HISTORY / BACKGROUND

St. Joseph's Home was set up by the Catholic Welfare Services in 1978 to provide shelter, care and love for the aged and destitute, regardless of race or religion. It was the late Dr. Ee Peng Liang's vision and untiring efforts that made this possible.

The Canossian Sisters volunteered their services for the administration and running of the Home. They were fully involved right from the beginning of its conception to the present day-to-day care of the residents.

In 1985, there was a pressing need to care for patients with advanced illness, and Dr. Ee was once again instrumental in starting the hospice. In 1993, we moved to our present premises, with the promise of bigger and better facilities for our residents.

In the 2 decades of nursing and caring for the aged and those with advanced illnesses, we have stayed on course with our aims and objectives whilst raising public awareness of the specific needs of the aging society in Singapore.

Our philosophy of giving the best quality of life to our hospice patients and support for their caregivers is strongly endorsed by, and supported by our team of Canossian Sisters, staff, and volunteers of St. Joseph's Home.

For more than 20 years, the dedication and commitment of staff and the pool of volunteer doctors, nurses and other caregivers, the generosity of donors and benefactors have all in one way or another brought much joy and relief to our residents.
