About Baycrest
Baycrest is a global leader in aging and brain health. We bring care, research, education and senior living together to improve how older adults live and age.
Today, Baycrest supports older adults, families and caregivers across a full continuum – from healthy aging and dementia prevention, to specialized care, senior living and services for those living with complex conditions. Our work extends beyond our campus through research, education and partnerships in Canada and around the world, shaping how societies respond to aging populations now and in the future.
A unique centre of excellence in aging and brain health
Baycrest is unique in Canada – and internationally – as a fully integrated centre of excellence devoted entirely to aging and brain health.
We unite:
- Specialized clinical care across hospital services, long-term care, rehabilitation and senior living
- World-leading research advancing understanding of aging, brain health and dementia
- Education and training for health professionals, researchers and future leaders
- Partnerships that translate knowledge into practice locally and globally
This integration allows insights from research, care and lived experience to continually inform one another, strengthening how aging and brain health are understood, supported and advanced.
Research embedded across Baycrest
Baycrest scientists and clinicians lead internationally recognized research spanning cognitive neuroscience, dementia prevention, precision aging, brain health, mental health and healthy longevity. This research deepens understanding of how people age and informs more effective approaches to aging and brain health.
By embedding research within care and senior living environments, Baycrest ensures discovery is grounded in real-world experience – supporting informed practice today and progress for the future.
Leadership in dementia and brain health
Baycrest plays a leading role across the full spectrum – from dementia prevention and early assessment, to specialized care, caregiver support and advanced research. Interdisciplinary teams bring science and compassion together to improve quality of life for people living with dementia, support families and caregivers, and advance evidence-based approaches that influence care systems well beyond Baycrest.
This leadership is reflected across Baycrest’s hospital, long-term care, research and senior living environments, as well as through education and partnerships that extend Baycrest expertise worldwide.
