EmailVision
Baycrest will transform the way people age and advance care and quality of life to a new level, through the power of research and education, and with a focus on brain functioning and mental health.
The impact that Baycrest has on the quality of life of older adults worldwide is only as strong as its Vision. That is why Baycrest has a history of setting its sights high and reaching beyond what many thought was possible. And that is exactly what Baycrest is doing through its new Vision--a vision that will guide the organization for the next five years and far beyond that...a Vision which was developed with the assistance of everyone it impacts. It is bold, compelling, and challenging. It recognizes that Baycrest can bring care and quality of life for the aging population to a new level of excellence through the power of research and education. It also recognizes the major contribution Baycrest has made as an international leader in the care and knowledge of disorders that affect brain functioning and mental health in the elderly. These disorders include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, other types of dementia, and psychiatric disorders.
The Vision emphasizes leadership that responds to a broader definition of care - a definition that recognizes the complexity and social context of aging as well as the strengths and abilities of individuals and the role of their families. This includes the cognitive, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of aging and reflects the integrity and wholeness of the older person.
