Our Philosophy

“Ripley Crossing mission is to provide older adults in rural Southeastern Indiana quality housing, relief from social isolation and access to a continuum of health care services.” (from Ripley Crossing Initial Disclosure Statement)

We believe that people living at Ripley Crossing should have access to life at its fullest.

We often hear that people can once again enjoy a vital life that, prior to moving here, was no longer available to them because of disability.  We want all generations to be happy and comfortable at Ripley Crossing. 

We foster sociability through the design of our building, grounds and programs.  We encourage residents and visitors to access the outdoors.  We have covered porches and an extensive walkway that snakes through the grounds, permitting long wheelchair walks.  Visitors may bring pets so long as we have proof of vaccinations. People may access all areas of the building so that indoor walks may feature varied experiences.  Three of the living areas have kitchens that residents and visitors may use.  Folks reserve the community room for all types of gatherings, from wedding anniversaries to holiday celebrations.
