For almost 40 years, St Joseph’s Home has been caring for our elders including the dying. Now that we’re back in Jurong West with bigger and better facilities, we will continue to care for them while staying true to our philosophy of regarding every resident as a Person, not Patient. Our relocation also presents a fresh opportunity for us to redefine the way we look after our elders and to forge a new narrative in ageing with the community. We are working hard to make that change and hope you will join us on this exciting journey!
