Day of relocation from Mandai to 36 Jurong West Street

old one but due to road realignment, the new home was
given a new address.
MOVING A SECOND
TIME
In 2013, the idea to build a third
version of St Joseph’s Homs was
mooted. This was to address
not only the impending land
lease expiry, but to respond to
the government’s call for more
aged care support. So a design
team was formed to oversee the
development of the new care
space which will build on the
foundation of the first two homes.
Looking back, Sr Mary says she
is happy with the way the home
has turned out. Even after 40 years,
“the home is still true to its mission
of looking after those most in need
and is transforming itself to meet
the needs of the future senior
cohorts.” StJ
