Email1959 - First day care program for elderly established
The need
Elderly people on the waiting list for the Jewish Home for the Aged need services to help them live independently until admission.
The response
Baycrest Community Day Centre for Seniors offers older adults a supervised day program of social activities, counselling and education. It also provides meals, transportation and access to Baycrest Services.
In 1987, the Samuel Lunenfeld Special Day Care Centre opens, providing a unique respite program to families caring for older relatives with moderate to severe cognitive impairment.
