About St Joseph's Home
St Joseph's Home is a nursing home providing eldercare services from its premises at 36 Jurong West Street 24. The listing has been verified by KakiList, and the home holds a 4.1-star rating across 24 Google reviews — a moderate sample that can be treated with reasonable confidence.

No regulatory licences are recorded on this listing, and prospective families should verify MOH or AIC registration independently before proceeding.
When exploring care options for an elderly relative, families typically begin with a care needs assessment covering mobility, medical diagnoses, dementia status, and the level of nursing support required. Nursing homes offer round-the-clock care that visit-based arrangements cannot replicate, and the decision often involves multiple family members. It is worth arranging a guided tour of St Joseph's Home to observe the living environment, staffing ratios, therapy and rehabilitation provisions, and how residents spend their day. Ask about the admission process, medical assessment requirements, and the home's approach to managing chronic conditions or palliative care where relevant.
Contact St Joseph's Home directly by phone or through their enquiry form to ask about current bed availability, the admission criteria, and the full fee schedule including any means-tested subsidies you may be eligible for.
Insist on a trial period and put the care plan, hours, and rate in writing.
A wonderful, warm and loving place. We visit there. It never is easy looking after the elderly and dying. Their relatives can make it harder with their own needs. Nonetheless, the love and patience of the nurses and caregivers is always observed in spite of the difficulty of the elderly and often, their relatives as well. Love the whole concept of the inter generational. One of its kind and very special.
Poor service and staff are unhelpful. They just good at follow protocol blindly, have little care about their residents' well-being and dignity. Encounter staff at the home who lacks empathy and unable to explain issues properly. All they can say is "this is our protocol"! What kind of nursing home is that? Are residents being treated like prisoners?
Went there with one other to see someone. Raining that day. First time there. Don't know anyone except myself and the person I am with. The place is quite nice. There was church in the compound with a big building to house old people. It have cery nice architecture. It have a canteen with what lots like a italy street cafe. Free water and drinks like coffe and tea for me. Have lifts at there. Saw some old church sister nuns in there riding on automated wheelchairs smiling at me. Place recently renovated. Place looks really clean. Have a good system there. Have a abandoned boys home or something beside the compound.
Did not provide drip for my dying grandma, nor did we observe any drip present. She suffered greatly before she passed. Find a better hospice or care home for your dying loved ones.
Love the peacefulness of this Home, visited an Uncle and prayed for him.

St Joseph's Home does not publish a detailed fee schedule on this listing, and pricing is indicated at a mid-range level ($$). Nursing home fees in Singapore typically cover accommodation, nursing care, meals, and basic therapy, and are structured as a monthly rate rather than hourly. Means-tested government subsidies through the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, depending on household income and asset levels. Additional charges to confirm directly include fees for specialist outpatient visits, incontinence supplies, physiotherapy top-ups, and any personal sundries. Public holiday surcharges are uncommon in residential nursing homes but worth clarifying. See the full eldercare cost guide for Singapore →
St Joseph's Home operates as a residential nursing home, meaning care is provided on a full-time, live-in basis rather than through home visits or day-care arrangements. Residents live on-site and receive round-the-clock nursing supervision, personal care, meals, and organised daily activities. Families considering admission should ask about the trial or transition period, how the home manages residents who are unsettled in the early weeks, and the process for raising concerns or requesting care plan reviews. If a full-time residential placement is not yet required, the home's team may be able to advise on whether day rehabilitation or community-based care is a more appropriate first step.
Nursing homes in Singapore operating legally must be licensed by the Ministry of Health (MOH), and staff are expected to meet defined training standards — nursing staff hold nursing qualifications registered with the Singapore Nursing Board, while care assistants typically hold the WSQ Certificate in Healthcare Support. Dementia-specific training is increasingly common in homes that accept residents with cognitive decline. No regulatory licences are recorded on this KakiList listing, so families should confirm MOH licensing directly with St Joseph's Home and verify the home's registration on the MOH Healthcare Institution Locator before admission. Ask specifically about staff-to-resident ratios, dementia care protocols, and the home's insurance arrangements covering both resident welfare and staff-related incidents.
If St Joseph's Home isn't the right fit, these are other nursing homes providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
