Grandie is an innovative virtual companion feature designed for the GrandPad tablet, specifically tailored to meet the needs of seniors. It provides users with a wealth of knowledge, interactive activities, and engaging conversation experiences. Grandie’s capabilities include answering questions on a variety of topics, from trivia and history to cooking tips and gardening advice. It also offers age-appropriate jokes, brain teasers, uplifting quotes, and stories about remarkable individuals. Users can explore hobbies, crafts, different cultures, and languages, or enjoy poems and travel stories. Grandie can be enabled by the Family Administrator through the Applications Menu of GrandPad Central or Admin Tools within the companion app.
Grandie is exclusively available on the GrandPad tablet. The GrandPad device itself is priced at $299, or it can be financed with $11 down and $12 per month at 0 percent interest. A refurbished model is also available for $279. For those who prepay for a year, the service is available at $65 per month, which amounts to $780 for 12 months. Grandie can be activated by existing GrandPad customers via the applications menu in GrandPad Central or the mobile app. For new customers, the GrandPad tablet—along with Grandie—can be purchased directly through the official website.
