Smarter Care for Healthier Aging
The Gray Birch Foundation helps senior care organizations adopt technologies that improve safety, communication, and quality of life for older adults. Our approach is grounded in listening first—understanding the real challenges faced by older adults, families, and care providers. By centering their perspectives, we strive to reimagine aging as a stage of life defined by dignity, connection, and possibility.
What We Do
We partner with senior care organizations of every type - from independent living and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing facilities to make modern, human-centered technology accessible to those who need it most.
Helping Seniors
Communication
We help care communities choose and access simple, accessible tools like video calling systems and voice assistants, enabling seniors to stay connected with loved ones and caregivers.
Fall Detection/Prevention
We test and vet fall detection tools, and then work with senior care providers to adopt the best solutions affordably.
Engagement/Wellbeing
We evaluate and recommend technology that supports mental stimulation, social interaction, and emotional wellness — helping seniors feel seen, valued, and active.
Helping Senior Care Facilities
People
We support staffing solutions, staff retention initiatives, and comprehensive training programs to empower caregivers and ensure high-quality care.
Facilities
We help select security, surveillance, payroll, and operational systems that keep facilities running safely and efficiently.
Why It Matters
of falls in nursing homes are reported. Many occur without even basic detection systems. We help care teams adopt reliable fall detection tools that improve safety and response time.
of seniors in care communities lack tools to stay in touch with loved ones. We help implement accessible communication technologies that keep residents connected.
of older adults say their social and emotional needs aren’t being met. We support adoption of tools that help residents feel seen, valued, and engaged.
How We Help
We partner with vendors, test their technologies, and identify the most effective tools for seniors and the organizations that support them. Once vetted, we help senior care communities access these solutions at discounted rates and enable hands-on training so staff and residents can use them with confidence.
