The Griswold Special Care Home Based Franchise

Griswold Special Care is based out of Erdenheim, Pennsylvania, and was started in 1982 by Jean Griswold. Jean was inspired to start a home care company after a member of her church passed away at home from kidney failure. Jean felt this tragic event might could have been avoided if her elderly friend had had better care at home. Griswold Special Care now has offices across, and outside, America and offers many non medical home care services including: bathing, grooming, dressing, shaving, oral care, skin care, perineal care, bathroom assistance, meal planning, cooking, dish washing, light housekeeping, laundry, shopping, errands, transportation, pet care, plant care, companionship, and more. The company began offering its business concept as a franchise opportunity in 1984.

Franchise owners of a Griswold business opportunity are offered one week of training at company headquarters and two to four days of additional training at the franchisee's own location. Griswold also offers ongoing training through free annual workshops. Continuing support of franchise owners is carried out through various means which include conferences, newsletters, a toll free support line, internet resources, evaluations, and buying co-ops. Marketing support is provided to franchise owners through ad slicks, national media, customized software, regional advertising, and a co-op advertising program.

At the time of this writing the initial franchise fee for a Griswold Special Care franchise was approximately nine thousand dollars. The total investment required to get your Griswold franchise up and running was in the approximate range of fifteen thousand dollars to thirty-nine thousand dollars.
