The Toronto Jewish Old Folks Home opened at 29 Cecil Street in Downtown Toronto in 1918.
Baycrest began as the Toronto Jewish Old Folks Home in downtown Toronto, founded by a group of women who were members of the Ezras Noshim Society. The spirit of caring and compassion which drove our founders still guides us today. We fully embrace the tradition of great Jewish organizations to improve the wellbeing of people in our communities, regardless of faith. Today, we welcome people of all faiths and backgrounds.
