Griswold Home Care for Philadelphia Center City

What aging with dignity means to us...

To us, aging with dignity means empowering seniors to remain in the place they cherish, free from unnecessary compromise, loneliness, or fear. It’s about ensuring every client receives the respect, privacy, and autonomy they deserve—whether that’s a gentle assist with grooming, or companionship that keeps them connected to their community. Inspired by Griswold’s Live Assured promise, we stand by that commitment every day.

Our caregivers are...

Our Care Professionals are more than hired hands—they are compassionate companions, skilled partners, and trusted friends. Selected through rigorous screening, background checks, and training programs, they bring warmth, patience, and reliability into each home visit. Many stay with families for years, building connections anchored in empathy, professionalism, and joy—which is why clients consistently say “This was a match that was meant to be.”

The care we offer is unique because...

We have more than 40 years of proven experience, blending national expertise with genuine local connection. Our Care Professionals are thoroughly screened, continuously trained, and embraced by the Jean Griswold Foundation scholarship initiatives. Our services span personal care, homemaking, companionship, and specialized support—from dementia and post-surgery recovery to overnight and live-in assistance. We innovate with options like 24/7 Live-In Care and a nimble local office infrastructure that responds rapidly.

Important to remember when caring for someone...

Every person is individual—no one-size-fits-all care; tailoring matters. Respect and empathy aren’t extras—they’re essential. Communication is key—listening deeply is just as vital as delivering services. Safety and dignity go hand-in-hand, especially when assisting with personal tasks like bathing or mobility support. Consistency builds trust—having dedicated caregivers fosters comfort, familiarity, and emotional well-being.

What person-centered care means to us...

At Griswold, person-centered care means placing each client at the heart of everything we do—recognizing their unique story, preferences, and goals. We work in partnership with them and their families to build a tailored care plan that reflects their values, routines, and comfort zones. From choosing the right Care Professional to staying attuned to evolving needs, we ensure care flows around the individual, not the other way around. This approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and dignity—values central to Griswold’s mission to help people Live Assured.
