Rogerson Communities

Rogerson Communities Rogerson believes in the art of well-being for older adults & families. Our team is dedicated to it!

Rogerson Communities offers housing for low-income elders in the Boston neighborhoods of Jamaica Plain, Chinatown, Roxbury, Beacon Hill, West Roxbury and Roslindale. Residential care programs in West Roxbury, Back Bay and Wrentham. Rogerson also develops and managers moderate-income residences in Roslindale, South Weymouth, West Roxbury and Worcester. Adult day health and dementia day programs are offered in Roslindale and Roxbury with meals and transportation. Rogerson's state-of-the-art strength training program, Rogerson Fitness First, is offered to residents and day program participants. Fitness First is a physician-approved, trainer-supervised program that utilizes specially-calibrated machines designed to target the specific muscle groups that can improve elders' ability to perform activities of daily living. Rogerson Communities works in partnership with other non-profits to maximize their assets and offer more to elders at all levels of need. Our real estate development expertise has allowed other non-profits such as Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center, Sophia Snow House, Forward, Inc./Council of Elders of Roxbury, Pond Home of Wrentham and Mount Pleasant Home to vastly improve their facilities and services for elders.

“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.

With a portfolio split between affordable housing and senior living, Rogerson Communities is expanding its presence throughout the Boston metropolitan

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.”

Rogerson President and CEO Walter Ramos joins his alma mater's board of trustees and urges more students to consider the senior care field.

“This is a big issue that we have to be prepared for. And in my opinion, and those of us who work in this field know, we’re not ready for it yet.”

GBH toured Rogerson House as part of this important story, shedding critical light on the need for more memory care in Massachusetts.

For many families, the decision to place a loved one in a memory care facility is heartbreaking.

“The COO role calls not just for deep knowledge of senior living, housing, and care services, but also a passion for mission-driven work like ours. It demands excellence in operational and team leadership, strategic ex*****on, compliance and risk management, and financial stewardship. Mike has all of that and more. He’s a great fit for this organization.”

Rogerson Communities has hired Michael Quirk as its new Chief Operating Officer and will join the organization's leadership.
