Directors
Meet Ken Krajewski and Settie Safa, owners and operators of your local Griswold Home care office.
Ken has over twenty-five years of executive level experience in various disciplines of business. He has worked in economic development with Native American tribes and served in various positions including CEO and Board positions. Ken became a widower after twenty-five years of marriage. He also has years of experience as a family Caregiver. This was a profound experience that led Ken to helping those in need of care.
Settie has over twenty-eight years of experience in the corporate world that led her to starting her own marketing and printing businesses. Settie was also a family Caregiver for a loved one for many years (who eventually died from cancer several years ago), while also raising her children. As a member of the Sandwich Generation, Settie understands the impact Caregiving has on the lives of others and how home care can lessen the burden and stress that families may feel when caring for a loved one.
Both Ken’s and Settie’s individual experiences reawakened their compassion to help those in need. As a result, Ken and Settie fulfilled their mutual concern while volunteering at a local center that cared for the elderly and disabled. Realizing the impact they had as volunteers, Ken and Settie found their passion in home care and look forward to referring Caregivers to serve the Bellevue-Washington community.
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.
