  • How much does GG Care cost?
    GG Care is free for anyone to use as long as you have the necessary devices, like an Amazon Alexa. We are adding additional services and features for customers willing to pay a low monthly subscription fee. See our pricing page for more details
  • What do I need to get started?

  • Which Alexa device should I use?
    It really depends on you as the carer and their loved one. Check out the "Devices" page by going to our website's main menu at gg.care. From the main menu, click on more then on "Devices." That said, we generally recommend the Echo Show 5 as a inexpsive device that offers a good value. It is typically sold for around 40 pounds. The Echo show has a screen and a camera that helps display instructions and facilitate video calls. If you are looking for a cheaper and simpler Alexa device, the Echo Dot provides great value for the money, but has no screen.

GG Care's Drink Reminder Demo, enabled by Alexa

Someone with dementia may become dehydrated if they’re unable to communicate or recognise that they’re thirsty, or if they forget to drink. This can lead to headaches, increased confusion, urinary tract infections and constipation. These can make the symptoms of dementia worse. GG Care gets Alexa to send regular automated reminders to drink. When a voice task is scheduled, the GG Care skill will gently guide the “Care Resident” with a series of questions and prompts. If the care resident needs additional assistance completing a task, Alexa can provide helpful hints. The carer can check the GG Care dashboard to see which tasks have been completed.
