BAYCREST FRIENDS
HELPING TO KEEP US SAFE
T
he COVID-19 pandemic required an immediate response to
protect the 1,100 residents and patients with an average age
of 91 who live on our campus and call Baycrest home, as well
as thousands of older adults in the community who rely on our
services.
We are extremely grateful for the generosity that has supported
Baycrest in taking extraordinary actions needed to defend against
the virus and protect both the physical safety and emotional well-
being of our seniors. The total value of these donations was more
than $950,000.
DONATIONS OF PPE KEPT US SAFE
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was in short supply in the
early days of the pandemic. The community and many companies
rallied and generously came to the rescue by donating boxes of
items from their own businesses and warehouses.
We are grateful for the masks, gowns, face shields and gloves that
helped keep our staff, patients and residents safe.
We are grateful to members of the community who recognized the
dedication of our staff and generously reached out with gifts of
appreciation.
Donations included meals, clothing items, snacks, beverages,
discounts, personal care products and other items.
