Our Story
In 1996, Ruth Constable, R.N., with the support and encouragement of her husband Jack and their long time colleague and friend, Camille Taylor, brought a dream to life within a home in London. They named it Highview. Ruth had spent the previous twenty-eight years serving people in retirement and long-term care homes.
Ruth understood that people with Alzheimer’s disease could thrive in a home-like setting. The original Highview became that setting for eight residents. It was a beautiful place to call home – a place full of respect, where all were treated with dignity while having their basic needs and safety concerns addressed. Most often, Highview would become their permanent home – the place where they would stay for as long as possible. In other instances, Highview would be their respite home – a place for them to live for a shorter time.
Prior to the first Highview, Ruth served as the Director of Nursing at Kensington Village in London, Ontario. While there she cared for a gentleman named Stan Harris. During the time that Stan was at Kensington Ruth developed a close relationship with Stan’s daughter, Cathy Chapin.
When Cathy and her husband Ross decided to build a residence in London for people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, they invited Ruth to serve on their planning team. In 2002 the decision was made to build a new and larger residence. Franklin House was opened, followed by Chapin House. Each house is comprised of two cottages, each with 12 or 13 private residents’ rooms.
