2. Brief Introduction

• The Home was set up by Catholic Welfare Services in 1978 to provide shelter, care and love for the aged and the destitute, regardless of race, colour or religion.

• Its day-to-day operations are run by Canossian sisters, who are imbued with the spirit of Foundress, St Magdalene of Canossa, "to love the sick as living images of Christ".

• The Hospice was started in 1985 to cater to the needs of the terminally ill.

• We moved to our current premises in 1993, with bigger and better facilities for our residents.

• The new extension block with additional facilities was completed in September 2002.

3. Mission and Objectives

We provide the aged residents and patients with advanced illnesses a peace-filled environment which values human dignity and enhances the quality of life.

We assist and accompany the residents, giving them love, courage and hope as they prepare to meet God with faith and trust.

We achieve these through compassion, care and prayer.
