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.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.As our children continue to grow, so does the importance of lifting and supporting them safely—and with love. 💗
We’re incredibly thankful for the specialized equipment that helps us move each child with care and comfort. But at A Rosie Place for Children, it’s not just what we use—it’s how we use it.
Because being lifted can feel scary, we train our staff by having them experience it themselves. They learn exactly where a lift might pinch, pull, or feel uneasy—so when it’s time to lift a child, they do so in the most loving and supportive way.
That’s The Rosie Way. 💞

🎥 “A medically fragile child is one that requires medical intervention for just everyday living.”
Feeding tubes. Medications. Machines. Constant care.
For most families, it’s all on them—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
As featured in She's All Set—the Emmy award-winning documentary produced by The Grotto Network—this moment captures the heart of A Rosie Place for Children.
We saw the need. So we created something extraordinary.
A lifeline for these families. A place where medically fragile children are surrounded by LOVE, receive expert CARE, and experience so much FUN—while their parents can finally rest, recharge, and know their child is in trusted hands.
“You’re standing in it. You’re looking at what we dreamt.”
💗 Welcome to A Rosie Place for Children.
