Email1968 - Baycrest builds a new Jewish Home for the Aged
The need
The waiting list for the Jewish Home for the Aged/Baycrest Hospital has grown. There is a need for a more modern, spacious facility.
The response
The Jewish Home for the Aged Abe and Elsie Posluns Building opens. At the time it is considered an example of "ultra-modern care," providing private and semi-private rooms with washrooms, a large main floor dining room, a synagogue and an auditorium. Baycrest Hospital expands to occupy four floors in the former Home.
