Baycrest is committed to enriching the lives of older adults.
Practising Judaism is an important aspect of many clients' lives. As
such, it is one of Baycrest's fundamental commitments to provide
an environment attuned to and fully respectful of clients' and
patients' religious needs. At the same time, the organization values
the cultur
al and
religious diversity of its other clients and its
employee
community. All employees must be able to observe the
holy days of their religion within reasonable parameters.
