We are very excited to announce our new partnership with Lifeguard. A simple, private technology to help you stay connected to what matters: your loved one’s wellbeing.

What is Lifeguard?

Every family wants reassurance that their loved one is not only safe, but comfortable and doing well day to day. That’s why Lifeguard is part of the care provided by Griswold. Lifeguard uses a discreet system: no cameras, no microphones, and nothing to wear to understand general patterns like sleep, movement, and daily routines. When something seems unusual, such as a long period of inactivity, our 24/7 Lifeguard Alert Center reaches out to make sure everything is okay. It’s a simple, private way to stay connected to what matters: your loved one’s wellbeing. Griswold and Lifeguard work together to help your loved one feel safe, supported, and independent at home while giving families and care teams insights into daily wellbeing.

  • Earlier Detection – before a crisis develops, we can identify changes to daily routines, nutrition, sleep, and mobility.
  • Faster Intervention – when changes in wellbeing are detected, we are able to respond quicker.
  • Better Continuity of Care – we are able to provide families, care managers, and healthcare providers with objective insights.
  • More Time Safely at Home – continue to be independent and age in place.

How does it work?

Seamless Setup: The system plugs into four outlets in the home. It blends naturally into the environment and requires nothing from your loved one. No wearables, no buttons, and no changes to routines.

Understanding Daily Routines: Lifeguard is able to recognize daily patterns, such as hygiene, sleep quality, movement, kitchen usage, and time spent in different rooms. These insights allow us to provide Care Managers with a clearer picture of how someone is doing day-to-day without being intrusive.

Clear, Helpful Wellness Updates: We receive and can send wellness summaries that highlight trends or changes. This allows our care team to respond early, adapt support if needed, and ensure your loved one continues to thrive at home.

Always-On Reassurance: Our Lifeguard Alert Center is available 24/7. If something appears out of the ordinary, we’re there to respond quickly and coordinate with your family, Care Manager, and/or healthcare provider.

The Griswold-Lifeguard Advantage

  • More insight into well-being between Caregiver visits.
  • Earlier identification of changes that may require attention.
  • Privacy-preserving, camera-free monitoring.
  • Enhanced collaboration with families, care managers, and healthcare providers.
  • Additional support for clients who wish to age safely in the comfort of their own homes.

Griswold Can Help

Our Caregivers, and possibly in conjunction with our technology, are here to help. Whether you are a veteran receiving home care, in need of dementia support, recovering from surgery, or recovering from a fall. We offer care services that help with all of the above and more.

If you need a short break, our respite care can help. If you need more attention, our care goes all the way up to 24-hour home care for those who need support throughout the day and night. We provide home care services throughout Greensboro and the surrounding areas. Give us a call today to learn more about how we can best help you.
