Care Coordinator
" My journey into healthcare began with one of the greatest honors of my life: caring for my mother before her passing. Through that experience, I discovered a deep sense of purpose and a calling to help others in their time of need. For over 15 years, I’ve been blessed to do this work, and it has brought incredible joy and fulfillment to my life. Every day, I’m reminded of how rewarding it is to bring comfort, healing, and hope to those I serve. Now, I’m truly honored to be part of the Griswold family, where I can continue sharing that love and care with all of you.”

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.

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.
