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.

What a wonderful contribution to an already amazing place. I am sure it has and will continue to provide great enjoyment!!!
Thank you !
National Child Health Day shines a light on the well-being of all children, including those who are medically fragile. ❤️
What does it mean to be medically fragile? Medically fragile are those who require medical intervention for everyday living, often requiring 24/7 care and specialized support. At A Rosie Place for Children, we take immense pride in providing a safe and nurturing environment where these extraordinary children can receive skilled overnight respite care. This service offers their families a much-needed reprieve from the demands of round-the-clock care.
In honor of this day, we’re proud to share a clip from our Emmy-Nominated video, She’s All Set. This inspiring film, produced by The Grotto Network, was recognized by the Chicago/Midwest Chapter for Outstanding Achievement for Diversity/Equity/Inclusion – Short Form Content!🎉
Take a peek and see the heart behind our mission, and the amazing families we’re honored to serve every day. 💖 Check out the full video: arosieplace.org/emmy-nomination/
