Meet Your Team
Mirza Donegan
Director
My name is Mirza Donegan and I’m the Director of the Griswold Home Care of Aspen Hill-Wheaton here in Maryland. Prior to Griswold Home Care, I was the marketing director at the North Bethesda Transportation Center. I was first introduced to in-home care when a family member experienced signs of dementia and began to require home care. Through my loved one, I’ve seen the comfort that remaining in a friendly home environment can bring: having tea at home, reading the newspaper in the sunroom, and watching sports games. My appreciation for giving people the help they need to live in the place they love was further fueled after learning about our founder, Jean Griswold.

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.
