Rogerson House holds a unique place in Boston's memory care history: founded in 1997, it was the city's first community dedicated exclusively to individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Located at 434 Jamaicaway in Jamaica Plain—on more than three acres adjacent to Jamaica Pond within Boston's Emerald Necklace—Rogerson House combines exquisite natural surroundings with deep mission-driven expertise in memory care. As a nonprofit, Rogerson House prioritizes resident well-being over financial returns, allowing the team to focus entirely on providing the highest-quality compassionate care for people with memory loss and their families. The boutique scale of the community enables genuinely individualized care—staff develop deep knowledge of each resident's history, preferences, and needs. Raised garden beds, a heated greenhouse, a gazebo, and walking paths along Jamaica Pond provide therapeutic outdoor engagement uniquely suited to memory care residents. Beyond residential memory care, Rogerson House operates a Social Day Program—an option for individuals who prefer to remain at home while still accessing professional dementia programming and social connection during the day. Short-term respite care is also available, supporting caregiving families during periods of rest or transition. The central Boston location, with proximity to museums, Symphony Hall, and the Arnold Arboretum, means residents remain connected to the cultural life of the city. Rogerson House is a deeply trusted resource for Boston families navigating Alzheimer's care.
