Our Legacy
Papa Fred
One Button Call was founded as Fred Grist grew increasingly isolated in the memory care wing of an assisted living facility. As his Alzheimer's progressed, his ability to use a computer, tablet or phone diminished so his family created One Button Call to make communication far more simple.
Fred had family nearby, but two of his three kids were living outside of his state and several grandkids were living hours away.
Fred loves Italian Opera and missed having an easy way to listen to and watch Pavarotti! Early attempts to create a simple interface were only partially successful so the design was updated to only include features that folks dealing with cognitive decline could use while also building in the admin tools that allowed remote loved ones to easily curate content for him.

Founder
Fred's son, Bo Grist, founded One Button Call to help families stay connected affordably without being locked in to a proprietary hardware device and an expensive recurring monthly cost. OBC's mission statement is: We are not trying to make millions of dollars, we are trying to help millions of families.
Bo spent his 30-year career as a technology entrepreneur and was the first employee or a co-founder in 3 different startups where he led over 120 E-commerce implementations for brands including Ethan Allen, Tory Burch, Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, 1-800PetMeds, Sally Beauty, Woolrich, FUBU, Oreck Vacuums, The WWE, Floor & Decor.....and many more!
Bo is also the Director of the non-profit Central Virginia SBDC, an organization based in Charlottesville, Virginia designed to help small business grow.
