Caring for aging loved ones at home shouldn't mean sacrificing quality of life – yours or theirs. Juan Crespin, owner of Griswold Home Care for Laguna Hills, joins us to share how professional home care creates independence and dignity for seniors while giving family caregivers essential support.

Juan's journey into caregiving began at a young age, evolving from personal experience caring for family members into a fulfilling career spanning nursing assistance, memory care direction, and healthcare administration. His firsthand understanding of caregiver burnout drives Griswold's mission to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps seniors thrive in their own homes.

We tackle persistent myths about home care – from the belief that families should "do it all" themselves (leading to inevitable burnout) to misconceptions about cost. Juan explains how home care often proves more affordable than assisted living facilities, especially with part-time care, and outlines payment options including long-term care insurance and VA benefits that many families overlook. As an LGBTQ+ owned and operated organization serving South Orange County communities from Irvine to Dana Point, Griswold Home Care exemplifies their core philosophy: "Whether you're receiving care or providing it, you are welcome here, just as you are."
