HEALTHCARE SERVICES
BAYCREST HOSPITAL
Specialized inpatient care for the older adult population is offered at Baycrest Hospital, Ben and
Hilda Katz Building. While the Hospital is non-sectarian, principles of Judaism guide Baycrest in daily
operations and the care of clients of all backgrounds. It is a Kosher facility.
REHABILITATION
Restoring and maintaining functional independence is important to healthy aging. Intensive,
goal-directed in-patient rehabilitative therapy after an acute event or illness, musculoskeletal
injury, surgery or hospitalization, is key to ensuring that patients can return to active and healthy
independent living wherever possible. Our Rehabilitation services focus on frail older adults who
have complex needs due to multiple health conditions, physical impairments, recent functional
decline and cognitive change.
Baycrest Hospital has two rehab streams:
• Sydney and Florence Cooper High Tolerance Rehabilitation Unit
• Charlotte and Lewis Steinberg Slow Stream Rehabilitation Unit
The units offer client-centred, goal-directed restorative care, therapies and interventions that are
guided by an evidence-based approach to enhance mobility, functional independence, and improve
the physiological, cognitive and psychosocial well-being of patients.
Applications to the program are usually completed by the care teams in acute care hospitals, and at
times by community health care providers.
