## Story

Dorothy "Dottie" Kielman recently celebrated her 100th birthday, surrounded by her six children, 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

The Griswold Home Care team was at Dottie's home along with her family to present her with some gifts and a letter from City Councilman Tom Quirk to celebrate this incredible milestone.

When Dottie is not spending time with her loved ones; she enjoys gardening, bird watching, making ceramics, playing the piano, and bowling - she’s even in the 10-pin bowling league! She's also an active member of her church and women sodality. All things she is still capable of doing thanks to the team at Griswold that provides her excellent home care.

Established in 1982, Griswold was the first non-medical home care franchise in the U.S. It offers nearly 40 years of experience providing quality home care to the elderly, disabled adults and others recovering from illnesses. Today, with a proven business model for success, Griswold is a brand leader in home health care, with nearly 200 territories in 30 states.
