In 1935 the state established the Michigan Children's Institute in Ann Arbor and it took over the wards and records from the Coldwater facility, which became the Michigan Children's Village, accepting mildly impaired residents. In 1939 it was renamed the Coldwater State Home and Training School and began to accept residents of all ages and levels of developmental impairment. Its name changed to the Coldwater Regional Center for Developmental Disabilities in 1978. In 1985 the center began to convert to a psychiatric hospital, and in 1986 its name changed to the Coldwater Regional Mental Health Center. It closed in June 1992. |
