Trust our family to take care of you
Welcome to St Louis Care
Our door is always open.
We invite you to book a private tour of our home.
St Louis feels like home.
Founded in 1946 by nurse Dorothy Mary Naish, St Louis Care began with the establishment of St Louis Nursing Home in Parkside. Today, her legacy proudly continues through her grandson, Maris Naish, our current CEO.
St Louis Nursing Home is warm and welcoming, often described as a “small nursing home with a big family of care.”
With three generations of dedicated experience, we remain committed to redefining excellence in individualised, person-centred care to empower people to live life fully by providing support and care tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle choices.
Our core values— inclusion, choice, dignity, and respect — are at the heart of everything we do.
We invite you to book a private, personalised tour and look forward to welcoming you into the St Louis Care family.
Jane, Ken, Ali and the Naish family.
Our nursing home feels like home
From the moment you step into St Louis Nursing Home, you’ll feel the warmth, comfort, and sense of belonging that comes with being part of our St Louis Care family.
Our dedicated nursing team provides personalised support, compassionate care, and companionship, ensuring everyone feels at home.
Our home is designed to be welcoming for everyone. Whether you’re enjoying our lovely courtyards, gardens, dining areas, or relaxing in our alfresco and barbecue spaces, there’s always a welcoming spot for you. Our café is open for you to enjoy coffee with friends, family, or a quiet moment with the daily paper.
Our nutritious meals are freshly prepared daily on-site, featuring a delicious daily à la carte menu to suit your tastes. We offer additional services, including a hairdresser, physiotherapists, allied health professionals, a podiatrist, and local GP services.
Our friendly cats, Percy and Poppy, are always nearby for a cuddle, and with a little help from our staff, your small pets are welcome to visit too.
Our home is your home.

Fees
Basic Daily Fee:
This fee covers basic expenses as set by the Department of Health. It is an amount that everyone pays for the day-to-day services they receive in residential care, including meals, utilities, cleaning, and laundry. This fee is reviewed and updated quarterly.
Means Tested Fee:
This fee is set by Centrelink based on an assessment of a resident’s income and assets. Residents are not required to submit their income or assets for assessment, but non-disclosure to Centrelink results in payment of the maximum means tested fee. This fee is subject to both annual and lifetime caps. Please refer to the My Aged Care website for the means tested fee calculator.
Accommodation Payment:
This is for your accommodation and can be paid as either a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), a Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP), or a combination of both.
The RAD is a lump sum payment for a room in residential care, similar to a bond, and is refundable upon exit. The published
price is for residents who are not eligible for Australian Government assistance. To be eligible for government assistance, you must meet the income and assets criteria.
The DAP is determined by the interest rates published by the Department of Health at the time of entry into permanent care. It is a daily payment that contributes to the cost of accommodation and is paid periodically (fortnightly or monthly). The DAP is not refundable. It is calculated based on the RAD, multiplied by the maximum permissible interest rate and divided by 365 days. This interest rate is set by the government and reviewed regularly.
Extra Service Fee:
St Louis Nursing Home has been granted Extra Service status, meaning we provide quality hotel-style services. The fee is set at $51.82 per day (effective 1st July 2023).
