In1990, a local group of established health care professionals bought Milan Health Care Center. They opened a new Unit at the Center dedicated to providing specialized care, training and education for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses. Over the years the owners used their experience to create Ripley Crossing, a complex consisting of 32 independent senior apartments, a nursing facility that includes staged dementia care, and, as of 2007, a state of the art rehabilitation wing.
