The Unit Clerk, provides clerical support, maintains family contact information, arranges meetings between you and the Care Team, delivers your mail, and provides general information to family members and other visitors.

Baycrest Volunteers are here to support our staff and make your stay more enjoyable. They spend time visiting, helping with meals and recreational programs, and lending out books and other materials. Volunteers also work in many Baycrest facilities, including the Creative Arts Studio, the Gift Shop and the Women’s Auxiliary Café.

Food Servers bring your meal tray to your room and set it up to allow as much independence as possible and to encourage an enjoyable mealtime experience.

Housekeepers ensure that your Hospital room and common areas stay safe and clean.

Porters help staff by escorting patients to certain specific programs and appointments.

Students train at Baycrest because we are affiliated with a number of universities and colleges, including the University of Toronto. You may meet students who are assigned to work with our own professional staff as a part of their educational experience. Such students are fully supervised and will be introduced to you if they play any part in your care.
