A Rosie Place for Children is located in South Bend, Indiana. They are the first (and only) specialty hospital in the state of Indiana exclusively for children who are medically fragile. They are a highly equipped hospital, able to care for the most complex pediatric conditions, while striving to emphasize a home-away-from-home environment. 

​

A child who is medically fragile requires daily care by specially trained caregivers (above and beyond typical parenting). Children who are medically fragile require the use of therapies and/or specialized high tech medical equipment (such as G-Tubes, ventilators, apnea monitors, suction machines) to sustain or enhance their lives.

​

The rooms at A Rosie Place include six unique kid-friendly bedrooms. The home is warm, spacious and colorful featuring nature-inspired themes. The saltwater aquarium, colorful murals, outdoor pond and waterfall are just some of the fun features the children love. Families choose this respite care service for a variety of reasons. Our staff understands the importance of continuity in each child’s care, and respects the role of the caregiver at home. An in-depth assessment is provided by one of our registered nurses to ensure quality care and comfort.
