Griswold Home Care for New Haven County provides non-medical home care services in Hamden and surrounding Connecticut communities. The organization offers personal care, homemaking, companionship, and support for individuals with chronic conditions, illnesses, or injuries, allowing clients to remain in their own homes as they age.
The care services include gentle, hands-on assistance with essential tasks such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and hygiene. Griswold also provides companionship for activities, hobbies, errands, conversation, and outings, along with helpful support for light housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, and meal preparation. Additional services include live-in home care, memory care, medication reminders, and end-of-life comfort care coordinated with hospice teams.
Founded over 33 years ago by Cathy Howard and her mother Frances Malafronte, Griswold Home Care for New Haven County serves clients across numerous towns including Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Branford, Cheshire, Derby, East Haven, Guilford, Madison, Meriden, Middlebury, Milford, Naugatuck, North Branford, North Haven, Northford, Orange, Oxford, Prospect, Seymour, South Britain, Southbury, Wallingford, Waterbury, West Haven, Wolcott, and Woodbridge. The local office is backed by a national brand with over 40 years of experience in home care.
Griswold does not use a one-size-fits-all approach to care planning. The organization takes time to understand each client and family's unique needs and customizes care plans accordingly, with the ability to adjust services as circumstances change over time. The Jean Griswold Foundation provides scholarships for care professionals pursuing further education in care-related fields.
