Beth Walrich
Director
My name is Beth Walrich and I am pleased to introduce myself as the Director of the Griswold Home Care offices in Nashville, TN. I grew up in Atlanta, GA but now call Nashville my home. A lot of the foundation of who I am has been greatly influenced and inspired by my grandmother, who was a very generous and caring woman. She was my biggest fan, as I was hers. My favorite memories, from childhood to adulthood, include my grandmother. When she became ill my family all banded together to take care of her. As her illness progressed, her needs for help increased. I come from a large family and we still did not have enough people to cover all the time needed, but everyone was determined to keep her at home. Having that experience was an eye opener for me on what a family goes through to take care of a love one.
I was drawn to Griswold Home Care’s philosophy of referring caregivers to help people to take care of their loved ones. By now working with the organization, I feel I am continuing to honor my grandmother’s memory. I opened the first Griswold Home Care office in Tennessee in 2001. Since, I have helped thousands of families in the Nashville area. My husband, Tim Walrich, joined me in running the business in 2008. We each became Certified Senior Advisors (CSA’s). This designation provides additional knowledge and resources for us to better assist our clients and their families when facing the difficult challenge of arranging care for a loved one.
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.
