Users can browse the Internet on a GrandCare system. Caregivers set up a list of websites the loved ones can access. This is both for ease-of-use and for security purposes. For users with stronger Internet skills, the websites can include Internet search engines, web-based email accounts, or Facebook. For users with fewer Internet skills, the websites might be ones that you know the loved one will want to use, perhaps for a local church, or an online newspaper, or a store. The websites can also include family videos uploaded to YouTube, favorite music videos, picture sites, or music sites. | Users can browse the Internet on a GrandCare system.

For users with fewer Internet skills, the websites might be ones that you know the loved one will want to use, perhaps for a local church, or an online newspaper, or a store. The websites can also include family videos uploaded to YouTube, favorite music videos, picture sites, or music sites.
