Griswold Special Care
Founder Jean Griswold’s message of “We’ll care for you” can apply to people in need, their families, and franchisees. Griswold Special Care refers caregivers who provide personal care, homemaking, companionship, and other in-home nonmedical care services. If you’re interested in becoming a company franchisee, you’ll receive training and startup/ongoing support such as proprietary software for scheduling and financial reporting and an intranet resource center, with forms, letters, advertisements, and other essential tools for running the business. Franchisees also have access to third-party insurance contracts and billing as well as regulatory and marketing assistance, including an ongoing supply of free marketing brochures.
