Frequently Asked Questions

What does Griswold Home Care do?

Founded in 1982 by Jean Griswold, Griswold Home Care is the nation’s oldest non-medical home care franchise. As an industry pioneer, we help families by connecting them with professional Caregivers who provide care services, including personal care, homemaking, and companionship.

Compassion and care have always guided our work. We take pride in helping seniors remain comfortably and safely in the homes they love.

Do your Caregivers work for you?

Yes, our Caregivers are W2 employees. They enjoy great benefits, including healthcare, 401(k), Next-Day Pay, overtime, biweekly pay, and ongoing training and development. We show our appreciation through robust recognition programs and opportunities for growth, helping them build rewarding careers.

When should a family consider Home Care?

Consider Home Care if a loved one:

• Is living with certain conditions, illnesses, or injuries
• Is at risk for falls
• Needs help with daily activities
• Lives alone and needs support
• Is a Veteran or has a family Caregiver who needs a break

How are Caregivers matched with seniors?

We carefully match each Caregiver to your loved one based on their needs, personality, and required care.

How many hours of Home Care are usually needed?

Everyone’s care needs are unique, but common schedules are:

• 6-8 hours a day for support needs
• Overnight or evening support to decrease fall risk
• Live-in care for those who benefit from a Caregiver staying in the home and providing steady, day-to-day support
• 24/7 assistance for those needing ongoing supervision

Can Home Care be used at the same time as Home Health?

Yes. In fact, this is very common. Home Health addresses medical needs, while Home Care supports daily living and safety. Used together, they help prevent falls and reduce family Caregiver burnout.
