We are excited to announce that the City of Boston has awarded us $3 million for our Rogerson House redevelopment project in Jamaica Plain.

The project includes the creation of 41 new affordable independent living apartments in addition to 66 new memory care units to replace existing services on the campus.

“The new Rogerson House is an intentionally reimagined campus for the older adults of today and tomorrow,” said President and CEO Walter Ramos. “Combining compassionate memory care with sorely needed affordable housing is a powerful manifestation of the Rogerson mission on land we’ve called home for nearly 70 years. We’re incredibly grateful to the City of Boston for supporting this project.”

“We are beyond grateful for Mary’s generous contribution in support of both this project and Rogerson’s mission,” said President and CEO Walter Ramos. “Driving this redevelopment project forward is not just a strategic imperative for our organization but a stark necessity in the face of the senior care crisis. Mary understands this as well as anyone, and has stepped up to add a very personal stake to our efforts."

“We keep thinking about this population in terms of statistics, and not thinking about this population as our grandparents and mothers and fathers … retired teachers, retired firefighters. These are human beings that deserve to age with dignity.”

Thank you to the The Boston Globe for shining a light on the senior care crisis and what Rogerson is doing about it.

Instead of finding a safety net as they age, a wealth gap means that many seniors are unable to afford to pay rent.

Our goal of adding 1,000 new units of housing for older adults over the next five years is as ambitious as it is necessary.

The senior care crisis demands us to act. Our mothers and fathers, grandparents, and loved ones need us now more than ever.

More than supporting the students walking the campus at his alma mater, President and CEO Walter Ramos sees his role as Trustee as an opportunity to create a pipeline of needed professionals into the senior care space.

He hopes this style of outreach and interaction catches on with other leaders in the senior care field, saying it represents a crucial path forward through an uncertain future.

“This is part of your job: Go and bring in a new generation. It’s the sustainability of your organization… because if you don’t have the people, you can’t take care of people.”
