As the first non-medical home care franchise in the United States, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare">Griswold Home Care</a> is backed by nearly 40 years of experience providing quality home care to the elderly, disabled adults and those recovering from illnesses. But for franchisees, ownership can mean much more than just a thriving business opportunity — it can also allow them to fulfill their calling and serve those in their community.&nbsp;“We want our franchisees to be proud of being a Griswold Home Care owner,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-slupecki-08b2288?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CEO Michael Slupecki</a>. “Now, more than ever, there are people in need throughout every community, and our franchise opportunity allows passionate entrepreneurs to provide that helping hand while also building a bright future for themselves.”&nbsp;The company was founded in 1982 by <a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare/remembering-home-health-care-pioneer-dr-jean-griswold-on-world-ms-day-may-30th-2715866">Dr. Jean Griswold</a>, a senior care professional who suffered from multiple sclerosis (MS) and recognized firsthand that the elderly often lacked the assistance they needed to remain living independently at home. She decided to fill this void by starting the company, and she began franchising the concept to trusted acquaintances in her community two years later. Over the years, Dr. Jean built a <a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare/how-griswold-home-care-provided-a-more-meaningful-career-for-these-franchisees-amid-the-pandemic-2715838#stories">purpose-driven business model</a> and expanded the concept into 29 states across the country.<h4>Why Franchisees Feel They are Part of a Community-Driven Family</h4>It was Dr. Jean’s mission that initially inspired <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-assimon-a8837216?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Michael Assimon</a>, the Griswold Home Care franchisee in Syracuse, New York, to sign on with the brand back in 2012.“I chose Griswold because of the <a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswoldhomecare/griswoldness-what-griswold-home-care-targets-in-prospective-franchisees-2716505">culture</a>,” said Assimon. “Its founding was based on caring and compassion, and that mindset carries on today. I liked that Griswold had company-owned offices, because it enables the corporate team to relate to and thoroughly understand the business from the franchisee's perspective. Additionally, franchisees can gain knowledge from the strategic, technological and marketing successes of the team.”The team knows Griswold Home Care’s success is dependent upon its franchisees’ success, which is why they work hard to <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/franchising/why-griswold/training-programs/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">provide ongoing support</a> and roll out initiatives and programs to help franchisees optimize revenue. Since the brand operates several company-owned offices in the mid-atlantic region, the team can develop best practices and share them with franchisees. For owners who want to give back to their community, Griswold’s proven systems and supportive team enables them to provide the highest-quality service.“During the last few years of my father's life, I saw firsthand how difficult it can be to find a great caregiver,” said Assimon. “My father was a stroke victim, and after about 10 months we finally found a caregiver our family loved and who made our situation easier for everyone. Additionally, our son was born with Down Syndrome and is fortunate to have a great family support network. Many others with special needs and concerns are not as fortunate as Luke. Therefore, it is important for my wife and me to give back to the community in the best way we can, and Griswold helps us accomplish this mission.”<h4>How Griswold Helps Franchisees Achieve Their Entrepreneurial Dreams</h4><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirza-donegan-csa-b874286?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">??Mirza Donegan</a>, the Griswold Home Care franchisee in Silver Spring, Maryland, worked as a marketing manager for a non-profit before deciding to invest her IRA funds into a business opportunity in 2012.&nbsp;“I have always known I would own my own business. It was just a matter of when and how,” said Donegan. “I was fortunate to have a wonderful support network with my family and friends. First, it was important to me to be there and raise my daughter — to guide her on the path to her future. Once that was accomplished my husband reminded me it was time for me to find my opportunity."Donegan knew she wanted a business that would be both challenging and fulfilling. She also valued face-to-face relationships where she could interact with people and make a difference. After doing her due diligence, Donegan felt drawn to Griswold Home Care, because her mother-in-law had used a similar service and she understood the value that quality home care provides for clients and their families.&nbsp;“I researched different options and over a period of time it became clear that Griswold Home Care was a natural fit,” said Donegan. “Griswold focuses on understanding what families look for in a professional caregiver. The Griswold Golden Rule is: We only approve caregivers we would trust in our own home. This struck an important chord in us since we had been involved with the care of my mother-in-law. Seeing to her needs and trying to find the best possible home care to help her live happily and safely in the comfort of her own home with the best caregiver was important to us.”Elderly adults and adults with disabilities or illnesses have many unique needs, which is why Griswold Home Care offers a wide variety of services to accommodate their clients. The brand’s care plans are customized to fit each client and can be adjusted as their needs change over time. The home care services include <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/homemaking-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">homemaking</a>, <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/personal-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">personal care</a>, <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/companion-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">companion care</a>, <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/hospice-care-and-palliative-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">hospice care</a>, <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/respite-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">respite care</a>, <a href="https://www.griswoldhomecare.com/care-services/live-in-overnight-home-care/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-franchisees-are-proud-to-be-a-part-of-griswold-home-care-2716873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">live-in overnight care</a> and more.“The best part of my job is meeting my clients, seniors who have contributed so much to our society,” said Donegan. “I’m in a fortunate position to assist them by referring an affordable, experienced, proven caregiver who will help every client maintain the dignity, comfort, safety, independence and happiness they deserve, regardless of where they call home.”With 168 territories in 29 states, Griswold Home Care has given franchisees all over the country a business opportunity they can be proud of. Now, the brand is gearing up for strategic growth throughout the country and is continuing to seek compassionate, empathetic individuals who want to follow a fulfilling path and make an impact on people in their community.The cost to open a Griswold Home Care franchise ranges from $108,181 to $181,431, including a $49,500 franchise fee.

After nearly a decade working as a Caregiver, Chai was recently named a recipient of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jeangriswoldfoundation.org/">Jean Griswold Foundation</a> Scholarship Program, becoming the only awardee from Hawaii during the most recent cycle.Chai began caregiving in 2014 and developed an early passion for geriatrics while working in a nursing home. “I loved building relationships with our patients and we became really close,” she told&nbsp;<a href="https://alohastatedaily.com/2026/02/19/honolulus-rachel-chai-talks-caregiving/">Aloha State Daily</a>.She credits Griswold’s scholarship support with helping ease the financial burden of continuing her education and allowing her to focus more fully on her long-term goal of serving families through social work.“Being a divorced mom of two young children, I didn’t know how I was going to pay for school and living expenses, so finding out I got the scholarship really took a weight off my shoulders,” Chai said.Her dedication shows up in everyday moments, from staying with a client during a tsunami warning to creating meaningful experiences like a “girls’ night in” for those in her care.&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jeangriswoldfoundation.org/">Jean Griswold Foundation</a> Scholarship Program awarded 32 scholarships totaling more than $73,000 to Caregivers nationwide this year.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://alohastatedaily.com/2026/02/19/honolulus-rachel-chai-talks-caregiving/">here</a>.&nbsp;To find out more information on Griswold or The Jean Griswold Foundation, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.griswoldcare.com/">https://www.GriswoldCare.com/</a> or <a href="https://www.JeanGriswoldFoundation.org/.">https://www.JeanGriswoldFoundation.org/.</a>&nbsp;

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.

Griswold Celebrates National Caregivers Day, Announces Winter Scholarship Winners Through the Jean Griswold Foundation

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.
