The social services department also serves as a "resident advocate" to insure that the rights and desires of the residents are observed.

St. Joseph’s Home provides a balanced and ongoing program of activities designed to meet the interests and physical, mental and psychosocial needs of each resident. Programs are coordinated by experienced activity directors and staff. Volunteers assist the staff with many activities. Each resident's care plan addresses their individualized activity needs. Activities are as much therapeutic as they are recreational. Choose from large group programs as well as one-on-one sessions.
