About Griswold Home Care

What does it mean to "live assured"? It means people enjoying the independence they want and the peace of mind they deserve.

Griswold Home Care was founded by the late Jean Griswold in 1982, making us the oldest non-medical home care organization in the country. As a pioneer in our industry, we support families by providing professional caregivers for personal care, homemaking, and companionship services. Our company was built on the timeless values of compassion and care—and these ideals are always at the heart of all that we do. We are proud that the services we provide help our clients remain in the homes they love.

Our desire to give back led us to establish the Jean Griswold Scholarship Foundation which assists individuals seeking to further their education in a care-related field. We hire hard-working, dedicated individuals who uphold our values and ensure our clients receive the top-quality care they need. To show our appreciation for all they do, we offer our employees above-average pay, robust appreciation programs, and opportunities for growth and development to help them build rewarding careers.

Your life as a caregiver

This companionship and caregiving position offers flexible hours and opportunities to assist seniors on both day and night shifts. Clients may receive as little as 4 hours of care, while others require 24-hour care.

You are gentle and professional as you aid them with daily tasks such as bathing and feeding. At times, you provide companionship to clients who have dementia or cognitive impairments. Your kind and patient demeanor serves you well as you ensure they receive the highest quality of elderly care.

You carefully complete documentation for each shift, submitting timely updates. Committed to providing consistent elderly care, you communicate routinely with the office about the condition and needs of your clients. You feel good about helping seniors enjoy their golden years, and you are glad you chose a career in the caregiving industry.
