With over 170 locations across the U.S.,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/info">Griswold</a> is dedicated to serving others, a value that closely aligns with the culture and principles of veterans. From providing care to veteran clients to employing veteran caregivers and welcoming veteran franchisees, Griswold is committed to giving back to those who have served.“We are committed to hiring veterans who want to be part of our organization,” said Griswold Chief Operating Officer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-turner-4a5b0a6?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-supports-veterans-as-clients-employs-veteran-caregivers-and-offers-a-perfect-franchise-fit-for-veteran-entrepreneurs-2726613" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Steven Turner</a>. “They are outstanding humans with a great work ethic.”<h2>Supporting Veteran Franchise Owners</h2>Griswold's franchise model is a perfect fit for veterans, providing a structured and supportive environment that mirrors military life. Over the years, Griswold has welcomed many veteran entrepreneurs into its system, providing&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/how-griswold-home-care-provides-veterans-with-a-lucrative-and-meaningful-franchise-opportunity-2717147#stories">a clear path</a> to entrepreneurship for those transitioning out of the military and looking to enter the private sector as business owners.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nolan-chandler-047858124?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-supports-veterans-as-clients-employs-veteran-caregivers-and-offers-a-perfect-franchise-fit-for-veteran-entrepreneurs-2726613" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nolan Chandler</a>, a Griswold franchisee in Temecula, California, shared his journey from the Marine Corps to franchise ownership. “I went to law school from 2014 to 2017 and joined the Marine Corps as an attorney in 2019,” he said. “After serving for four years, I wanted to continue my entrepreneurial spirit in civilian life. I chose Griswold because it aligned with my goals and background. The franchise provides the systems, game plan, and processes needed for a running start.”Chandler emphasized the importance of structure in both military and franchise life. ‘In the military, we are very order-driven,” he said. “The structured nature of a franchise is something veterans are used to. It’s just another day.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/how-these-retirees-are-carrying-on-their-parents-legacy-with-their-griswold-franchise-2725597">Wendy and Dave Perry</a>, franchisees in Roseville, California, also found Griswold to be an excellent fit for their post-military careers.&nbsp;“I am an Army veteran,” said Dave. “A lot of the home care franchises are pretty friendly to veteran franchisees, but Griswold definitely stuck out. They offered us a discount on the franchise fee and proved to me that they were pro-veteran and doing what they could to help veterans own businesses.”Griswold is a 5-star member of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vetfran.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-supports-veterans-as-clients-employs-veteran-caregivers-and-offers-a-perfect-franchise-fit-for-veteran-entrepreneurs-2726613" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">VetFran</a>, an organization dedicated to educating and facilitating the transition of veterans into franchising. The company also offers a 20% discount on its initial franchise fee for any veteran joining Griswold.&nbsp;“Our start-up process for new owners is very process-oriented, which works well with military people,” said Turner. “Everything we do is down to a science, making it easy for veterans to walk through the process. Our owners are locally owned but nationally supported, so it’s about giving back while also running a great business and making money.”<h2>Employing Veteran Caregivers</h2>In addition to veteran franchise owners, Griswold also encourages, and seeks out connections with, veteran caregivers, as well as active service members who are looking for part-time work.&nbsp;“I aim to employ other veterans because I know transitioning out of the military can be difficult,” said Chandler. “Before franchising, I was looking for an attorney position but had a very difficult time finding employment. I thought I would have a better shot getting a job, but that was not the case. I know that veterans coming off active duty can struggle to find a job, so if I can help out in any way, that’s great.”The Perrys echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the responsibility and care required in the caregiving profession. “When you are a caregiver, you are caring for another individual’s life. It’s one of the highest responsibilities,” Dave said. “Veterans have the discipline and reliability needed for this role, making them exceptional caregivers.”&nbsp;<h2>Serving Veteran Clients</h2>Griswold's commitment to veterans extends to its clients as well. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more seniors are choosing to age in place. According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aarp.org/home-family/your-home/info-2021/home-and-community-preferences-survey.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-supports-veterans-as-clients-employs-veteran-caregivers-and-offers-a-perfect-franchise-fit-for-veteran-entrepreneurs-2726613" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">2022 AARP survey</a>, 77% of adults 50 and older want to remain in their homes for the long term. Without the astronomical costs of assisted living facilities and nursing homes, home health provides seniors with the ability to live in the comfort and security of their homes with the assistance they need. And considering&nbsp;<a href="https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023/aging-veterans.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-supports-veterans-as-clients-employs-veteran-caregivers-and-offers-a-perfect-franchise-fit-for-veteran-entrepreneurs-2726613#:~:text=Highlights%20include%3A,were%2065%20years%20or%20older." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">nearly one-half (49%)</a> of all veterans in the U.S. are 65 years or older, this need is especially crucial among the military community.“When you join the military, it’s often because you want to give back,” Turner said. “One of the reasons people join Griswold is also to give back. Home care is a local business, and Griswold was designed to help people in their community.”Franchisees also have all the resources they need to provide this essential service. The Griswold team offers&nbsp;<a href="https://griswoldhomecarefranchise.com/why-griswold/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-griswold-supports-veterans-as-clients-employs-veteran-caregivers-and-offers-a-perfect-franchise-fit-for-veteran-entrepreneurs-2726613" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ongoing support</a> and rolls out initiatives and programs to help optimize revenue.&nbsp; Griswold also collaborates with veteran organizations like the VA and the VFW to ensure veterans receive the care they need. Franchisees also have support in becoming credentialed to provide VA-funded services if applicable to their local market.“We had a client whose mother was 96 and had recently lost her WWII veteran husband,” Wendy said. “She had no idea about her VA benefits and was so excited when we informed her. It’s rewarding to help veterans access the resources they deserve.”<h2>A Great Franchise Fit for Veterans</h2>Overall, Griswold’s mission-driven purpose, process-oriented start-up, and dedication to giving back make it an ideal franchise for veterans. The company’s support for veteran franchisees, caregivers, and clients creates a strong community of like-minded individuals dedicated to serving others.For more information about franchising with Griswold, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold">https://1851franchise.com/griswold</a>.

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>.
