Rochelle, born and raised in Orange County, California. Her mother passed away when she was young and was raised under the loving care of her grandparents along with her two sisters. Her grandparents raised them to love one another and take care of each other which is why she has that close bond with her sisters. She experienced a close-knit family environment that would shape her future dedication to family values.
Upon getting married and with the support of her husband, Rochelle made a significant life decision and chose to take on the responsibility of caring for her aging grandparents, the very people who had raised her from childhood.
Rochelle along with her husband, finds tremendous joy in raising her three daughters and has dedicated her life to nurturing and loving them the way she was nurtured and loved by her grandparents. Rochelle has been so blessed with a BIG family that includes both her family, her husband Ryan’s family who she deeply loves and who inspire her to be who she is today.

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.
