Griswold Care Pairing
Referring Caregivers for Peace of Mind
At Griswold Care Pairing for North Central Pennsylvania, we refer compassionate Caregivers to those who want support to live where they love. With over four decades of experience and a storied legacy of compassion and integrity, we focus on the people we meet and the connections we make right here in our own community. It is our privilege to refer Caregivers who support your unique needs with respect, empathy, and dedicated attention so you can Live Assured, without the weight of worry.
Griswold is an award-winning pioneer in pairing you with qualified in-home Caregivers. We believe Care Professionals are the foundation of our success, and our commitment to innovation is based on our desire to improve the lives of everyone we touch as we serve this community. Our referred Caregivers may provide services like personal care, homemaking, companionship, and support for those with conditions, illnesses, or injuries.
Meet Your Team
Andrew Hefflinger
Director
I’m Andrew Hefflinger, and I was raised in the state of Washington as one of four boys. My father was a farmer who grew hops and my mother was an early childhood educator. My work ethic can be traced to the first time that I told my dad I needed some money. He responded by gladly putting me to work with a crew working the hop fields. The value of a dollar became firmly entrenched.
My career in Manufacturing of Consumer Products in California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania was a precursor to my desire to own and operate my own home care business. It is important to us that our business is directly connected to our country’s growing senior population and that it creates jobs while providing a valuable service to our community.
Whether you’re looking for live-in care, respite care, senior care, or disability care, my team and I are here to help by referring you to the perfect caregiver for your family.

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.
