COMMEMORATIVE QUILTS TOURING THE UNITED STATES
AS TRIBUTE TO HOME CARE

Erdenheim, Pennsylvania, May 7, 2007 – GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE, the world’s oldest multinational, non-medical home care company, announces the upcoming national tour of their 25th Anniversary Commemorative Quilts, each lovingly comprised of 10” square patches designed and crafted by people most affected by home care, from the 17 U.S. States where GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE offices are located. These quilts serve as a tribute to the Clients, Caregivers, Directors, Client families, referral sources and others associated with home care, as well as a reminder to all Americans of the impact home care has had upon the lives of older adults and those living with disabilities. These quilts also represent the warmth, security and peace of mind that quality home care provides, to all of those who will be able to see them on display as they tour the nation on loan to major hospitals, assisted living facilities, physician’s offices and other organizations, as community outreach and to build awareness of the benefits of home care.

Sponsored by GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE, the quilts also commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Jean Griswold’s founding of GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE, as a result of which she revolutionized the home care industry, which until that time had offered few options for older persons and those living with a disability. Today, GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE is a national leader in the home care industry with 90 offices in 17 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia, as well as operations in South Korea and Mexico.

Organizations interested in hosting one of the Commemorative Quilts for display may contact their local office of GRISWOLD SPECIAL CARE, or the corporate headquarters in Erdenheim, Pennsylvania, at 215-402-0200.
