Griswold Home Care for North San Diego is proud to be recognized as a Positive Approach to Care® (PAC) Designated Organization since January 2025.

Griswold Home Care for North San Diego has earned the prestigious Positive Approach to Care® (PAC) Designation, setting a new standard for compassionate, person-centered dementia care in the region. Discover how their innovative approach is enhancing lives and empowering families to thrive with confidence and connection.

SAN DIEGO, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Griswold Home Care for North San Diego has been officially recognized as a Positive Approach to Care® (PAC) Designated Organization, solidifying its leadership in compassionate, person-centered dementia care. As the only organization in the region to achieve this distinction, Griswold Home Care is setting a new benchmark for excellence in dementia support. Dementia, a progressive brain disease, currently affects approximately 60,000 individuals in San Diego County and is projected to impact 13.8 million Americans nationwide by 2060. Beyond cognitive decline, dementia disrupts behavior and relationships, placing emotional and physical strain on family care partners, who often face heightened risks of stress, anxiety, and depression.

Developed by internationally recognized dementia care expert Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, PAC™ is an evidence-based approach that enhances the quality of life for individuals experiencing brain change. Snow, a leading dementia educator and occupational therapist with over 40 years of experience, developed the PAC™ approach to empower care partners with practical, hands-on techniques that prioritize dignity, engagement, and meaningful interactions. Her teaching style integrates medical research, real-world caregiving experiences, and brain science to help families and professionals better understand the challenges of living with dementia.

Achieving PAC® designation reflects our commitment to compassionate, person-centered dementia care," said April Kohnen, Owner and Director. "By embracing PAC™ principles, we empower clients, families, and care partners to foster dignity, connection, and meaningful engagement.

"Griswold Home Care for North San Diego's commitment to PAC™ has been evident for some time," said Teepa Snow, internationally renowned dementia care expert and founder of PAC. "With a PAC Trainer and Coach in leadership, they have gone beyond checking boxes to truly integrate PAC™ principles into their culture. Their focus on fostering connections and dignity in care embodies the spirit of a PAC™ Designated Organization."

As a PAC™ Designated Organization, Griswold Home Care for North San Diego has adopted innovative yet practical dementia care techniques that emphasize partnership and meaningful interactions. Unlike traditional care models, PAC™ helps care partners work with individuals experiencing brain change rather than simply providing care to them. This approach fosters positive relationships, reduces stress, and enhances well-being for both clients and their families.

"Earning PAC™ designation is a milestone that reflects our passion for person-centered dementia care," said April Kohnen, Owner and Director of Griswold Home Care for North San Diego. "By embedding PAC™ principles into our care model, we ensure clients, families, and care partners feel supported, respected, and empowered."
