Meet Your Team
Mirza Donegan
Director
My name is Mirza Donegan, and I am the director of Griswold Home Care for Silver Spring – Montgomery County North in Maryland. Growing up in a military family in San Antonio, Texas, I had the chance to travel and live in various states. Now, I have the privilege of supporting many military families in their home care needs, which is an honor for me. Before joining Griswold home care, I served as the marketing director at the North Bethesda transportation center. My journey into in-home care began when a family member faced dementia and needed assistance. This experience showed me the comfort that remaining at home can bring savoring tea, reading the newspaper in the sunroom, and watching sports together. Learning about our founder, Jean Griswold, further deepened my commitment to helping individuals stay in homes they cherish.

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.
