Meet Your Team
Beth Copeland
Director
Beth Copeland, Director of the Salisbury office, has over 35 years of experience in nursing and health care. She has a Master of Science in Nursing from Duke University. Her broad experience has resulted in her passion for the elderly, specifically helping families care for their spouses, parents, or loved ones with affordable, quality care.
Like many in the senior services field, Beth’s experiences have significantly shaped her passion to serve the elderly and disabled populations on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. Beth helped care for her grandfather with cancer and congestive heart failure during the many years of his illness. His only wish was to be cared for at home, but there was no home care where he lived, and his wife was unable to care for him by herself. Beth’s grandfather died in the hospital, but desperately wished he could have been at home with the support of live-in care. Beth’s grandfather’s wish has driven her passion for offering exceptional care for others in their homes.
Beth enjoys traveling, hiking, any time outdoors, and reading.

Johnna Jensen, RN
Assessment Coordinator & Special Projects
Although new to in-home care, I’ve been a nurse for 26 years, most recently in the hospice setting. I found myself at Griswold in 2023 while taking a break from the medical field. Starting in our Lewes office as a “jack of all trades”, I am excited to be able to get back to a nursing role at our Salisbury location! My favorite part as a nurse has always been being able to assist, advocate, support & comfort patients/clients & their families. Compassionate in-home care for those who want support to live where they love is what we at Griswold stand by. I look forward to guiding our clients into this step of their journey. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family & friends.

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.
