Briarcliff Health & Rehabilitation Center is a 131-bed nursing home on Western Avenue, situated on the west side of South Bend, Indiana. Run by administrator Christopher Gill and operated by Pulaski Memorial Hospital, this newly opened facility operates at a 74 percent occupancy rate and takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. The average resident stay is 189 days, a timeline that covers a combination of short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term clinical residents.
The building features an on-site doctor and provides an average of 3 hours and 33 minutes of direct daily nursing care per resident. This round-the-clock medical presence handles specialized services including in-house hemodialysis, hospice, palliative care, and an Alzheimer’s and dementia program. For daily amenities, the campus offers two courtyards, a beauty salon and spa, a non-denominational chapel, and standard laundry and housekeeping services. Because the Western Avenue location is car-dependent, family members and guests will need a vehicle to run local errands or visit the building.
Older adults can connect with the admissions coordinator to check room openings, ask about the in-house dialysis schedule, or arrange an on-site tour. The business office is also available to explain insurance eligibility rules and help guide you through the intake forms.
Briarcliff Health & Rehabilitation Center is legally operated by Pulaski Memorial Hospital, and administrated by Christopher Gill.
