As Canada’s population ages, it is predicted that nearly one million adults will be living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia by 2030.

To address this growing health concern, Baycrest has launched Possibilities by Baycrest™, a transformational, first-of-its-kind memory care model. Drawing on 104 years of expertise, Possibilities by Baycrest™ shifts the residential experience away from a traditional focus on daily tasks to one that maximizes the abilities of each individual living with dementia. Staff and the care community will be enabled to offer individuals living with dementia a personalized, flexible, meaningful experience that recognizes the person first through the nurturing of a relationship, while applying solutions that leverage our knowledge of the brain.

The model has been implemented in the Baycrest Terraces new memory care community, with the first residents moved in as of April, 2022.
