Dementia care is part of services

Families mention dementia support as a key reason they trusted the team.

Several reviewers specifically bring up dementia, describing caregivers who helped during challenging days and mobility changes.

Another family explains needing help after a dementia diagnosis and says the staff helped relieve stress as routines and needs evolved.

24-hour coverage for urgent needs

Some families sought and received around-the-clock coverage during urgent periods.

A couple of reviews describe booking Griswold for short-term, high-need situations that required 24/7 or 24-hour care. In one case, the family says the team responded quickly, hired caregivers for that time, and helped bring peace of mind.
