Meet Your Team
Christy Nuss
Director
Christy Nuss is the Director of Home Care services for the NEPA office of Griswold Home Care. She began her career with Griswold Home Care in 2001 as a Care Coordinator and was promoted to Director in 2016. She was born and raised in NEPA and Christy believes the home care industry found her. In her own words, “When I was an young adult, home care was a fairly new option for aging and disabled individuals and I remember my aunt saying she wished my great-grandmother could have been cared for at home because it would have preserved her dignity and independence. I knew I wanted to work in a field where I could help people to get the care they needed.” Christy and her incredible team feel most rewarded when they witness the quality of care they’re providing to clients. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with husband, Jeremie, son, Nicholas, and her 2 basset hounds Bonnie and Clyde.

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.
