The benefits of choosing a local home care provider in Victor Harbor

If you’re thinking about home care for yourself or a loved one in Victor Harbor, there are benefits to choosing a local provider. St Louis Home Care has been providing home care services to the Victor Harbor community since 2016, and we’re immersed in the local community’s arts, events and business activities.

Our home care clients benefit from our close connections in the local community, and we enjoy many of these events and activities together.

A solid social structure and community support improves wellbeing

Our approach to caring for older Australians is to support them to live a life that is more enjoyable and fulfilling than they would have otherwise, and this involves developing community support and a social structure to help people feel connected and engaged in their local communities.

Even though physical health and wellbeing are essential for healthy ageing, we also know that feeling connected to the community we live in has a larger impact than sometimes considered. The world’s oldest and healthiest people live in communities identified as Blue Zones , and there are several reasons for their longevity - community engagement, social structure and good friends being key factors.

At St Louis home care in Victor Harbor, we aim to help develop this for each of our clients and we can offer this through our connections and local presence.
