Burgess Healthcare Center was founded by Monty L. Miller and Jacqueline L. Mason in 1984, in dedication to the memory of their great grandmother, Mrs. W. Burgess Nall. Mr. Miller and his aunt, the late Jacqueline L. Mason, have owned and operated Burgess Square as a family endeavor since its inception. This family commitment was born out of their love and dedication to caring for the elderly. The family atmosphere at Burgess Square is evident in the longevity of its staff, some of whom have worked at the facility for over 20 years. Their philosophy of hard work, dedication and fairness to others is the center’s foundation for providing care.

The Burgess Square family lost Ms. Mason to illness in 2008. Wanting to assure that the legacy of caring would continue, Ms. Mason and Mr. Miller have chosen a leadership team that reflects the values and traditions upon which Burgess was founded.

They recruited the administrative team of John Vrba, Anthony Schreiber, and Mike Hensley who came to Burgess in 2008 with a proven record of success in the business of caring. This combination of experience and the stand-alone nature of the facility provide Burgess Square with the ability to implement changes in terms of cutting edge technology and best practices in order to provide state-of-the-art care without the red tape associated with larger organizations. This enhanced efficiency allows the center to provide unprecedented physical and emotional care to its patients and residents.
