Everything Baycrest does is predicated on the Jewish principle of respect for elders and for one’s parents. That is why Baycrest has set standards that guide behaviour and day-today decision-making while ensuring this important principle is upheld. A Task Force comprised of staff from a variety of disciplines throughout the organization took on the challenge of proposing new, shared values that will provide a unified guide for our decisions and actions. In developing these it was agreed that the new Values should be reflective of all aspects of the organization and readily embraced by all stakeholders; that the Values should be easily remembered; and that the Values must ‘stretch’ the organization. By embracing these Values, Baycrest has agreed to integrate them into the fabric of the organization.
At Baycrest we believe…
Compassion comes from caring relationships that are promoted and nurtured through a culture of sensitivity, understanding, trust, and integrity.
Advocacy is essential in promoting change and socially responsible choices that are sensitive to the needs of the elderly, and is best achieved through a strong collective voice of clients, families, staff, volunteers, and community partners.
Respect comes with the understanding that each person is unique, with intrinsic dignity and worth.
Excellence is achieved when we reach beyond what was ever thought possible through inquiry, discovery, and life long learning.
