Meet Your Team
Susan C. Boesger
Director
I am Susan Boesger, and I’m proud to live in Ohio with my husband, Jeff, and our family.
I began my career as an attorney in Florida, helping clients with end-of-life planning, wills, and trusts. I traveled to clients’ homes to meet them and their families where they felt most comfortable. I enjoyed learning about their individual needs, and I loved knowing I could help alleviate a small part of their stress by giving them the information they needed to protect themselves and their families as they aged.
Over the years, I served as a volunteer on the boards of the American Cancer Society, the Samaritan Center for Homeless Families, and Habitat for Humanity. But it wasn’t until I helped care for a grandfather with Alzheimer’s that I fully understood the challenges families face in allowing a senior to age at home. Becoming part of the Griswold family – along with members of my own family – has felt like a natural extension of my career and my desire to care for others. I’m looking forward to meeting our new clients and being able to help them maintain independent lives with happiness and dignity.
Jeffrey A. Boesger
Director
My name is Jeff Boesger, and I am an Ohio native. I have four children – two boys and two girls – and live in the Columbus area with my wife, Susan, and one teenage son.
Growing up, my parents impressed upon me the value of service to others as we participated in our church, serving at various levels. Family was always important, and I have fond memories of the many family gatherings that always centered around my grandparents. Watching them age – and watching my own parents age since then – has given me a new perspective into the independence and dignity all people deserve as they grow older.
My career in the service industry began when I entered the military, serving in both Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Since then, I have viewed my career through the lens of helping others with their most basic needs: food, work, and shelter. I have never forgotten my roots, including the lessons that years of family service taught me, and wanted to share those values with my own children. Then my daughter, Jen, introduced me to Griswold Home Care. I quickly realized their values aligned with my own and decided to shift my career to helping seniors live better, more independent lives.
I am proud of our family-run home care service. We can help your family, whether you need a few hours of respite care, full-time live-in care, or something in between. We look forward to being your resource for your home care needs.

Director
I’m Jennifer Boesger, and I currently live in Ohio with my husband, John, and our two children.
My greatest joys are helping others and making great matches between caregivers and clients! And Griswold Home Care has given me a career that allows me to do both. I started working for Griswold in 2010 as a CNA with Griswold Home Care in Pinellas County, Florida. Each client had their own needs, and I worked hard to make sure those needs were met in a caring manner that respected their autonomy.
After several years as a CNA, I decided that, although I loved providing care for my clients, I wanted to do more. In 2016, I was offered a staff position where I began serving as a Care Coordinator. This position allowed me to dedicate myself to making sure our clients have the care they need at home, from the caregivers they love. That task remains my passion. So when my father asked me to help him start a Griswold Home Care business in Ohio, I didn’t have to think twice. I’m looking forward to working with my family and helping even more people find the perfect caregiver match.
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.
