Francis Johnson
Regional Director
Francis Johnson, our Woman of Many Hats, views road blocks as opportunities. Opportunities to build and achieve something phenomenal. She vigorously encourages her team and anyone she comes in contact with to build continuously and improve as they go through life. Personal tragedy equipped her with the strength and knowledge to anticipate the challenges our clients and Caregivers often face. Experience has given her the wisdom and compassion to understand those challenges and help come up with innovative solutions that are proactive and not reactive.
“If I had to sum up my experience with Griswold Home Care in one word it would be SIGNIFICANT. Each client has made a SIGNIFICANT impact on my life. I have learned so much from those that have been kind enough to lend me their wisdom.” “No man is an island entire of itself.”-John Donne

In Your Community
We’re in This Together
Our team is dedicated to improving the well-being of our community through serving those who need assistance to live where they love. We are active in the neighborhood, so you’ll see us around town at events, participating in associations and meetings, and supporting local organizations inside and outside the care industry. We firmly believe in our ability to create a happier and healthier place to live through the connections we make with the people in our community.
Jean’s Story
In 1982, Dr. Jean Griswold founded our company at her dining room table in a small suburb of Philadelphia. She found out that an elderly woman in her community had died of complications because she had no support system for care. Jean felt this was an easily preventable tragedy and was driven to find a solution by pairing Caregivers with those who could not thrive in their homes alone. She was a true visionary, establishing one of the first and most successful non-medical home care organizations in the country, despite being wheelchair-bound due to Multiple Sclerosis. Over 40 years later, her legacy lives on nationwide.
Scholarship
Where would we be without Caregivers? Their selflessness is astounding, yet they are often overlooked and underappreciated. The Jean Griswold Foundation is dedicated to supporting Caregivers, the backbone of the care industry. We provide educational scholarships so Care Professionals can further their training, enhance their skills, elevate their careers, and better assist the people they serve.
