Joy: Senior Care Tablet
Video calls + reminders + AI
Free
iPad
Turn any iPad into a simple, safe care device for the older adults in your life.
Joy Senior Care Tablet transforms an everyday iPad into a dedicated senior-care tablet — with auto-answering video calls, friendly reminders, an AI companion, and a digital photo frame that keeps family present all day long.
Built for older adults who find tablets confusing. Loved by the adult children, spouses, and caregivers who set everything up from across town or across the country.
WHAT JOY DOES FOR YOUR PARENT
Auto-answers video calls from approved family members — no tapping, swiping, or unlocking
Delivers medication and appointment reminders at the right time of day
Plays a slideshow of family photos whenever the tablet is idle
Provides friendly companionship through "Joy," an AI who offers verbal conversation, jokes, trivia, guided painting, and brain teasers
Joins scheduled family Zoom calls automatically — no links, no meeting IDs
Invites older adults into free live classes through Discover Live, The Loop Village, and Senior Planet
Shows one clear screen at a time, so there's no getting lost in menus
WHAT JOY DOES FOR YOU, THE CAREGIVER
Set up the whole experience from your phone using the free ONSCREEN Family app
Add unlimited family and friends to the approved caller list
Schedule reminders, routines, and check-ins remotely
See daily wellness check-ins: medications taken, meals eaten, mood, pain, activity

Sleep better knowing the tablet never wanders into other apps or settings
