Special Caregiver Programs
GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE is committed to enhancing the professionalism and status of the professional Caregiver in the home care and long-term care fields. To that end, GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE offers a variety of programs geared toward elderly, senior, specialized disability and in-home Caregivers.
Read the following to view descriptions of current Caregiver and supportive care programs:
Caregiver Health Programs
In recognition of valued Caregivers, GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE has available optional health programs from AmeriPlan USA® and Nationwide Insurance. These discount supplemental health programs are administered independent of GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE and Caregiver participation is entirely optional. In addition to the two health programs, we have on the Caregiver section of the website, information on self-insurance providers listed by state.
Caregivers must be registered with a local GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE office. New Caregivers are eligible for up to 30 days after they have been cleared and added to the registry to enroll into the Nationwide program. The Ameriplan USA® program has an open enrollment through out the year.
For additional information on Caregiver resources, please call (215) 402-0200.
Caregivers' Companion
In an effort to encourage Caregiver communication and participation, GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE produces the national Caregivers' newsletter Caregivers' Companion. The newsletter is available three times a year during the months of March, July, and November. Customized issues of the publication are also available through your local caregiver office and reflect relevant local caregiver and home care news articles.
All Caregivers are invited and encouraged to submit news articles, share relevant personal experiences in home care as a Caregiver, put forward suggestions, provide feedback, and introduce discussion topics. This publication is available to all the GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE offices and allows the Caregivers a wonderful networking opportunity and greater participation in the process.
We are interested in what you have to say. To submit your feedback, questions, or suggestions, please call (215) 402-0200 Ext: 114 or (888) 777-7630 Ext: 114
For registered Caregivers, please contact your local home care office to receive the most recent issue of Caregivers' Companion.

Caregiver Scholarship Program

The Foundation sponsors a scholarship award program for the benefit of deserving individuals in the community at large.
The program provides financial assistance to qualified but financially limited persons, to obtain health education, home care certification, and skills training. Each scholarship is a one-time cash award paid directly to the school or agency providing the class or training.

Caregiver Program Updates
In a continued effort to serve a wide population in need of excellent home care services, GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE is launched the Younger Adult Assistive Services Division in April 2005.
The result of doctoral research carried out by Dr. Kent. C. Griswold, President of GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE, the new division is aimed at referring Caregivers who provide quality and affordable home care services to persons living with disability.
To this end, GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE has approached organizations affiliated with specific diseases or conditions in a collaborative effort to develop Caregiver certification programs. The certification program currently in development will offer Caregivers two levels of certification in various specialty areas.
Additional information on the certification program will be made available through your local offices in the near future.
