Rogerson House
Community Partnerships
At Rogerson House, we consider ourselves to be very lucky to be located in such a culturally- and academically-rich area. It allows us to be active in many community, professional, and academic partnerships that are a vibrant part of Jamaica Plain, Boston, and today’s senior care / senior living world. Working with many of Greater Boston’s most engaged schools, institutions, advocates, long-term care resources, and other vitally important organizations builds true community involvement and enrichment for all of those involved!
