem. For some, being fully staffed again seems out of reach. But what if you could support more people with only the staff you already have? What if you could do it while promoting the independence of the people you serve? GrandCare technology makes both of these things possible.

GrandCare is a remote monitoring and remote support platform that helps people with disabilities live more independently. It is a touchscreen-based platform with automated medication and ADL prompts, video instruction, and one-touch video calls to your remote support team. GrandCare also uses motion and door sensors to alert remote support that someone might need assistance. It is a fully-featured telehealth platform so people can better manage their chronic health conditions. And GrandCare also has engaging games and entertainment that is customizable to suit everyone’s taste and interests.

Who can benefit from GrandCare Systems?

Almost everyone can use GrandCare for increased independence and improved quality of life. The touchscreen offers self-supporting prompts, entertainment, and communication. Some individuals may transition to remote supports using GrandCare activity and health sensors. Your staff will benefit at point-of-care and while remotely supporting clients.

How do I use the technology?

GrandCare helps individuals to support themselves while enabling providers to offer remote supports and video chat check-ins.

One Ohio-based GrandCare customer went from a 6:1 staff to individual ratio to 21:1 using GrandCare technology and remote supports (see Xavier University study.)

In the below scenario, it takes 8.3 caregivers to provide traditional in-person care to 50 people. Shifting to a remote supports model only requires 2.4 caregivers to serve these same 50 people which saves 4,248 support hours and $84,960 per month*. PLUS, you have freed up 5.9 caregivers to take on new referrals and help those who require in-person support.

Traditional v.s. remote supports model

Traditional Support Model

• 50 people served
• 8.3 staff x 24 hours x 30 days
• 5,976 in-person support hours per month

Remote Supports Model

• 50 people served
• 2.4 staff x 24 hrs 30 days
• 1,728 remote support hours per month
• COST SAVINGS: $84,960 per month (These results are based on the above cited Xavier Study results. Your results may differ.)

Many of your clients may need occasional help in the overnight hours, but maybe not every single night and it certainly isn’t necessarily all night. Having a staff member on site for an eight hour shift every single night is a very costly and inefficient way to solve for this kind of need. With GrandCare, you can mitigate costs, leverage your team, and better serve your clients.
