Helen Henderson Care Centre is a retirement / nursing home in Amherstview,
a small town just west of Kingston.  The BABCOCK family line goes back to
Loyalist days in the area, and there is a defunct Babcock Mill in Odessa
that used to make baskets, a village adjacent to Amherstview and Kingston.
Verona and Sydenham are villages just north of Kingston.
