As one of the first non-medical home care franchises in the United States,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare">Griswold</a> is backed by over 40 years of experience, providing quality home care to the elderly, disabled adults and those recovering from illnesses. While the brand has continued to grow in large part thanks to franchisees joining the system, several company-owned offices have also opened up across the Mid-Atlantic region. Most recently, Griswold celebrated the opening of a new company-owned office in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The office is hosting an open house at&nbsp;525 West Chester Pike, Suite 200 in Havertown, Penn. on Thursday, March 23 at 11:00am to 3:00pm, inviting the community to meet the team and learn more about its services.&nbsp;“This market used to be served by our Blue Bell location, but we found that we were missing the caregiver population that was living in Delaware County because they didn't want to travel that far,” said Griswold VP of Company Offices&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-sommerfield-91370620?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=griswold-launches-new-company-owned-office-in-delaware-county-pennsylvania-celebrates-with-open-house-on-march-23rd-2721903" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Christina Sommerfield</a>. “So, we made the decision to open another office and be more involved with the local Delco community, as opposed to keeping one larger office. I believe that home care is so personal that we need to really be in the community and involved.”&nbsp;Griswold operates eight company-owned offices in the Mid-Atlantic region—a footprint that allows the corporate team to develop best practices and share them with franchisees. The first-ever Griswold operation, now located in Blue Bell, Penn. along with the corporate office, is a company-owned office.&nbsp;“Our company-owned offices allow us to learn a lot about our clientele and our caregivers,” said Sommerfield. “It helps us understand the difference between a small territory and a big territory, for example, or an urban and suburban environment. It also helps us to see what works best for franchisees.”Similarly,&nbsp;Sommerfield says incoming Griswold franchisees find it appealing to have company-owned offices available as a resource.“We are there as a test kitchen for them,” she said. “This worked great. This didn’t work so great. It allows us to try new things and give franchisees the upper hand so they don’t have to make the same mistakes as us.”&nbsp;As a recent example, Sommerfield says Griswold has been testing out an innovative, new, wearable device for clients called CarePredict.&nbsp;“It keeps us up to date on the real-time activity of our clients,” she said. “As we look at costs associated with home care, a lot of it comes down to just knowing the client is doing OK. With this monitor, we can remotely find out how they are eating, moving around, sleeping, and more. We aren’t invasive. We are not there outside their home checking on them. But if they were to fall, for example, the family would be notified immediately. That is something we are testing out now at company-owned offices.”&nbsp;Referral source marketing is another area company-owned Griswold offices are investigating.&nbsp;“Out of the eight company-owned offices, we have some that are focused on caregiver recruitment, and some that are sales focused,” said Sommerfield. “Our marketing strategy is about bringing people to our website directly so they can do their research, but it’s also about visiting facilities, rehabilitation centers, and other community sources so they know we are a trusted local source where they can send referrals.”The new Delaware County Griswold office officially opened last month.&nbsp;“We are eager to not only serve more clients in the area, but also continue to develop best practices for franchisees moving forward,” said Sommerfield. “Over the past 40 years, Griswold has always maintained several company-owned offices, and we are excited to continue that expansion today.”The cost to open a Griswold franchise ranges 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>.
