Griswold Home Care is a pioneering franchise in the non-medical home care industry, founded in 1982 by Dr. Jean Griswold. The company is headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, and began franchising just two years after its inception in 1984.

Griswold Home Care provides a range of non-medical services, including personal care, companionship, and respite care, aimed at helping the elderly, disabled adults, and those with illnesses remain in the comfort of their own homes.

What sets Griswold Home Care apart from its competitors is its legacy as one of the oldest and most respected brands in the industry. The franchise was the first to offer non-medical in-home care in the United States, establishing high standards that others have since followed.
