I grew up believing that having a caring, giving, loving nature is key to developing relationships within my community. I attribute much of that to my parents, who positively influenced the lives of hundreds of children during their forty years as educators. But more recently, another deeply personal situation influenced me to join the Griswold Home Care family.
For several years, I have been the primary caregiver for my girlfriend who has a chronic and debilitating illness. There are many blessings and challenges that come with providing care for a loved one, and through my own experiences I know exactly what you are going through. There is a large time commitment and numerous daily tasks that one must take on to care for a disabled or elderly family member, but more importantly, there is the emotional toll. There’s anxiety, frustration, mental and physical exhaustion, and the strain it puts on other relationships, just to name a few of the stressors family caregivers feel. I understand and live it daily.
I have always prided myself on connecting easily with seniors, so working in the home care industry fits perfectly with who I am and what I love to do. My passion is to provide customized exceptional care for your loved ones so they can age with dignity and grace while living independently in their homes. My goal is to relieve the burden from family members who are currently caring for their loved ones or who are constantly worrying about them. Rest assured that as needs change over time, so will the level of care that we will provide through our wonderful caregivers and staff.
When I am not working, I am very active in my church community at The Crossing in Chesterfield, and I also enjoy golfing. I look forward to meeting you and making your life easier with our outstanding service and quality care.
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.
