The Jean Griswold Foundation

Supporting Those Who Support Others

Caregivers are the backbone of a home care company. Without the dedication, compassion, and hard work of a caregiver, our purpose of giving people the help they need to live in the place they love would be impossible to achieve. We recognize the critical role of caregivers, and that is why the Jean Griswold Foundation focuses solely on caregivers. Our mission is to support them with educational opportunities and scholarships.

We are excited to announce that we have awarded $12,000 in scholarships to six overachieving caregivers from across the country! Congratulations to:

Alise Perkins, a caregiver with Griswold Homecare of North Houston Area looking to complete her final prerequisite courses so she can apply to a graduate school program for occupational therapy
Jessica Perez, a caregiver with Griswold Home Care of San Antonio looking to earn her CNA
Stephanie Caudle, a caregiver with Griswold Homecare of Wnston Salem looking to complete her LPN and license in social work
Analisa Martinez, a caregiver with Griswold Home Care SE Houston who recently decided to change her career path to polysomnography at her local Community College
LaKecia Robinson, a registered caregiver with Griswold Home Care of Columbia looking to start a CNA program and become a registered nurse

Joanna George, a caregiver and student at the Gerontology College of Public Affairs and Community Service, who has been accepted into medical school.

Each caregiver will receive $2,000 to continue their education in a care-related field. These caregivers have displayed enduring dedication, arduous work ethic, and abiding motivation, and we are thrilled to provide the financial support they deserve.

Jean Griswold founded Griswold Home Care out of her heartfelt desire to help people, especially Caregivers. Her legacy lives on through the mission of the Jean Griswold Foundation. Stay tuned for information regarding the 2023 Scholarship Program launching on National Caregiver’s Day in February 2023, which promises to be even more rewarding!

"With humility and appreciation, we recognize the critical role of our caregivers. The pandemic was an astonishing reminder of just how important they are to society. The Jean Griswold Foundation is proud to focus its efforts towards supporting caregivers everywhere, and we look forward to awarding scholarships and grants throughout the coming years.”

“We found the people who were such a wonderful match for Mom and I’ve been able to have them consistently. Griswold supported the fact that I would like the same person consistently. I know now a caregiver is at home with Mom.”
- Angelika
“It’s great to have an agency like Griswold that you can go to to help you with the things that you need. Pick up that phone and call and say, “I need help,” and Griswold say, “Okay, what can we do for you?”
- Tony and Linda
“She always calls me when she has a day off or when she leaves. She always calls and I tell my friends, I said, “My aide calls me even when she’s not here.” They can’t believe that.”
- Harriet
“What we liked about Griswold was the flexibility that they provide. They provide all kinds of service. They’re very respectful of our conditions. They help where we need them. They let us do what we want to do. They can do whatever we ask them.”
- Leroy, Joyce & Stacey
“I'm truly grateful for the caregivers that helped us through the difficult time of our dad's passing. They provided excellent caregivers and covered the times we needed some rest. Everybody on their staff is easy to work with and understanding.”
