Video Calling

Video Chat with a Healthcare Professional

GrandCare's Video Calling is a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform. These video calls are placed to the system directly through the Online Care Portal and are encrypted to protect privacy. Anyone who would like to have a video chat with the resident needs to be a User on the Online Care Portal.

Making a Video Call

You must be logged into the Online Care Portal in order to make, or to receive a video call. Make sure that your computer volume is not muted, and that you have a working microphone and web cam on your computer.

Before You Begin

For quality purposes, Google Chrome® or Mozilla Firefox® web browsers should be used for video calls.

The first time you place a call to the touchscreen, your browser will ask for your permission to use your web cam and audio. You must select "Allow" or "Yes" to continue.

Important: Without a webcam or audio connection the call will automatically fail.
