Overview of Briarcliff Health & Rehabilitation Center

Facebook

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.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +63% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 22m per day ▼ 46% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 1h 15m per day ▲ 63% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 13m per day ▼ 51% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 29m per day
