Baycrest@Home (B@H) is a new service designed to prepare and support family
caregivers of older adults experiencing declining cognitive health through a
combination of technology and dementia-care expertise. B@H helps caregivers respond
to a crisis and minimizes the risk of future crises. It provides the knowledge, tools and
services necessary to help families make better decisions, increase their capacity to
provide care and improve their quality of life.
When older adults experience cognitive decline, family members are integral to their
ability to remain living in the community. B@H is designed specifically for the needs
of these family caregivers. All aspects of caregiver concerns are taken into account,
whether it be anxiety about their loved one's day-to-day safety, maintaining self-care,
providing social connections and recreational activity or managing medical care.
B@H leverages more than 100 years of Baycrest expertise, ingenuity and emerging
technological solutions to enhance the quality of life of older adults living at home.
This year, Baycrest@Home is working with a select group of clients to pilot and shape
the service model of the future. These initial clients receive care navigation support
and counselling and will be the first to trial new services as they are made available
through B@H.
Here is a snapshot of some of the services the B@H team will provide in 2020:
