Bringing Quality and Affectionate Care to your Home
Businesses usually sell products
or services. However, there
are few who sell outcomes.
Griswold Home Care is among such
names whose mission has been to
provide value-based care.
Griswold Home Care was founded in
1982 by late Dr. Jean Griswold to
fulfill the healthcare assistance of
elderly citizens aiding them to continue
living at home. And today, under the
leadership of CEO Michael Slupecki,
the organization has established itself
across the country, catering to the
wider population with their quality
home care services.
Read the following interview where
Michael shares the genesis of Griswold
Home Care, how a unique approach of
caregiver to a client has garnered
success, and his views on how
technology has the power to disrupt the
home care sector.
Please brief our audience about
Griswold Home Care, its values, and
the key aspects of its stronghold
within the home care services
industry.
Griswold Home Care is a non-medical
home care franchise with 168 locations
across the country. As the first nonmedical
home care franchise in the
United States, Griswold Home Care is
backed by nearly 40 years of
experience providing quality home
care to the aging population, disabled
adults, and others recovering from
surgery or illness.
While we operate in a growing
industry with many respected
competitors, we are different. We call
the characteristics that make us unique
our 'Griswoldness'. Those
characteristics come directly from our
founder, Dr. Jean Griswold. The
company was founded in 1982 by Jean,
a senior care professional who suffered
from Multiple Sclerosis. She
recognized first-hand that the elderly
often lacked the assistance they needed
to remain living independently at
home.
She decided to fill this void, starting
the company in her dining room, and
eventually franchising the concept.
Over the years, Jean built a proven
business model and expanded into 29
states across the country. Jean passed
away in 2017 at the age of 86. Her
leadership, tireless work ethic,
compassion, and entrepreneurial spirit
inspire the entire Griswold family, and
despite her passing, her values live on
in Griswold Home Care today.

make your company stand out from
the competition.
Everyone sells services, but we sell
outcomes. Our approach is more about
understanding what the individual
recipient needs, the family's goals, and
the essence of the client's personality.
We determine what the best version of
the client's day looks like, and we find
a way to recreate that experience every
single day. By understanding the
client's unique circumstances, we can
then match them with the ideal
caregiver.
For example, if a client is experiencing
depression, we will pair them with a
more outgoing caregiver. If they are
anxious, we'll bring in someone with a
calming personality. If we have a client
with functionality issues, we make sure
caregivers are prepared to assist them
in any way necessary. This approach,
which is centered around the outcome
of our services, sets us apart in the
industry.
