Griswold Announces National Partnership with Sensi.AI: Embracing Technology to Help Seniors Age Safely at Home

BLUE BELL, Pa. – Griswold, a pioneer in non-medical senior care, is thrilled to announce its national partnership with Sensi.AI, expanding the innovative 24/7 in-home technology to several new locations across the United States. This strategic alliance has been embraced by multiple offices across the U.S., with plans to roll out further within the Griswold franchise network.

“This is a preferred partnership agreement with Sensi.AI — they provide virtual monitoring around-the-clock in clients' homes, filling the void when a caregiver cannot be present,” said Griswold CEO Michael Slupecki. “This technology, simply plugged into the walls, captures audio data to detect anomalies and health risks, improving our ability to proactively adjust care plans and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. It's another way we provide peace of mind to our clients, enhancing our Live Assured promise.”

This innovative, audio-based AI technology is specially designed for in-home non-medical care settings, providing continuous monitoring and insights to ensure the health and safety of clients. The state-of-the-art 24/7 AI Virtual Care Agent by Sensi.AI is capable of detecting falls, physical distress and calls for help, as well as identifying early signs of cognitive decline, infection, medication errors and potential urinary tract infections. This empowers Griswold's caregiving teams to intervene early, manage symptoms effectively, reduce hospitalizations and enhance the overall care experience for clients.

“We always aim to provide the level of care our clients need, but sometimes there's resistance to frequent caregiving,” Slupecki said. “Sensi.AI not only provides that crucial monitoring but also validates the need for hands-on care, ensuring our clients and their families can live without the weight of worry.”

Founded in 1982, Griswold has established itself as a leader in the senior care market, with over 170 locations across the United States. The brand offers a wide range of services, including homemaking, personal care, companion care, hospice care support and more, tailored to meet the unique needs of the elderly, as well as individuals recovering from illness or injury.

“Sensi is thrilled to partner with Griswold,” said Romi Gubes, Co-Founder and CEO of Sensi.AI. “The world of care is facing critical challenges today — from caregiver shortages to soaring costs. Griswold is embracing technology in a safe and effective way that helps address these concerns and provides peace of mind to clients and their loved ones. Griswold is a shining example of the future of in-home care, leveraging AI to transform the way care is delivered.”

With this partnership, Griswold is enhancing its “Live Assured” promise, encouraging its franchise network to offer this state-of-the-art care to its clients. As part of this rollout, Griswold will support its franchisees with engagement campaigns to encourage adoption, offering co-branded materials and preferred pricing. This initiative is set to be a highlight at Griswold's upcoming conference, emphasizing the brand’s dedication to improve the lives of those they serve through innovative and compassionate care.

At Griswold Home Care for Mesquite, TX, a senior client with a high risk of falling due to mobility issues, exemplifies the critical role this technology can play. Initially, the family lacked Caregiver coverage on weekends and was apprehensive about modifying the care plan. However, Sensi.AI's vigilant monitoring system detected the senior's repeated falls from bed and promptly called for help. The actionable alerts provided by Sensi.AI allowed Griswold's team to swiftly adjust the care approach, ensuring the senior received enhanced and timely support. This case underscores the synergistic potential of combining human care and advanced technology, enabling our seniors to safely enjoy their independence at home. With Sensi.AI's assistance, the family recognized the need for expanded care, including weekend shifts, affirming the profound impact of integrated care solutions.

“We are committed to providing that sweet spot where technology and home care can meet in safe and effective ways — we support the use of new technologies where it makes sense and provides value,” said Slupecki. “AI isn’t just a buzzword in this case — it's critical. The resulting benefits can be life-saving for our clients.”
