St Joseph's Cottages were established by the Sisters of St Joseph as cottage care for children who were being prepared for foster care by St Anthony's Home Croydon and Centacare social workers. There were three cottages, with Sisters of St Joseph serving as house mothers. In 2003 St Anthony's and St Joseph's Centre of Care, as the organisation was then known, stopped providing residential and foster care, although it did provide a range of early intervention and family support programmes. In 2004 the organisation changed its name to St Anthony's Family Care.
