At Sanctuary At Holy Cross, there is a strong emphasis on personalized care. Each resident receives a care plan carefully designed in collaboration with clinical and therapy teams. Whether the goal is a successful transition home after rehabilitation or to enjoy life as part of a long-term community, residents experience support at every stage. The rehabilitation gym stands out as a beautiful and inviting space for those doing the “hard but satisfying work” of regaining strength and independence, while the Heart Room provides a welcoming setting for social interaction and cognitive engagement, like tackling a puzzle with a friend.

The home-like atmosphere at Sanctuary At Holy Cross is extended to all areas of daily living. Residents can enjoy private and communal spaces, rest in comfortable rooms, and venture outside with loved ones to stroll among beautifully kept grounds. The community also encourages making the most of its proximity to the attractions in the South Bend area, providing opportunities for enriching day trips and outings.
Support is provided not only in healthcare and daily activities but also in navigating the transitions that can sometimes feel overwhelming. From admissions to social work and business office services, a compassionate team is available to assist both residents and their families with paperwork, moves, and planning for care. The focus is always on making these transitions as smooth and reassuring as possible.
