Mount Saint Joseph long-term care is home to 100 residents. A distinctive feature of the program at MSJ is that the long-term population is predominantly Cantonese. Our care program is sensitive to the cultural beliefs, care needs and communication needs of this Chinese population, and of all our populations.
