Griswold and Ceresti Health Partner to Expand Dementia Caregiver Support Nationwide

BLUE BELL, Pa. and CARLSBAD, Calif., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Griswold, a leading home care company, and Ceresti Health, a tech-enabled dementia care provider, today announced a partnership to deliver specialized support for people living with dementia and the family caregivers who care for them at home.

Through this partnership, Ceresti's Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE)-aligned dementia care program will connect eligible families with Griswold's nationwide network of caregivers for in-home respite and support services. These services reduce caregiver strain while helping people living with dementia remain safer at home.

"Griswold's mission is built on helping people live with peace of mind and dementia can place that peace of mind out of reach for families," said Matt Ericksen, Vice President of Sales and Operations at Griswold. "Partnering with Ceresti strengthens our ability to support clients and their loved ones with Medicare-supported dementia navigation, education and respite hours, integrated seamlessly with the compassionate care our teams deliver every day."

The partnership is aligned with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) GUIDE Model, an alternative payment model designed to improve care coordination and expand access to supportive services for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Ceresti is a leading, nationwide GUIDE Participant, and Griswold locations will help extend in-home services, especially respite, so eligible families can access Medicare-supported hours where and when they need them.

"Dementia care breaks down when families are left to navigate complex needs alone, especially between physician visits and in the day-to-day realities of the home," said Dirk Soenksen, CEO of Ceresti Health. "Griswold brings decades of trusted in-home experience, and Ceresti brings a structured dementia management program designed to activate caregivers, identify changes earlier, and reduce avoidable crises. Together, we can create a more connected, practical, and scalable approach for families living with dementia."

This partnership reflects a growing recognition across healthcare and home-based care: dementia requires more than episodic support or fragmented resources. By bringing together Ceresti's structured dementia management model with Griswold's trusted in-home presence, the organizations are creating a more practical, connected approach to support families where dementia care actually happens — in the home.
