Specialized Training
Above and beyond the regulations set by the Massachusetts Assisted Living Federation, all Rogerson House direct care staff complete a 16-hour dementia specialist training which emphasizes communication techniques, appropriate activity programming and behavioral interventions. We follow the staffing ratios recommended by the Alzheimer's Association which ensure individual attention and care.

Ongoing Training
Our staff members regularly work with local training and educational organizations such as SHOWA, the Boston University medical school, the American Red Cross, Wentworth Institute of Technology, University of Massachusetts of Boston, Lesley University and Regis College.

Committed Care
A large percentage of the Rogerson House staff has been with us from the moment we opened our doors in 1997. Staff members encourage residents and day program participants to become involved in activities that promote a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

An Interdisciplinary Care Team
The interdisciplinary care team at Rogerson House is headed by a full-time Assistant Living Director, the Executive Director, a full-time Nurse, Therapeutic Recreation Director, Music Therapist, Chaplain and Admissions Director. Medical, behavioral and dietary experts consult regularly.

Rogerson House holds a contract for medical care with Urban Medical Group. Their professional team of a geriatric doctor and registered nurse practitioner supervises the medical care for the majority of our residents. Because of their close proximity to Rogerson House, their medical team is in-house several days per week for on-site visits.
