Griswold

BLUE BELL, Pa.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://griswoldhomecarefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-enters-second-half-of-2025-with-strong-growth-new-partnerships-and-continued-commitment-to-quality-care-2729870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Griswold</a>, one of the country’s top home care companies, providing professional, compassionate Caregivers with a 43-year legacy, is celebrating a strong first half of 2025, with 12 new territories awarded, 10 new offices opened, and three successful franchise resales completed.“Our sentiment remains very positive,” said CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-slupecki-08b2288?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-enters-second-half-of-2025-with-strong-growth-new-partnerships-and-continued-commitment-to-quality-care-2729870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Michael Slupecki</a>. “The demand for our services has remained strong. Same-store sales growth is trending ahead of 2024, and new franchise expansion continues.”This momentum builds on a banner year in 2024 and signals an even more promising back half of 2025, driven by strategic geographic expansion, industry recognition, and a brand-wide focus on franchisee support and client outcomes.Griswold continues to grow with intention, welcoming mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to make a difference in their communities. In the first half of 2025, the brand awarded 12 new franchises and facilitated three successful resales, bringing new ownership to legacy locations and preserving community continuity.“We’ve had great growth in California and we still have a lot of great territory out there,” said Chief Operating Officer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-turner-4a5b0a6?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-enters-second-half-of-2025-with-strong-growth-new-partnerships-and-continued-commitment-to-quality-care-2729870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Steven Turner</a>. “We’re also looking to get into new states like Wisconsin, Alabama, Utah, New Mexico and Oregon. Our goal is to award 20 new franchises this year, but we care more about the quality of the people we bring in than just the number. We are looking for great owners who share the same mission and vision of the brand.”The brand’s success in franchise development is anchored in its ability to attract individuals with a personal connection to care.“For almost all of the people we encounter, they had some experience with a loved one who needed care, and they wanted to be able to bring a better experience,” Turner said. “They care, they are compassionate, and they want to do something great with their life.”In Q2, Griswold also received three top honors from&nbsp;<a href="https://franchisebusinessreview.com/top-franchises/griswold-home-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-enters-second-half-of-2025-with-strong-growth-new-partnerships-and-continued-commitment-to-quality-care-2729870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Franchise Business Review: Top Franchise, Top Recession-Resistant Franchise, and Top Franchise Culture</a>. The culture recognition in particular speaks to the intentional, values-driven environment Griswold has built across its network.“We were honored with three Franchise Satisfaction Awards from Franchise Business Review,” Slupecki said. “The recognition of culture is especially meaningful, reflecting our intentional focus on building an inclusive, values-driven organization. That starts with the home office team, recognized for the fourth consecutive year by&nbsp;<a href="https://sponsored.inquirer.com/top-workplaces-2025-ranked/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-enters-second-half-of-2025-with-strong-growth-new-partnerships-and-continued-commitment-to-quality-care-2729870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the Philadelphia Inquirer as a Top Workplace</a>.”In 2025, Griswold continues to prioritize innovation that benefits both clients and caregivers. The brand was once again recognized by Home Care Pulse's Activated Insights as an Endorsed National Provider — for the third consecutive year — thanks to exceptional client and Caregiver satisfaction scores.“We are forward-focused on technology and innovation that enhances the experience for both clients and Caregivers,” Slupecki said. “We’re continuing to explore passive monitoring technology to keep clients safer while also investing in Caregiver-facing tools that automate recognition and rewards — driving stronger engagement, retention, and job satisfaction.”Additionally, Griswold launched a new national partnership with&nbsp;<a href="https://carepatrol.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-enters-second-half-of-2025-with-strong-growth-new-partnerships-and-continued-commitment-to-quality-care-2729870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CarePatrol</a>, a leader in senior care placement services. The relationship enables Griswold franchisees to receive pre-qualified referrals from trusted senior advisors, creating a win-win scenario for families and franchise owners alike.“This partnership allows Griswold locations to strengthen referral relationships within senior placement networks and gain qualified, low-churn clients who are actively seeking home care,” Slupecki said.With the second half of 2025 underway, Griswold is focused on maintaining its growth trajectory while continuing to prioritize franchisee success and client outcomes.“Our focus is on maintaining the momentum we’ve built in the first half of 2025,” Slupecki said. “That means continuing to support our established franchisees with the tools and training they need to stay ahead, while also driving thoughtful geographic expansion. Our goal isn’t just to sell franchises — it’s to ensure the highest percentage of new franchisee success.”With 12 franchises already launched this year and 22 new franchises awarded in 2024, Griswold is poised for even greater impact nationwide — especially in underserved states where demand for non-medical home care continues to grow.“We have a great franchise development team that cares deeply about the people they are speaking to,” Turner said. “And when you combine that with our brand’s culture and 40-plus years of legacy, it’s clear why Griswold continues to stand out in the senior care space.”ABOUT GRISWOLDWith 196 locations across 31 states, Griswold is one of the country’s top home care companies, providing professional, compassionate Caregivers 24/7. Griswold’s “Live Assured” promise gives both clients and their loved ones peace of mind, so they can live without the weight of worry.

BLUE BELL, Pa. —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldcare.com/">Griswold</a>, the leading non-medical in-home care franchise, announced the winter 2026 recipients of its National Caregiver Scholarship Program in honor of National Caregivers Day on Feb. 20, 2026. The program, administered in partnership with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jeangriswoldfoundation.org/">Jean Griswold Foundation</a>, awarded its largest scholarship class to date, with 32 scholarships awarded totaling more than $73,000.“We are really excited for the Winter Scholarships winners — this was our biggest year ever,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-latini-61835b2">Sarah Latini</a>, director of the Jean Griswold Foundation. “It really shows how far the message of the opportunity and its impacts are reaching across the country.”The scholarship recipients represent Caregivers at many stages of their education and professional journeys — from those pursuing CNA training to others advancing into nursing, gerontology, behavioral health, and graduate-level health care programs.“We have a wonderful representation of both men and women at different stages of their careers,” Latini said. “Many of them were touched by a personal experience of caring for a loved one or somebody in the community that inspired them to advance their careers.”This year’s winter scholarship recipients include Caregivers from across the country who plan to use their awards to pursue education and training in high-need care fields. Below are those associated with Griswold offices nationwide:<ul><li>Aries J. (San Antonio, Texas) — pursuing board-certified behavior analyst coursework.</li><li>Ayris W. (Gwynn Oak, Maryland) — pursuing certified nursing assistant/high school diploma pathway.</li><li>Elias A. (Washington, D.C.) — pursuing certified nursing assistant training.</li><li>Ester C. (Plano, Texas) — pursuing advanced geriatric care education.</li><li>Eturnity S. (San Antonio, Texas) — pursuing physical therapist assistant program.</li><li>Garine "Gigi" G. (Atlanta, Georgia) — pursuing registered nurse degree.</li><li>Grace M. (Greensburg, Pennsylvania) — pursuing bachelor's degree in gerontology and aging services.</li><li>Joycy B. (Baltimore, Maryland) — pursuing registered nurse degree.</li><li>Kawana S. (Camden County, New Jersey) — pursuing Master of Science in Nursing.</li><li>Nadine C. (Camden County, New Jersey) — pursuing licensed practical nurse degree.</li><li>Paulina P. (Plano, Texas) — pursuing certified nursing assistant certification.</li><li>Rachel C. (Honolulu, Hawaii) — pursuing Master of Social Work.</li><li>Shachana M. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — pursuing continuing education in nursing/care.</li><li>Symone B. (Cleveland, Ohio) — pursuing registered nurse degree.</li><li>Vilma F. (Montgomery County, Maryland) — pursuing certified medical assistant and Child Development Associate credential.</li></ul>Latini emphasized that the scholarship program is rooted in the values of Griswold’s founder — and in the belief that Caregiver education strengthens families and communities.“Dr. Jean Griswold believed in continuing one’s education throughout one’s life,” Latini said. “She herself got a PhD later in life and was always encouraging staff to advance in their careers. We feel strongly that we are continuing her legacy by providing scholarships for Caregivers. We really feel we are living out her legacy with this scholarship program.”The program also reflects the urgent workforce needs facing health care today, especially in nursing and direct care roles.“In the health care field, there is a strain and a need for people to enter the nursing field in particular,” Latini said. “We see the pipeline as a direct line to the nursing fields. There is a lot going on right now, and we know that these frontline workers are essential to our communities.”The Jean Griswold Foundation surpassed a major milestone in annual scholarship support last year, a benchmark it aims to reach again in 2026.“In 2025, we gave away over $100,000 in scholarships total,” Latini said. “It is our goal to give away the same amount in the next year. Since we started in 2022, we’ve given 135 scholarships, and that totals over $300,000 awarded overall.”Applications for the Summer 2026 scholarship cycle opened Feb. 1 and close on March 31, 2026.

How Griswold Honors Veterans Through Care, Employment Opportunities and Franchise Ownership

BLUE BELL, PA. —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldcare.com/">Griswold</a>, one of the nation’s leading in-home care franchises with a 43-year legacy, is closing out 2025 on a high note after achieving record growth across franchise development, systemwide performance and brand recognition. The milestone year positions the brand for even greater momentum in 2026 as&nbsp;<a href="https://griswoldhomecarefranchise.com/">Griswold</a> continues to expand thoughtfully while investing in innovation that helps older adults safely age in place.“This year was spectacular for Griswold — we hit every goal across the board,” said CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-slupecki-08b2288">Michael Slupecki</a>. “Our franchisee royalty growth was right there at double digits. We signed 21 franchise agreements and opened 16 locations, and our five company-owned locations all delivered spectacular year-over-year growth. It’s been a great year.”Throughout 2025, Griswold expanded into 13 states. North Carolina led the way with four new franchise awards, while additional openings across secondary and tertiary markets reinforced Griswold’s belief that the right owners can thrive anywhere.“The aging population is really happening everywhere,” Slupecki said. “Because this is a people business, it’s about finding the right partners with the right mission and values. When you do that, they can be successful wherever they are, and we’re seeing tremendous performance across the system.”In addition to expansion, Griswold earned more external recognition in 2025 than any year in its history, including three top honors from&nbsp;<a href="https://franchisebusinessreview.com/top-franchises/griswold-home-care/#brand_awards_module">Franchise Business Review: Top Franchise, Top Recession-Resistant Franchise and Top Franchise Culture</a>. The home office team was also recognized for the fourth consecutive year by&nbsp;<a href="https://sponsored.inquirer.com/top-workplaces-2025-ranked/">the Philadelphia Inquirer as a Top Workplace</a>.“We’re not just hitting our internal goals; we’re being recognized externally,” Slupecki said. “Prospective franchisees come into Discovery Day already having done their validation. They’ve spoken to existing owners about our culture, our mission and our support. It’s a great blend of culture and being able to make money, and that gives people confidence to step away from a 9-to-5 and invest in a Griswold franchise.”A key driver of Griswold’s long-term growth strategy in 2025 was continued investment in tech. While not a health care provider, the brand increasingly operates with a health care mindset — using technology tools that help monitor client well-being, identify early signs of decline and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations.“We think like a health care company,” Slupecki said. “By leveraging technology and data, we’re raising our game and differentiating ourselves. Our goal is to become the provider of choice for families by keeping clients safe, healthy and in their homes longer.”Looking ahead to 2026, Griswold aims to sign approximately 23 new franchise locations, with target markets including Utah, Wisconsin and Alabama.“We don’t want to sell a lot of locations and do it poorly,” Slupecki said. “We want 100% of the people who trust their investment with us to succeed. Holding ourselves to higher standards allows us to provide the support franchisees need to win. We’re in a great position to take the success of 2025 and do it even better. If we can grow faster, open more successful locations and roll out technology that truly differentiates our franchisees, that’s a win across the board.”ABOUT GRISWOLDWith over 200 locations across 30 states, Griswold is one of the country’s top home care companies, providing and referring professional, compassionate Caregivers around the clock.

Griswold Closes Out 2025 With Record Franchise Growth and Positions Brand for Continued Momentum in 2026

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>.
