Griswold Home Care with Cheryl Scheidell Griswold has 40+ years of national trust, with local, community-based care. We prioritize caregiver matching, oversight, and client-first service. Why is it important to think about home care and aging in place before you actually need it? Planning, Choosing, or Crisis – most families wait until their hair is on fire. • Arizona has one of the fastest-growing senior populations in the U.S. • Griswold specializes in stepping in quickly during a crisis, but planning ahead gives families choice and peace of mind. Private arrangements may seem less expensive, but risks are high – no coverage, no insurance, no training, no backup. Griswold offers trained, insured, supervised caregivers with guaranteed backup. Private hires may save a little upfront, but the long-term costs and risks are far greater. Home care is like insurance – better to have it in place before you need it. Early relationships build trust and guarantee support.  

In this episode, we're going to speak with Lin Sue Flood Director of Community Engagement for Arizona's leading Hospice - Hospice of the Valley... We'll discuss the misconceptions with Hospice, what it is, who pays, how soon to choose Hospice & Why Non-Profit matters....Their White Dove Thrift Stores, Pet Therapy and Saluting our Veterans.  I hope you enjoy.
