Griswold

As National Home Care and Hospice Month approaches,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold">Griswold</a>, a pioneering franchise in the non-medical home care industry, continues to set the gold standard. With over 40 years of experience and 170 locations,&nbsp;<a href="https://griswoldhomecarefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Griswold</a> has not only weathered the ups and downs of the industry, but has also emerged stronger, more resilient and more committed to serving its communities than ever before."Home care has always been active, but since COVID, there's been a shift,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-sommerfield-91370620?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Christina Sommerfield</a>, Vice President of Company Offices for Griswold. “People are choosing to stay home as they age. We lost that contact with seniors in facilities during the pandemic, and we don’t want to relive that experience. That is why the need for home and hospice care is more pressing than ever and Griswold is here to fill that need.”<h2>The Importance of Home Care and Hospice</h2>Within the evolving landscape of home care and hospice, Sommerfield says raising awareness is often the first and most important step. "When a family member needs home care, often it's an emergency,” she said. “You might not have the luxury of time to research. At Griswold, with our four decades of expertise, we can guide families through this process, whether they're planning ahead or facing an immediate need."Founded in 1982, Griswold is backed by over&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/how-griswold-has-grown-and-evolved-over-40-years-2723561#franchisor">40 years of experience</a> providing quality home care to the elderly, disabled adults and individuals recovering from illness. Dr. Jean Griswold was a senior care professional who had multiple sclerosis (MS) and recognized firsthand that the elderly often lacked the assistance they needed to remain independent at home. Griswold set out to offer a wide variety of in-home support services, with care plans customized to fit each client that could be adjusted as their needs change over time. The brand’s home care services include&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/homemaking-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=former-medical-professional-opens-new-griswold-location-in-newport-beach-2723718&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">homemaking</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/personal-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=former-medical-professional-opens-new-griswold-location-in-newport-beach-2723718&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">personal care</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/companion-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=former-medical-professional-opens-new-griswold-location-in-newport-beach-2723718&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">companion care</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/hospice-care-and-palliative-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=former-medical-professional-opens-new-griswold-location-in-newport-beach-2723718&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">hospice care support</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/respite-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=former-medical-professional-opens-new-griswold-location-in-newport-beach-2723718&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">respite care</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/live-in-overnight-home-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=former-medical-professional-opens-new-griswold-location-in-newport-beach-2723718&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">live-in, 24/7 and overnight care</a>."We are very involved in co-vending, partnering with hospice agencies and building strong relationships,” said Sommerfield. “As we expand our business, we're always engaging with clients and caregivers at a community level. It's all about matching the right people. Because we are a national franchise, we can leverage our size to ensure no one in need ever has to go without care.” Griswold's relationship with hospice care is a particularly important factor. "We can identify when a loved one might benefit from hospice,” Sommerfield said. “Conversely, if someone is discharged from hospice, we can recommend professional agencies so families can focus on being families instead of caregivers."&nbsp;<h2>A Passion-Driven Team of Caregivers</h2>The testimonials from Griswold caregivers further underscore the company's leadership in the home care industry. Jacqueline Lyttle, for example, is a caregiver from the Bucks &amp; Montgomery County Office who was recently nominated for the 2023 Pennsylvania Direct Care Worker of the Year Awards. She says being a caregiver means absolutely everything to her.“This doesn’t feel like work,” said Lyttle. “It feels like this is what I was put on the Earth to do. I don’t see any of my clients as being hard, but I always try to win people over. It’s a challenge, and I never lose that challenge. I’ll do whatever it takes to win you over. And I’ll never quit. I really put my heart into it. I let my clients know that I’m there to be their friend, I’m not there to hurt them. They’re safe with me. I enjoy my work. I can’t see myself doing anything else. I put my heart into it and it has taught me to be more patient. You have to have a lot of empathy in your heart, because so many people need that.”As someone with over 20 years of experience as a caregiver and registered CNA, Lyttle says Griswold stands out as&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/griswold-awards-44200-in-scholarships-to-support-caregivers-education-2723169#franchisor">an employer in the industry</a>, as well.&nbsp;“Communication is very important and Griswold communicates very well,” Lyttle said. “They listen to us and the clients, and the brand welcomes you to openly speak in detail about what’s going on. They clearly care for their caregivers and their clients. They’re very professional, very kind and considerate, and that makes life easy. I’m working with a wonderful company.” Part of Griswold’s top standing in the home care industry comes from its commitment to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/home-health-care-news-the-evolution-of-caregiver-client-matching-in-home-care-2723623#featured">matching clients with the ideal caregivers</a> based on the client's unique needs and preferences. The relationship also emphasizes building trust and comfort between the caregiver, the client and the client's family, which leads to improved care outcomes.&nbsp;<h2>A Future of Worry-Free Living</h2>Now, with the aging population steadily on the rise, Griswold understands that the demand for home care and hospice support is only going to grow.&nbsp;"People want to be in their homes and they want to be in a community,” said Sommerfield. “Aging and home care is a personal job. There is always going to be a need and there is also always going to be a desire among compassionate caregivers who want to fulfill that need.”&nbsp;That is why the team is gearing up for strategic franchise growth and is looking for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare/griswoldness-what-griswold-home-care-targets-in-prospective-franchisees-2716505?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=griswold-eyes-charlotte-north-carolina-for-franchise-expansion-2723843">compassionate, empathetic individuals</a> to help usher in a new era for the brand. Prospective franchisees have the opportunity to join a proven brand, take control of their destiny and give back to the people in their community."Our expansive franchise network is built on partnership, collaboration and trust,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-slupecki-08b2288?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-is-leading-the-charge-in-home-care-and-hospice-support-2724139" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Michael Slupecki</a>, Griswold CEO. “Our franchisees join us not just for business but because they genuinely want to give back to their communities.

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>.
