Meet Your Team
Lynette Chandler-Roslansky
Director
During the long commute to my employment in downtown Los Angeles where I worked extremely long days, I had time to reflect about what I actually wanted from a career. I enjoyed my work and did not mind the long hours, but there were no intrinsic rewards and the position seemed somewhat empty in that sense, which led me to pursue a change in occupation.
I wanted something more, and I was also intrigued with the challenge of working for myself. As I populated a list of business ideas and opportunities, one prospect fascinated me to the point that I thought about it none-stop, home care. At Griswold Home Care, I would actually be directly helping individuals, and the appeal was too great to pass up. Although the right opportunity meant relocating across the country, I was ready for it!
Making a difference in people’s lives was the actual incentive I was looking for, and twenty years later, I enjoy it more than ever as I now help my own family with home care. As our office has grown over the years, I still make it my priority to work directly with the caregivers and our clients on a daily basis. The work is challenging but fulfilling as I have a difficult time saying “no” to anyone who needs help. If someone is in need of home care for themselves or a loved one, I know that, by working together, we can make it an agreeable and dignified experience for the client. After twenty years of helping others, I still find myself reflecting on the way to work, but now it is about the level of satisfaction my career brings me on a regular basis.

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.
