Devastated me that I could not hold her hand in her last days. What living in isolation could do and how if she had been able to stay in her home may have changed the story. If anything, we would have been able to have more control over her care and how she was treated. So that’s the sad part but what has transpired since then has been nothing short of a miracle.”Following this experience, a life-changing conversation with a friend put Myhre down an unexpected trajectory. “I met one of my forever friends at a retreat here in Northern MN six years ago,” she said. “She is from the East Coast and told me about Griswold Home Care, where her grandmother was one of the first women to open the franchise for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/remembering-home-health-care-pioneer-dr-jean-griswold-on-world-ms-day-may-30th-2715866">Jean Griswold</a>.”Founded in 1982, Griswold is a non-medical home care franchise with over 170 units that is backed by over 40 years of experience providing quality home care to the elderly, disabled adults and individuals recovering from illnesses. 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 services to accommodate the unique needs of the elderly, disabled adults and individuals recovering from illnesses, with care plans customized to fit each client that could be adjusted as their needs change over time.
