Welcome to Griswold Home Care of the Lowcountry serving Beaufort and Jasper counties including the towns of Hilton Head, Bluffton and Beaufort. Griswold Home Care is one of the oldest national non-medical in-home care companies for seniors in the United States. For more then thirty years Griswold Home Care has referred caregivers who have helped thousands of seniors live independently and age in place.
Griswold Home Care humbly began as a volunteer organization in a church, founded by a minister’s wife and staffed by the congregation. The mission of Griswold Home Care has always been to provide quality assistance and care to seniors and the infirmed.
Today, more then thirty years later, our vision remains the same and our principles have not changed. We believe in compassion, patience, open communication, and respect for our seniors, their family members, and the caregivers we refer.
We refer experienced caregivers who provide personal care, homemaking and companionship. No caregiver is referred without completing a rigorous, thorough screening process that includes both a phone and personal interview. Each candidate must also successfully pass a competency exam, a criminal background check and provide a minimum of four references.
As the caregivers we refer have years of providing caring assistance, the reference checks we complete are most often conducted with seniors and people they have cared for in the past. What better way to confirm the qualities of a potential caregiver than to speak to someone they have already provided care for?
If you are looking for home care for yourself or a loved one and would like to better understand what home care should be, please call Mike. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
During the difficult time living with and caring for my mother having Griswold in my corner sending qualified caregivers, which they screened and vetted, was a major help.
If someone didn’t work out, if my mother didn’t click with them, they would find another qualified person.
Since I was still working it was a great time saver to have a service that took care of it all for me.
I’m still in touch with some of the lovely caring caregivers that worked for Mom. Their experience with the end-of-life process was extremely helpful and in the end I feel like they were there for my emotional needs as well as mom’s physical ones.
So grateful that I could keep her at home in her familiar surroundings and could not have done that without Griswold’s service.
All businesses reflect their leadership. For my family, the key to finding quality care-givers is the attitude and ability of its management. Mike Falvo proved smart, compassionate and attentive; all the necessary characteristics I wanted. You cannot go wrong trusting him.
We depended on a regular caregiver from Griswold to assist my mother when she could no longer drive. We could not have been happier with the care that my mother received! Our entire family was grateful for the consistency, warmth and professionalism of our caregiver.
