Griswold Home Care Of Moorhead helps older adults stay in their own homes, whether that means a private house, an assisted living apartment, or a rehab setting, and they provide both very short visits and around-the-clock help, so families can choose the amount of care that's needed-some folks need just an hour or two of support, and others need someone there all the time. The agency is locally owned and licensed in North Dakota and Minnesota, with a team based right in West Fargo, ND, and they've spent over 40 years focusing on in-home, non-medical care like help with bathing, getting dressed, meal making, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and just being there for friendship and outings, plus they even go along to doctor appointments or help mail bills and letters.
Griswold Home Care works with each family to build a personal care plan, so they listen to what each client enjoys, what makes them comfortable, and who they get along with best-sometimes the caregiver might be helping fix meals or go with someone on a walk, other times it's more about playing cards, listening to stories, or helping with a shower and dressing for the day, and some folks need reminders to take medications or help getting ready for bed at night. They offer support for chronic illnesses, injuries, Alzheimer's care, and dementia care, and they do both non-medical daily help and skilled care like medication set-up and injections, or help with physical therapy exercises and incontinence needs.
They do light housekeeping and laundry, give rides, make special diet meals, and even handle things like checking if food's expired, keeping a calendar, and getting folks to community outings or doctor appointments. There's a focus on independence here, with many caregivers trained to encourage social time, activities like arts and crafts, gardening, or movie nights, and giving emotional support when people feel lonely. Move-in coordination, routine safety checks, emergency alert services, and 24-hour call systems build an extra layer of security, and there are also furnished rooms, walking paths, a garden, a dining room, and a common area for community events.
The Care Professionals at Griswold have lots of experience and have been carefully screened, and the staff, including Director Morgan Gilleland, keep the focus on compassion and respect, and clients say the team does a good job supporting both seniors and their families, especially with respite care for family members who need a break. There's a legacy of innovation and local commitment behind Griswold, and the company's been recognized among the top 100 home care agencies in the United States by Home Care Pulse, serving people in Fargo and Moorhead with a straightforward approach that stays focused on helping each person live safely and happily at home.
