At Baycrest, with our special focus on aging and brain health, we treat a range of conditions that impact the brain’s ability to function at its best – including physical problems, anxiety, depression, cognitive issues, and Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

The Outpatient Mental Health Program for adults aged 65 and older offers: outpatient services at Baycrest; outreach services in clients’ homes; and, a Telepsychiatry video-conferencing service to assist older adults residing outside of the Greater Toronto Area.
