You don't need a Wi-Fi connection to use the GrandPad, a tablet with large icons and print and allows seniors access to email, calls, photos and music.

I know dozens of tech-savvy senior citizens relying on the latest technology to help with their lives.

More often than not in recent years, these increasingly high-tech adaptations in a seniors’ daily routine can make life better for both older adults and the people who love them.
