Respite Support – In-Home / Day / Overnight
Flexible respite options
Sometimes carers need a short break to rest, recharge and take care of themselves. St Louis Home Care has a range of respite options:
Short Term Home Respite
Even the most devoted carers need a breather. Our respite service sends a trusted professional - matched for personality and interests - to step in for a few hours. Activities mirror the client’s passions: sorting old photo albums, watering plants, baking in the kitchen or simply chatting over a cup of tea.

Day Respite Care
Carers deserve time to recharge, but loved ones still need expert support, great company and a setting that feels familiar. With St Louis Home Care you can choose the respite that suits you: In‑Home Respite (we come to you) or Day Respite at one of our St Louis Homes facilities.
In‑Home Respite (in your home)
Enjoy a break while your loved one stays comfortable in the place they know best.
- Familiar surroundings: Support provided at home so routines are maintained.
- Personalised assistance: Companionship and activities, help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation and light household tasks.
- Flexible times: From a couple of hours to a full day, one‑off or regular.
- Peace of mind: Ideal when you need to run errands, work or simply rest, knowing your loved one is safe and engaged.
Day Respite (at a St Louis Homes facility)
A welcoming day away — without leaving the warmth of home.
St Louis Day Respite is offered in our purpose‑built homes at Victor Harbor and Aldinga. Sun‑filled, coastal homes designed so guests can relax, socialise and stay active while carers take a guilt‑free pause.
Why families choose St Louis Day Respite:
- Home‑like comfort: Coastal décor, accessible bathrooms and a shaded deck that catches the sea‑breeze.
- Professional care on tap: Personal assistance with medications, continence and mobility provided by trained support workers.
- Inclusive programs: Guests with Younger Onset Dementia or mobility aids participate fully, fostering confidence and dignity.
Flexible funding: Both In‑Home Respite and Day Respite can be privately arranged or funded through My Aged Care or NDIS.
