Because of the historic significance, the whole site of the St Joseph's Home for the Aged is graded as Grade I historic building. The Dormity A, the Gate House and the Villa in St Joesph's Home for the Aged are also graded as .

The site is now under reconstruction after the home of the aged has moved; some of the historical buildings would be preserved ''in suit''.
