Our Board Chair has generously made a six-figure gift toward our Rogerson House redevelopment project. We will commemorate her gift with the dedication of the library on the new building's main level in her name.

The Jeka Family Library.

“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.

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.
