Meet The Owners of Our Elderly In Home Care Services Franchise

The Bassola Family

George and Bernadett Bassola took the reigns of the Coronado Comfort Keepers® franchise in 2013 and have settled into sunny San Diego along with their small daughter and newborn son. Both George and Bernadett experienced care giving in their earlier years. Near the end of college, Bernadett became the full time attendant to her grandfather until his death in 2000.

George's beloved mother, Gyorgyne "Margit" Bassola, October 5, 1944 - January 29, 2001

Originally from Hungary, George returned there from the U.S. when his mother became gravely ill with lung cancer. The experience of caring for her gave him first hand knowledge of the challenges of providing warm, quality in home care services in a dignified, supportive manner. Sadly, George lost his mother on January 29, 2001.

Many years after George and Bernadett moved back to the United States from Hungary, the memories of caring for their loved ones stayed with them. He realized the challenges faced by many “sandwich generation” families torn between caring for growing children and aging parents. The work that George and Bernadett do with Comfort Keepers®, providing leading elderly in home care services, helps ease the stress and improve the quality of life for families just like their own.
