Info
Baycrest is a research and teaching hospital for the elderly in the North York district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada that is affiliated with the University of Toronto. It was originally founded in 1918 as the Toronto Jewish Old Folks Home in a semi-detached Victorian house at 29 Cecil Street in Downtown Toronto and later neighbouring homes from the 1920s to 1930s. While Baycrest serves all of the elderly, it was founded by and for the Jewish community of Toronto and thus caters specifically to the needs of the Jewish elderly, including those of Holocaust survivors. Baycrest's facilities include a full-service hospital, the Jewish Home for the Aged nursing home, and the Baycrest Terrace Assisted Living facility.
