We have used Griswold to care for, first, my father and now my mother, over the past two and a half years. With the exception of a couple of caregivers that Griswold quickly switched out, we have been very pleased with the level of care received and the caregivers provided. Most importantly, if one caregiver is unavailable due to illness or vacation, Griswold will provide a replacement so that there are no gaps in care. I would recommend Griswold to anyone looking to provide care/companionship to a parent

For the last year of my father's life, Griswold found a wonderful match in Seth, who became my father's trusted friend and caregiver. Griswold was helpful and cooperative with all arrangements. Other friends have turned to Griswold for dependable and personable home care aides, and I recommend them highly.

For about three years, as his health declined due to Alzheimer’s disease, my father was assisted by aides through Griswold Home Care. The staff at Griswold were all instrumental in making those difficult years as caring and as dignified as we could, and I really only have good things to say about their professionalism, kindness and care. We moved from having daily aides, to 24 hour home-care to finally having a private daily aide while my father was in a nursing home. At each stage, his aides provide compassionate care, helped him remain independent, and gave him much needed social interaction and companionship. The ladies and gentlemen who are employed by Griswold ended up becoming something of an extended family to us during those years. Griswold management staff checked in with my father and his aides regularly, and with their help we were able to maintain consistent care, even through multiple hospitalizations. When my father’s level of agitation and unease made it difficult for him to stay in one place for long, his aide would take him out on errands including stops at the Griswold office to chat with his friends there. Even as his ability to form new memories faded, his intuitive sense of familiar faces made this daily routine of great importance, and I was always touched by how kind and indulgent it was for the office staff to take the time to converse with my father. His final aide, who looked after my father through the end stage, will remain in my esteem as one of the finest people I have ever known. Her amazing strength, warmth and compassion made the final year bearable and I truly felt that in the absence of being able to have family at his side each day, we had the next best thing. The decision to bring in aides in the first place was difficult. We worried that my father would not tolerate strangers in the house, that perhaps the aides might not be trustworthy, and that the expense would be too great. I was referred to Griswold at first because they are a relative bargain, and hoped for the best with our other concerns. By the end, I wished we had called them in sooner. Two years after my father's death, I remain grateful for their help and recommend them highly.

Griswold Home Care staff and caregivers were compassionate and professional in their work. Our father received excellent care over the last two years, and we were able to have the peace of mind knowing that he was in good hands. We highly recommend Griswold.

We began with Griswold in Hackensack 5 years ago. My Mom was recovering from a 2nd broken hip and needed 24 hour a day assistance. We were given a list of prospective agencies at the rehab center in preparation for her leaving. Griswold was the best fit and Roland and Bobbi have been helping us ever since. We have had well prepared, kind and caring aides who have been invaluable help for my Mom. Life and circumstances are never without bumps and challenges but Griswold in Hackensack has calmly worked through the rough spots always with the well being of my Mom coming first. We are very grateful.
