St. Joseph’s Residence is a 100-bed non-profit, long-term care facility located at 1149 Leila Avenue in the north-end of Winnipeg. The residence is part of the Catholic Health Network. The MISSION of St. Joseph’s Residence Inc. is to show forth God’s love through respect, reverence and hospitality in the spirit of St. Benedict by fostering compassionate care to the elderly. The staff provides a home-like atmosphere, fostering independence, quality of life and overall customer satisfaction to the elderly. |
On July 2, 1923, four Sisters of St. Joseph’s opened St. Joseph’s Hospital at 160 Salter Street, Winnipeg.
In July 1953, the hospital was renovated to meet the needs of a Residence for Senior Citizens. In 1973,
St. Joseph’s Residence was renovated and licensed as a Personal Care Home by the Government of
Manitoba. Early in 1975, St. Joseph’s Residence was authorized by Manitoba Health to start the
construction of a new building to house the elderly and, in May 1980, sixty-nine residents were moved
from the Residence at 160 Salter Street to their new home on Leila Avenue next to Seven Oaks Hospital.
In March 1990, the Sisters of St. Joseph transferred the ownership of the residence to the Sisters of
St. Benedict who assumed governance responsibility until June 20, 2003, at which time the ownership,
governance and sponsorship of St. Joseph’s Residence were transferred to the Catholic Health
Corporation of Manitoba.
