Mary Jane Gorman
Director
My name is Mary Jane Gorman and I am proud to be a part of the Griswold Home Care family since 2008 as the owner of the Metro Detroit office. I was raised in Cleveland Heights Ohio. As the oldest daughter in a family of 8 children, I learned about caring, security and dignity at an early age. It was through watching my parent’s example that I knew about commitment, hard work, contentment and a God-centered life. I was taught to give more than I took, to be honest, trustworthy and to work for what I wanted. My large family provided me with much fun and laughter, a fair amount of mischief and a sense of responsibility for myself and others.
These life lessons have allowed me to be successful in marriage, to raise three amazing daughters who have provided me with four astounding grandchildren, to enjoy a life that has been filled with blessings and trials and to have been allowed to spend over 20 years in service to the elderly and to hospice.
When my mother came to the end of her life and decided on hospice care, we were privileged to have our first encounter with Griswold Home Care. My mom’s Griswold-referred caregiver gave to her what my mom had given to us all of her life: loving care, security and dignity. I learned that this caregiver wasn’t an exception; she was what Griswold Home Care stood for, and I wanted to be a part of that.
With our personal experience foremost in our minds, I, my daughter Megan and my husband Jim are committed to referring caregivers for other families with the same compassionate care that we received. We promise to treat our clients with honesty and integrity and to respect the wishes of those clients and families that we are privileged to serve.
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.
