Mara Gonzalez
Co-owner and Managing Director
It is very natural and expected in my culture to care for the elderly. I remember as a young girl growing up in the Philippines, we would visit a home for the elderly which here would be similar to a senior living facility. We would offer to do small tasks for them, talk to them or entertain them with our singing or dancing. When my father became ill with cancer, I took a leave from work to care for him until his final moments.
When I learned about Griswold and what they do, it was the perfect timing. I was thinking about my aging mother who lives alone in another state and how I can care for her. Opening a Griswold office will give me the tools I need to care for my mom as well as to care for the older adults here in our community of Santa Clarita. My mom also worked as a caregiver in the last few years of her professional life. I know the challenges that she went through as a caregiver. Now I am able to provide jobs and pass on my knowledge and skills to our employees.

I believe everyone deserves to age and heal with dignity in the comfort of the place they call home. Let us help you create a haven of peace and well-being.

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.
