Best memory care housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
MELBOURNE: The shortlist for the best memory care housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Rogerson Communities has received a $665,000 grant from the Charles H. Farnsworth Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, to support the redevelopment of its flagship memory care community, Rogerson House, in Jamaica Plain.
The funding will help advance plans to transform the 3.2-acre campus, located across from Jamaica Pond, into a larger community offering both affordable senior housing and expanded memory care services.
The redevelopment will include the construction of 41 affordable independent living apartments and 66 new memory care units, replacing the existing memory care facility. The six-story building will also house Rogerson’s memory care social day program, a Fitness FIRST center, and more than 20,000 square feet of outdoor space, including four landscaped garden areas.
The project is part of Rogerson’s broader effort to expand its housing and care services in response to the growing demand for affordable senior housing and dementia care across Massachusetts.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
