Casey House

Do not know much about Casey house itself; but the building is beautiful and so is their care. There is a plaque out front that reads: CASEY HOUSE WILLIAM R. JOHNSTON HOUSE 1875 This house was designed by the architecture firm Langley, Langley, & Burke for William R. Johnston, a prominent Toronto clothing merchant. At the time, Jarvis Street was lined with large homes owned by the city's wealthiest residents. The house remained in the Johnston family until 1941 when it became the national headquarters of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) . In 2001, the HIV/AIDS hospice business partner, Lauchlan M. Livingston bought the property. Courtesy of Casey House Casey House was the first independent HIV/AIDS hospice in Canada - and one of the first in the world - when it opened in 1988 on nearby Huntley Street. It provided compassionate, specialized care at a time when many people with HIV /AIDS faced isolation and discrimination. Spearheaded by writer and social activist June Callwood. the establishment of Casey House on nearby Huntley Street was a landmark moment for people with HIV/AIDS. The facility was named after Callwood's son who died in a motorcycle accident in 1902. Hans Deryk/The Globe and Mail Casey House offers inpatient and outpatient care and care in the communitv. In 1991, Diana Princess of Wales, visited and helped dispel fears about HIV/AIDS. Casey House's services evolved and it became an HIV/AIDS hospital in 2016. In 2017, it moved to the renovated and expanded William R. Johnston House. The new addition at the rear was designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects with ERA Architects, greatly expanding the capacity of Casey House.
