Penn Medicine & Griswold: Home Care Solutions

Did you know that Penn Medicine and Chester County Hospital provide essential home health care services to seniors in need?

Griswold works closely with healthcare professionals at Penn Medicine and Chester County Hospital to support seniors at home. By working together with hospitals, we help make the transition from medical to everyday care smoother, so seniors can remain comfortable and independent.

Understanding Home Health Care and Non-Medical Home Care

Home health care delivers medical services at home, typically following hospitalization or a new diagnosis. Prescribed by a physician, this type of care includes skilled support from nurses or therapists. Services often include wound care, therapy, skilled nursing, and assistance with medications.

Non-medical home care focuses on helping individuals remain independent at home by supporting daily activities and providing companionship. Services can include assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and transportation. For seniors who do not require medical attention but need support with daily living, Griswold offers a wide range of non-medical care services, including post-surgery and rehabilitation care support.

Penn Medicine provides hospital-level care at home with skilled nurses and therapists. They serve southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
