Overview
Users can browse the Internet on a GrandCare system. Caregivers first 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, Facebook, etc. For users with fewer Internet skills, the websites might be ones that you know your 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.
Setting Up Websites
To add websites to the system:
- Log in to GCManage
- Open the Care Menu
- Click the "Touchscreen" button
- At the bottom of the Touchscreen window is the Favorite Websites section. This is where you will add websites to the system.
- For each website, choose a category, enter a description, then enter the complete URL (including the http portion), and then if this is a multi-resident system, select the resident.
- Click the "Save Favorites" button to save
