Our Story

Burnie: Compassion You Could Count On

Burnie’s Way is more than a name; she was our founder’s mother and a bright light to everyone she met. Burnie had a gift: making everyone feel at home. She remembered the little things: your favorite snack, your story from last week, the way you take your coffee.

When Burnie needed care of her own, her son Gordy realized how important it was to have help that felt just as personal and genuine as she had always been.

While Burnie is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in everything we do. We named our company after her as a promise: that every client and family will feel the same kindness, dignity, and warmth she shared.
