What Holy Cross Village does

Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame is a nonprofit, faith-based Continuing Care Retirement Community (Life Plan Community) founded on June 17, 1997, and sponsored by the Brothers of Holy Cross. The community operates a single 40-acre campus in Notre Dame, Indiana — physically nested between the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, and Holy Cross College — and is the only Catholic CCRC in the region. Its offering spans the full continuum of senior care: independent living (Andre Place 90 apartments, Riverside Place 26 apartments, The Villas 38 homes), assisted living (Schubert Villa, 46 apartments), memory care (Quinn Memory Care Center), long-term care (Dujarie House, 52 suites), and short-term skilled nursing/rehabilitation (Br. Thomas Shaughnessy Skilled Nursing and Therapy Center), plus St. Joseph's Place congregate housing for the Brothers themselves. Total capacity is 252 residences across 5+ residential buildings, with an IL expansion (townhomes and apartments) breaking ground for Fall 2027 delivery.

The business model rests on a classic CCRC structure: residents pay a one-time refundable entrance fee (current IL from $190,000; expansion IL from $238,140 for apartments and $426,358 for townhomes) plus recurring monthly service fees (current IL from $3,360 for a single occupant; expansion units from $3,916–$5,404). Healthcare tier pricing (assisted living, memory care, LTC, skilled nursing) is not publicly disclosed and is quoted on inquiry. Ancillary revenue comes from the affiliated Holy Cross Village Foundation (501(c)(3) fundraising arm), and the community participates in the LivNow Relocation Services channel partnership to reduce move-in friction. Technology is intentionally light and outsourced: Caremerge provides resident/family engagement (web and mobile), and Matterport provides 3D virtual tours; there is no proprietary technology platform and no AI/ML capabilities. GTM is sales-led via the website, phone inquiries, scheduled in-person and virtual tours, testimonials, and earned media (Best of the Best 2025 awards across four categories; WeCareConnect Senior Care's Best certification). The 2026 Michiana Forty Under 40 recognition of incoming President & CEO Brandon Kastner (effective August 1, 2025) underlines generational continuity, as his father Steve Kastner previously led HCV from 2000 to 2010.
