grandPad ®, respected for its ongoing commitment to seniors, is excited to announce an industry revolutionizing partnership with Comfort Keepers ® , a widely recognized leading provider of quality in-home care for seniors and other adults.
Starting in late April of 2016, Comfort Keepers will begin integrating grandPad senior tablets into its core services for seniors. This partnership allows Comfort Keepers, a Sodexo brand, long known for driving advances in the in-home care industry, to continue making innovations to senior care with the incorporation of transformational technology that improves its clients’ quality of life.
grandPad senior tablets make the world more accessible to seniors by providing simple and safe ways to stay connected with family, friends and caregivers. The grandPad offers access to games, photo sharing, video chat and more.
“We are thrilled to partner with Comfort Keepers and help bring the power of grandPad to the seniors that they serve.” said Scott Lien, CEO and Cofounder of grandPad. “We see tremendous possibilities ahead.”
Together, grandPad and Comfort Keepers will facilitate communication between seniors and their families by incorporating technology as a gateway, rather than a barrier. With easy access to photo streams, email and video calling, seniors will be able to stay up-to-date on the activities of their family members and quickly reach out to loved ones by sending emails or making video calls.
By integrating the grandPad into its core services, Comfort Keepers will also be able to more easily keep a client’s entire family informed on the condition, recovery and needs of their loved one. With more than 30,000 clients and more than 700 franchised offices globally operating under the Comfort Keepers and Amelis brands, this partnership allows Comfort Keepers to continue to transform the way in-home senior care is approached.
“Our partnership with grandPad is going to revolutionize the inhome care industry by using technology as a conduit for providing the highest quality of care possible,” said Sarosh Mistry, CEO of CK Franchising, Inc., the franchisor of the Comfort Keepers and Amelis brands. “The independence and empowerment afforded to seniors through the use of a grandPad could not be more congruent with the Comfort Keepers brand promise to enrich the lives of our clients as we enable them to maintain the highest level of quality of life. This announcement is about so much more than technology; it’s about truly leading the industry with innovative and empowering solutions for seniors who want to age in place while staying connected and active in the lives of their families and friends.”
