About Highview Lucan

Highview Lucan is a healthcare facility located on Main St in Lucan, Ontario. It serves as an intergenerational home providing dementia care, retirement living, and supported independent living for adults with developmental disabilities, autism, and other forms of neurodiversity. The facility is designed to feel like a small, home-like community rather than an institution, featuring open-concept kitchens, walking gardens, and shared meals at a table. The organization offers specialized care tailored to the individual rhythms of each resident. For those requiring dementia care, the home provides a safe, calm environment where residents are supported through every stage of the condition. Retirement living options include thoughtful support woven into daily life, while supported independent living helps neurodiverse adults build friendships, routines, and confidence. Highview emphasizes a "no imposed schedules" approach, allowing residents to eat and follow their own daily routines while being cared for by a consistent team of professionals. Highview was founded in 1996 by nurse Ruth Constable, R.N., who believed that people living with dementia needed a home rather than an institutional setting. The organization grew from a small home in London to include multiple sites across the region. The Lucan location opened in 2026 in a renovated three-storey home, evolving the company's model by bringing together seniors, people with dementia, and adults with developmental disabilities under one roof. Highview is a private retirement home, meaning it is not part of the government-funded long-term care system, and families connect with the facility directly.
