When you give to St Joseph’s Home, you’re not just meeting the nutritional needs or day-to-day requirements of our residents and staff.

You’re also helping to forge a new narrative on how we should come together to look after our elders, especially those who cannot take care of themselves anymore or who don’t have any family to support them.

Because before these seniors arrived, they were once active and independent. And many of them still feel that way even though their bodies disagree. So why should coming to a care home or being in a wheelchair change the way they live their later years?

And why should we outsource care to others when the responsibility is on us to support our seniors the way we’d like to be supported when we grow older?

When you give, you make your voice heard. About the need to redefine the way we think about ageing and what it means to look after our elders well.
