About St Louis Care
Founded in 1946 by nurse Dorothy Mary Naish to care for war veterans, St Louis Care continues today under the leadership of her grandson, Maris Naish. Building on her legacy, the organisation has grown with a focus on delivering excellence in individualised care and support.
St Louis Nursing Home, located in Parkside, has expanded over time to 55 beds and is renowned for its boutique appeal, kind, personalised care and welcoming family atmosphere.
A pioneer in aged care, we introduced Home Care Packages since 1998, dementia-specific care in 2003 and LGBTIQA+ packages in 2007. Since 2017, we have specialised in Younger Onset Dementia Homes as a registered NDIS provider. In 2025, we expanded to offer Allied Health services statewide.
