Sam Aisawa

Owner and Chief Executive Officer

Sam joined Comfort Keepers in 2013 as a caregiver after leaving a career in banking to care for her grandmother. Inspired by that experience and her passion for helping seniors, she earned her degree in Health Information Technology and, in 2016, joined the administrative team alongside Tom Berard and Jeanne Anderson.

Sam’s early leadership roles included business development and care coordination, where she quickly demonstrated her dedication to both clients and caregivers. She later assumed responsibility for business operations, and in 2022, she was named President of the Anoka and White Bear Lake offices.

Her commitment to helping seniors age gracefully in the comfort of their own homes has remained at the heart of her work. That same passion led her to pursue ownership of the business from Tom and Bev Berard, which officially became a reality on March 9, 2026.

Today, Sam works tirelessly to ensure her team delivers the highest quality care to clients throughout Anoka, Ramsey, Isanti, Sherburne, Chisago, and Washington Counties.

Tom & Beverly Berard

Founders (Retired)

Tom and Bev Berard founded our Comfort Keepers franchise in 2007, inspired by a deep desire to help seniors live more fulfilling, independent lives as they grow older, while also supporting the families who care for them. Their leadership, compassion, and commitment to serving others helped build a business rooted in dignity, trust, and exceptional care.

In 2016, Sam Aisawa joined the administrative team, and over the years, Tom and Sam developed a strong working relationship as they shared a passion for home care and a vision for the future. As Sam grew in leadership and experience, it became clear that she was uniquely prepared to carry the mission forward.

After nearly 20 years of dedicated service, Tom and Bev made the heartfelt decision to entrust the business to Sam, confident that the values they worked so hard to establish would continue to thrive under her leadership. Their transition reflects not only thoughtful planning, but also a deep commitment to the clients, families, and caregivers who have been at the center of their work from the very beginning.

Although Tom and Bev have stepped away from ownership, their legacy remains an important part of who we are. Tom continues to stay connected to the team from time to time, a reflection of the lasting care and devotion he has always had for the mission.
