The program aims to award $100,000 in scholarships to qualified caregivers across the country, kicking off on National Caregivers Day on February 17, 2023.“This program is designed for family caregivers, professional caregivers or anyone interested in pursuing a career in the care industry,” said Jean Griswold Foundation Acting Director <a href="https://www.zoominfo.com/p/Sarah-Latini/1652047661?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-celebrates-national-caregivers-day-with-plans-to-award-100000-in-nationwide-scholarships-to-caregivers-this-year-2721214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sarah Latini</a>. “Our mission is to support caregivers everywhere by providing scholarships that are directed to training, certification and degree enhancement in their field. Through these scholarships, we hope to impact the lives of the caregivers, as well as the families and the clients they serve now and in the future as they advance in their careers.”The Jean Griswold Foundation was founded in 2010 as a private nonprofit to support caregiving organizations in times of hardship, and was named after&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/remembering-home-health-care-pioneer-dr-jean-griswold-on-world-ms-day-may-30th-2715866">Dr. Jean Griswold</a> to help carry on her legacy. Until 2021, funds raised through private donors, corporations, franchisees, and employees had been primarily awarded to individuals and programs dedicated to senior care, but the intention was always to offer a way for caregivers to improve their ability to pursue care-related work. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the need for home health became more pressing than ever, Latini says the foundation decided to reorganize their approach to fully focus on caregivers.&nbsp;“We knew that caregivers were holding families and clients together following the pandemic, so we redesigned our mission to specifically help them pursue their career dreams through scholarships,” said Latini. “Since starting the scholarship program last year, we are already making leaps and bounds in achieving our mission.”In 2022, the Jean Griswold Foundation awarded $24,000 in scholarships to 12 caregivers from across the country with amazing stories of perseverance and fortitude. This year, that number is jumping to a whopping $100,000 because of how successful the fundraising program was last year. The denominations allocated to each caregiver will range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the scholarship.&nbsp;One recipient of the 2022 scholarships, Jessica Perez, was acknowledged for putting others first in her commitment to helping others. Perez is the oldest sibling in her family and grew up taking care of her siblings. As a result, her schooling needs were put on the back burner to help provide for her family. But through that care, she found her passion in healthcare and helping those in need. She also finds inspiration from her husband who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, something she says gives personal meaning to her career.&nbsp;"Nothing ever happened to me like this. I am always taking care of everybody, and I want to do more. What else can I do, what else can I learn?" said Perez. Since receiving her scholarship in July 2022, she has graduated with her Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) license.“When Jean Griswold started this company in 1982, she made sure that she was able to give back,” said Chair of the Jean Griswold Foundation and Griswold franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/how-this-mother-passed-on-her-deep-love-of-griswold-to-her-daughter-2718974">Maryanne Murray</a>. “I am really happy to be able to continue that philanthropy today. Our scholarship program is improving the lives of Griswold caregivers and all caregivers in general. Of the 12 we were able to support last year, for example, many of them have already achieved certification or taken advancements in their careers. That also helps us serve our clients better and impact the community at large. This year, we have the chance to do even more, all thanks to the generous donors who are making contributions to this cause.”And the need for caregiver support is more important than ever, Latini says. “As we see the senior population growing, more people need in-home care,” she said. “Caregivers provide that glue to make sure clients and patients are receiving the care they need, staying on track with their home experience and keeping them out of health care facilities. That is more critical than ever.”Additionally, Murray says these kinds of caregiver-focused initiatives help further position&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare/as-the-demand-for-in-home-senior-care-increases-griswold-home-care-leads-the-pack-2715667">Griswold franchisees</a> as employers-of-choice in the senior care industry. “The scholarships will set us apart from other home care agencies and will help us recruit caregivers, too,” she adds. “It’s also a good way to distinguish ourselves during a time of caregiver shortages and so much competition. We attract remarkable caregivers who seem to enjoy our culture, and we definitely enjoy what they’re bringing to the table. We have fabulous caregivers on our teams, and they’re really the lifeblood of our industry.”Those interested in applying for the 2023 National Caregiver Scholarship Program can visit the Jean Griswold Foundation’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jeangriswoldfoundation.org/scholarship-program/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-celebrates-national-caregivers-day-with-plans-to-award-100000-in-nationwide-scholarships-to-caregivers-this-year-2721214" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scholarship Program page</a> and fill out the form between February 17, 2023 and April 26, 2023. Both applicants and sponsors will need to fill in their designated information. The first round of winners will be announced on July 30th, Jean Griswold’s birthday.&nbsp;“At the end of the day, this is all about honoring those people on the frontline of home care,” said Latini. “Those heroes don’t generally receive enough credit for the wonderful work they do and the sacrifices they make everyday, and we are excited to be giving back and recognizing that commitment at the same time.”On being a care provider with Griswold, Genene Brown, a caregiver who just returned to her Griswold roots after taking care of her parents for some time, agrees that those in the client-facing roles are truly dedicated to their practice. “You have to have patience, and you have to care about what you do,” says Brown. “You get so attached to your clients and really learn something new every day.”Franchise opportunities range from $95,850 to $174,100 including a $49,500 franchise fee.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2025 /<a href="https://www.einpresswire.com/">EINPresswire.com</a>/ -- Today, PocketRN, a leader in virtual nursing, and Griswold, a leading home care company, announced they will form a National Strategic Partnership to test the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) alternative payment model designed to support people living with dementia and their caregivers. Under CMS’&nbsp;<a href="https://innovation.cms.gov/innovation-models/guide">Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model</a>, PocketRN will be one of almost 400 participants building Dementia Care Programs (DCPs) across the country, working to increase care coordination and improve access to services and supports, including respite care, for people living with dementia and their caregivers.Griswold’s partnership with PocketRN is rooted in the fact that a significant portion of their client base has a dementia diagnosis. Their franchised locations nationwide provide daily care and respite care for caregivers in the homes of people living with dementia, making this alliance a strategic and logical decision.Launched on July 1, 2024, the GUIDE Model will test a new payment approach for key supportive services furnished to people living with dementia, including: comprehensive, person-centered assessments and care plans; care coordination; 24/7 access to an interdisciplinary care team member or help line; and certain respite services to support caregivers. People with dementia and their caregivers will have the assistance and support of a Care Navigator to help them access clinical and non-clinical services such as meals and transportation through community-based organizations.“We couldn't be more thrilled to bring our revolutionary Nurse for Life model to the millions of dementia patients and families who need it most,” said PocketRN CEO, Jenna Morgenstern-Gaines. “With PocketRN, patients and families get unwavering support from a dedicated, trusted nurse as they navigate the complexities of managing dementia at NO cost to them. Nurses are hands-down the best clinicians to be the ‘glue’ for patients and their families throughout their dementia journey–they've been doing so forever, and it's high-time their work is valued by our system.”“We’re excited to partner with PocketRN in anchoring Griswold’s GUIDE approach of improving client access to Medicare-supported dementia navigation, education, and respite hours, integrated seamlessly with our experienced care professionals,” said Matt Ericksen, Vice President of Sales and Operations at Griswold.PocketRN’s partnership with Griswold to deliver the GUIDE Model will help people living with dementia and their caregivers have access to education and support, such as training programs on best practices for caring for a loved one living with dementia. The GUIDE Model also provides respite services for certain people, enabling caregivers to take temporary breaks from their caregiving responsibilities. Respite is being tested under the GUIDE Model to assess its effect on helping caregivers continue to care for their loved ones at home, preventing or delaying the need for facility care.For more information on CMS’ GUIDE Model, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/innovation-models/guide">https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/innovation-models/guide</a>.About GriswoldWith over 200 locations across 30 states, Griswold is one of the country’s top home care companies, providing professional, compassionate Caregivers 24/7.

Sisters&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-two-sisters-chose-now-to-build-a-purpose-driven-home-care-business-with-griswold-2730847">Manar Landis and Maha Zirn-Kashoor</a> have brought decades of medical, caregiving and humanitarian experience to Oklahoma City by opening a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldcare.com/oklahoma-city-north/">Griswold franchise</a>. Launched in October, their business matches seniors with caregivers who provide nonmedical support ranging from occasional weekly visits to 24-hour care. Both sisters say their long careers with organizations like the United Nations, UNICEF and major Oklahoma health systems, along with their personal experience caring for their own aging family members, made home care a natural next step.A major part of their work is helping seniors overcome the reluctance to accept assistance. Zirn-Kashoor notes that many elderly people insist they can manage alone, but once they experience the support, it becomes “life-changing.” The sisters emphasize that the goal is to help older adults remain independent and safe at home, tailoring care plans to each individual’s needs — whether that’s personal care, companionship, transportation, help after surgery or even small touches like doing hair and makeup. With about 90% of clients living at home and many having no nearby family, they see their services as an essential part of the continuum of care.Their franchise is only the second&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/info">Griswold</a> location in Oklahoma, joining the first office in Tulsa, with a third opening soon in Edmond. The sisters say there is still a lack of awareness — even among physicians — about senior home care options, which often leads to preventable hospital readmissions. They aim to close that gap, positioning home care as a vital complement to the health care system.As demand for senior support grows, driven by a rapidly aging U.S. population, the sisters see strong potential for impact and business growth. Their new venture already employs 16 people and is expanding.&nbsp;Read the original article from The Journal Record&nbsp;<a href="https://journalrecord.com/2025/12/05/griswold-home-care-oklahoma-city-senior-services/">here</a>.
