GrandCare Brings Remote Supports to Life at Rhode Island’s ATCNE Conference
If you’re attending the Assistive Technology Conference of New England (ATCNE) on November 20th, get ready for an inspiring day! From 10a – 3:45p, you’ll have the chance to explore the latest in assistive technology and meet some incredible innovators who are making a real difference in the transformation of care services.
We at GrandCare are excited to be part of the action! Stop by our booth to experience how our remote supports and person-centered enabling technology empower independence and connection.
Our GrandCare System is a simple, touchscreen-based hub that does so much more than you might expect. It helps people stay on top of daily routines with reminders, video check-ins, and telehealth tools. Care teams can monitor vitals, receive motion alerts, and even share video modeling for everyday tasks—all from an easy-to-use caregiver dashboard that works on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Come see GrandCare in action! Our team will be there to demo the technology, answer your questions about remote supports and funding, and of course, hand out some fun giveaways.
And don’t miss the educational breakout sessions happening throughout the day. We’re especially excited that GrandCare’s own Scott Feldstein will be sharing his insights during the midday sessions—you won’t want to miss it!
Tech-Enabled Caregiving with Remote Supports: The How, the Why and the ROI
November 20, 11:15am – 12:30pm
About This Session
Although it is often associated with the military, the term “force multiplier” simply means something that allows a small group of people to do something that would ordinarily take a larger number of people to do. Smart home, sensors and touchscreen-based technologies can be YOUR force multiplier, allowing your organization to support more people without hiring more staff. AND your clients will enjoy a more self-directed, independent lifestyle.
This session will help your agency understand why it’s best for you to provide your OWN remote supports instead of outsourcing to a third party and how it can save your organization money while improving client care and independence.

Picture Yourself With GrandCare
HIPAA-compliant video chat allows for face-to-face communication with caregivers. A check-in button allows the user to check in with staff.
For 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.
Providers are facing staffing shortages and high turnover while the number of people requiring support is increasing. The Pew Research center reports up to 1 in 4 Adults face some type of disability in America today. The answer isn’t to recruit harder, it’s to work smarter. And when you’re armed with high-tech, high-touch products, you can! In this session we’ll explore the spectrum of technology options from medication management to fall detection to smart touchscreens and smart stoves. We’ll talk about Smart Tech-enabled Living, a new model of value-based care that is saving organizations real dollars, improving independence and reducing onsite caregiving hours without sacrificing safety. What should you expect? How do you pay for it and when do you start seeing the return on investment?
Stop by our booth for a fun wine tasting and candy pairing! Plus, we’ll be giving away a beach bag bundle full of goodies.
