At the Justin T. Rogers Care Center, there are a variety of unique opportunities for permanent recognition of loved ones, friends, and organizations.

 

The Justin T. Rogers Care Center is situated on 16 wooded acres in Copley Township. It has many courtyards, gardens, trees, a pond and a creek which provide a serene setting and an environment of peace and tranquility. Many of these special amenities honor the memory of loved ones or pay special tribute to the achievements of people and organizations.

 

A special feature on the grounds of the Justin T. Rogers Care Center is the brick memory walk(secured online form). A brick path extends from the Care Center and winds down to the pond, past the Gardens of the Senses and Peace Creek. With the continual development of the Care Center grounds, the walk will extend to other areas. The memory walk is available to all who wish to find peace and hope reflected in the beauty of nature. The walk is wide enough for patients in wheelchairs to travel along the pathways so that they too can enjoy the gardens and grounds for meditation, prayer, and solitude. Continuing the Hospice spirit of caring, the memory walk features inscribed bricks donated as memorials in memory of loved ones or as gifts in honor of special events or people still living.

 

A special brick memory walkway is located in the Veteran’s Remembrance Garden which was created to honor all U. S. war veterans. The garden includes a brick memory walkway with planting beds surrounding a flagpole. Veterans living and dead can be memorialized in this garden.

 

All engraved bricks are double the size of an ordinary brick and feature the name of the person being remembered, which gives a special, standout look to the walk.

 

The minimum donation for each engraved brick is $250. Engraved bricks may be ordered at any time throughout the year and will be placed into the walkway in late spring and late fall. A dedication ceremony is held for family and friends to visit and view the new additions to the memory walk each year.

 

Specially selected trees providing shade and enhancing the natural beauty of the Hospice grounds offer another option for remembering a loved one. Trees will be planted individually or in groups when the season permits and are available for $1,800 each. Call the Development Office at the Justin T. Rogers Care Center to discuss this option. (330-665-1455 or 1-800-335-1455).

 

Vibrant, spectacular gardens dedicated in loving memory of patients and friends of Hospice enhance the grounds. These small, niche gardens surround the Justin T. Rogers Care Center, flow along the creek bed, and outline the edge of the woodlands.

 

Each new garden provides a unique setting for recognition to a special person, family or organization. These gardens will be designed individually by the Hospice landscape architect and will receive tender, loving care from the Garden Curator and wonderful community volunteers. The minimum donation for a Hospice garden is $8,000. Please call the Development Department to make arrangements for this option.
