An Exceptional And Incomparable
Specialty Licensed Hospital

A Rosie Place for Children is Indiana‘s only licensed, not-for-profit, specialty hospital dedicated exclusively to serving the growing number of families with children who are medically fragile. Children who are medically fragile require a skilled level of care to meet their everyday needs. A Rosie Place serves all 92 Indiana counties. Situated on five beautiful acres in South Bend, Indiana, our home is warm, spacious, and colorful featuring nature-inspired themes. A Rosie Place for Children is a home away from home where there are special activities for each child and relationships are built.

Why We're So Vital
For Families

Children who are medically fragile come to A Rosie Place for up to 10 nights at a time for respite stays. During this time, parents are given the gift of time to go on a date night, experience fun activities with their healthy children or enjoy much needed rest. We also host special events throughout the year, families (parents, fragile children, and siblings) are given opportunities to connect with others in a supportive environment and central location.

Giving Tuesday 2025:

Give a Gift That Lives On

We’re inviting our community to sponsor a ceiling tile for HeARTworks Studio, a first-of-its-kind creative space designed specifically for medically fragile children. Each tile becomes a canvas for one child’s imagination — painted with joy, personality, and possibility — and displayed forever in a place where creativity knows no limits.

When you sponsor a ceiling tile, you’re not just giving a donation.
You’re giving a child the chance to express themselves, to be seen, and to leave their mark on a space built just for them.

Hey Facebook, we need your help spreading the word! We're hiring a talented and energized Clinical Nurse Manager to join our growing team.

As Indiana’s only specialty hospital dedicated exclusively to these children, our space feels more like family than a facility. Our leaders help set that tone every single day, supporting teams and championing extraordinary care

Real Reviews From Families & Guests

We love to take our daughter Amelia to the Rosie Place! She enjoys her time with the Rosie staff. They understand and cater to her special needs. The staff continuously communicates with us in our absence.

A Rosie Place is the friendliest respite facility that cares for medically fragile children!
Truly amazing asset in the community for the medically fragile population ! Not only is it a place for kids who don't get to do the 'normal' fun kid things, but it also gives a rest to the families who are sometimes 24/7 caregivers to these children!
A truly magical, one-of-a-kind sanctuary for medically fragile children. So special in so many ways, just like the children and families it serves!
A great place of love and comfort for clients and families alike!
