Celebrating Four Decades of Quality Care ~ 1982 - 2022
Get Started
After a three-year hiatus, Pennsylvania-based Griswold Home Care has begun franchising again, is once again prospecting franchise directors, according to Home Health Care News.
Griswold Home Care has more than 170 locations in 30 states.
Griswold took a break from the franchising game in 2014 amid incoming regulations for the industry.
Griswold had learned of forthcoming regulations that would require home care providers to pay overtime and minimum wage to workers in the industry — something that hadn’t been part of the industry since 1973.
Since those regulations went into effect at the end of 2015, Griswold has allowed the dust to settle and is now prepared to once again start growing with franchises.
[Now], the regulations are in effect, and of course you have to figure out how to operate the business and meet those needs, we understand the landscape and how to operate in it.
While Griswold paused its franchise prospecting, it continued to operate its 19 company-owned locations in four states. There are no plans to add more company-owned locations.
However, Griswold also underwent significant changes over the last few years beyond renegotiating its contracts with its franchisees. The company also moved over from an independent contractor model to having full-time employees.
We’ve now been operating with full employment [status] since the beginning of 2016. We’re very confident in what it takes to transition to the full employment world. There’s never been a better time than where things are at today.
Griswold hopes to add between 30 and 40 new franchisees per year.
