Canossa Home

Canossa Home in Ingham is a Catholic residential aged care facility operated by the Canossian Sisters or associated Catholic healthcare providers in the Herbert River sugarcane town of Ingham, 110 km north of Townsville. Canossa Home provides compassionate residential and palliative care rooted in the Canossian tradition of charity and service — named for St Magdalen of Canossa, founder of the Daughters of Charity — serving the Italian-heritage sugarcane community of Ingham and the wider Herbert River valley. Ingham's strong Italian heritage, brought by generations of Italian-Australian cane farmers, is reflected in the cultural and linguistic connections the facility maintains with its predominantly Italian-background community.
