Concluding Thoughts
It has been Baycrest's tradition as a visionary
organization to see opportunity in a world where
others have seen insurmountable challenges. Given
the rapid aging of the world's population and the
urgent need for new, proactive solutions to support
and respond to the diverse and complex needs of
older adults, Baycrest stands ready to make seminal
contributions at this juncture of strategic opportunity.
Over the next five years, we will seize the imperative
to bring to an aging world a pioneering, dynamic
approach to the care and support of older adults that
emphasizes vitality of mind and body, while being
adaptable, scalable and truly transformative.
Our evidenced-based, innovative methods will
enable older adults, including the most mentally and
physically frail among us, to live the longest possible
life of engagement, activity, and fulfillment.
Our community has a legacy of dreaming what might
be possible and then creating it, of never settling for
the status quo, and of sharing our work with all who
can benefit, locally, nationally and internationally.
That is the way of our people; that is the Baycrest way.
