Overview of Briarcliff Health & Rehabilitation Center

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.

Overview of Brickyard Healthcare – Elkhart Care Center

Brickyard Healthcare – Elkhart Care Center is a 175-bed skilled nursing facility in Elkhart, Indiana, providing short- and long-term care, including rehabilitation, memory, respite, dialysis, and pulmonary care, and is operated by Elkhart Operating LLC. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 1-star overall CMS rating — the lowest tier — with a health inspection score 63.4% below the Indiana average. Across inspections since 2023, the facility has recorded approximately 17.7 deficiencies per year, more than four times the state average of 4.2.

Significant findings include two resident deaths: one linked to inadequate catheter care resulting in sepsis (March 2023) and one tied to improper diet supervision resulting in choking (April 2023). A January 2025 complaint was substantiated for failure to report an allegation of staff misconduct involving a resident in a timely manner. The most recent complaint investigation, in April 2025, found no deficiencies.

Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 8 minutes per resident per day, ranking 185th of 287 Indiana skilled nursing facilities — roughly 22% below the state average. The facility provides 24-hour nursing services alongside clinical programs including IV therapy, tracheostomy-level care, and cognitive training. Private suites are available. The facility’s occupancy rate is 74%, modestly above Indiana’s average of 68.1%.

With a Medicaid-predominant census and clinical capacity spanning dialysis, wound care, tracheostomy, and PICC line management, the facility is suited for residents with complex medical needs seeking long-term placement or post-acute care in the Elkhart area. However, families should carefully review the facility’s inspection history, staffing levels, and prior resident safety findings before making a placement decision.

Overview of Story Cottage

Story Cottage sits in Indianapolis’s Meridian Hills/Williams Creek neighborhood, about 10.2 miles from downtown, and the whole model here is built around scale, or really the lack of it. Small cottages, 8 to 10 residents each, inside a 2-story building. Walk Score comes in at 25, somewhat walkable, but this is a suburban stretch where most errands mean getting in a car.

This is memory care specifically for residents living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and related memory disorders. Staff go through dementia-specific training, which matters more here than it would in general assisted living; the kind of support someone with cognitive impairment needs is genuinely different. Personalized monitoring systems and built-in safety features are part of how the living spaces are designed, not an afterthought bolted on.

Cognitive stimulation and activities programming exist for residents too, tailored specifically to cognitive impairment rather than a generic activity calendar borrowed from elsewhere.

Eight to ten residents per cottage is a genuinely different environment than a single large memory care wing housing dozens of people. Smaller groupings tend to mean more consistency, in staff faces, in routines, in the sensory experience of the space itself, which matters a lot for people living with memory loss. Story Cottage reads as a deliberate bet on smaller-scale, home-like memory care over the more common large-community model, and that structural choice is really the defining thing about what’s being offered here.

Residents also have access to respite care, IV infusion services, bariatric care, pulmonary care, peritoneal dialysis, and wound healing services.

Daily nurse staffing averages 2 hours and 44 minutes per resident. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses work together to provide hands-on care throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Indiana

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Indiana?

Assisted living in Indiana supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover memory care?

Indiana Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Indiana) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
