and Teladoc®
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#caregivers–Griswold Home Care, a national provider of services to help seniors age
in place, announces the launch of GriswoldConnect Powered by Teladoc®, a
robust resource that can deliver consumers of all ages access to a live
doctor without appointment or the need to physically travel to one. This

healthcare, with a home care agency.

to the seniors we are serving,” said Griswold Home Care CEO Matt Murphy.
“This partnership aligns with Griswold’s mission to deliver top-quality
homecare, and with our vision to leverage technology to provide the best
possible care-receiving experience. This relationship provides peace of
mind to care recipients, convenience to the care recipient’s families,
and reduced risk of readmission to referral sources.”

help clients and their family members access products and services that
will enhance the in-home care experience for which Griswold is known.
