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.

Every masterpiece begins with possibility, and HeARTworks Studio: Sculpted by The Schwartz Wiekamp Foundation is no exception. 🎨✨

Thanks to the incredible generosity of The Schwartz Wiekamp Foundation, our naming sponsor, medically fragile children will have a creative space to express themselves in ways words often can't. Your support isn’t just funding art—it's unlocking new worlds of potential and breaking barriers for these amazing children.

We were thrilled to honor the Schwartz families at the 2024 Sweethearts Ball, and this video offers just a glimpse of the incredible impact they are making. From all of us at A Rosie Place for Children, THANK YOU Schwartz Wiekamp Foundation for being a Divine Level Sponsor and for helping us bring this dream to life! 💖

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/

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!
