Director
Hello, I am Cathy Ricker, the proud owner and operator of the Griswold Home Care Summit-Southern Cuyahoga office in North Royalton, Ohio. Before joining the Griswold franchise family, I worked within the Human Relations department of several large corporations. As time passed, I became increasingly unfulfilled by my corporate role and overwhelmingly inclined to find a truly rewarding career.
I did not have dreams of owning my own non-medical home care business as a child. However what I did and still do have, is an eternal soft spot for the elderly people I’m so fortunate to have had touch my life. I have seen the difficulty presented by assisted living facilities and nursing homes to families and individuals. I have also witnessed the dramatic effect that the provision of quality care can have on similar situations. My eyes excitedly opened when I came across Griswold Home Care and the opportunity to grow a business that bettered people’s lives.
The Summit-Southern Cuyahoga office of Griswold Home Care pledges to refer only the most experienced, professional and proven care providers to serve senior and adult disabled members of your community. I truly recognize the height of impact that competent and compassionate care providers can make on your loved one’s physical and emotional condition. Thus, I will continue to personally refer only caregivers that I would also trust to take care of my own family.
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.
