Griswold Home Care was founded over 40 years ago by Jean Griswold, a compassionate care professional who became a trailblazing entrepreneur. She launched the very first non-medical home care franchise in the United States, driven by a powerful mission: to make quality in-home care accessible to families across the country. Today, Griswold Home Care stands as one of the most respected and experienced names in the home care industry.
With decades of proven success, Griswold continues to support franchise owners nationwide, offering a business model rooted in compassion, service, and community impact. Our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction has earned us the reputation of being a trusted partner for families seeking in-home care for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or surgery.
Partnering with Griswold is simple and transparent. We believe in honest communication and a hands-on approach that helps prospective owners understand our values, support systems, and growth potential. Our goal is to match the right individuals with our brand—people who are passionate about helping others, building a fulfilling business, and becoming active members of their community.
Whether you're exploring senior home care services or considering the opportunity to own a franchise that makes a difference, Griswold Home Care provides the experience, support, and integrity you can count on.
