In Your Community
We’re in This Together
Whether you're leaf-peeping and listening to the symphony in the Berkshires, spending a warm summer day picnicking at the Quabbin Reservoir, learning the history of local sports at the International Volleyball Hall of Fame or Basketball Hall of Fame during a chilly winter weekend, or enjoying fine dining and nightlife in Northampton in April, Western Massachusetts is truly one of a kind regardless of the season. There is something for everyone, from quiet little towns to bustling cities with over 150,000 residents, Western Massachusetts has something for everyone.
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.
