While many healthcare organizations focus on individual achievements and credentials, we believe our greatest strength is the collective compassion, dedication, and commitment of our entire team.

At Burgess Square, more than 240 employees work around the clock — 24 hours a day, seven days a week — to provide exceptional care, comfort, and support to our patients and residents. From nurses, therapists, and rehabilitation specialists to dietary services, housekeeping, administration, and support staff, every team member plays a vital role in the healing journey of those we serve.

Rather than spotlighting a single individual, we proudly recognize the people who truly define our organization

The Entire Burgess Square Healthcare & Rehabilitation Team

The Owners

Thank you for entrusting your loved one in our care. The four squares in our logo illustrate the mission of Burgess Square Healthcare and Rehabilitation Centre - "We take care of the Residents, Patients, Families and Staff - and the rest takes care of itself." We have a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, led by our medical directors Dr. Daniel Grzegorek & Dr. Tasin Shuaipaj, who continually strive to improve our ability to meet and exceed the needs of our residents and patients. Our Transitional Rehab team works to ensure our patients return to the community at their highest level of functioning possible; the focus is on length of need, NOT length of stay. Our Post-Acute Care and Long Term Care services focus on the highest quality of life for our patients and residents. Leo Buscaglia once said, "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, and honest compliment or the smallest act of kindness, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Burgess Square not only listens, but responds.


In a society often saturated with negativity, we have initiated our "C.A.R.E" customer service program, which instills our philosophy and culture of proactive thinking and positive reinforcement. We are continuously striving to create an environment where employees enjoy their work, allowing them to provide optimal care for our patients.


The sense of family is alive and well at Burgess Square and our door is always open to you. Our staff will communicate with you regularly about your loved one's care. Mark Twain once said, "I can live a month on a good compliment."


Every member of our staff has customer satisfaction at the forefront of their day to ensure your loved one's needs are met. We also realize that compassion heals the places medicine cannot touch. Thank you in advance for sharing your feedback so we can reinforce our staff for a job well done.
