Journeying with People-in-Need
CWS is committed to providing a comprehensive range of programmes and services to the community. We believe that by offering a ‘Full Circle of Life’ continuum of care, we can support individuals and families at every stage of their lives. Our services include Nursing Homes, social assistance programmes, shelters for rough sleepers and the homeless, and collaborative initiatives with other organisations in the community. We also provide childcare services, youth and family programmes, education programmes for individuals seeking to upskill themselves, and eldercare services for seniors in their sunset years.

St Joseph's Home
Established in 1978, St Joseph's Home (SJH) is a long-term residential care setting that offers nursing, dementia and palliative care. To better serve the community, new programmes such as Dusk-to-Dawn (night respite for persons with dementia) and hydrotherapy have been introduced. In August 2017, the co-located Infant and Childcare Centre was officially opened, which initiated SJH's efforts to strengthen intergenerational relationships.

Night Mission and Shelters
The CWS Night Mission and Shelters were formed to address the needs of the growing number of rough sleepers in the community.
