Built on Dreams
the Baycrest way
For many, the aging of the global population
presents overwhelming challenges. At Baycrest
Health Sciences, we see unprecedented
opportunities to dramatically redefine the
potential for personal engagement, activity
and fulfillment in later life. We aim to transform
and vastly improve the care and support
provided to current and future generations of
older adults in our community and beyond. As
we approach nearly a century of caring for older
adults, Baycrest has become a “gift to the world”
from our local Jewish community. We embrace
the moral mandate of Tikkun Olam,
,
“repairing a broken world,” to improve the
well-being of people in their local communities
as well as around the globe.
At Baycrest, we are dedicated to optimizing
well-being through an unrivaled and innovative
portfolio of high quality aging and brain health
services and care approaches that enrich the
cognitive, emotional, spiritual, social, and physical
health of older adults in community, residential
and healthcare settings. This has never been
a more vital imperative.
For the first time in history, it is expected that
the number of seniors worldwide will surpass
the number of children under the age of five.
By 2050, people aged 65 years or older will
account for 20 per cent of the world’s population.
This demographic shift has been accompanied
by an increase in the number of people living
longer with chronic illnesses, including
age-associated brain disorders.
Of especially great concern has been the
dramatically rising prevalence of dementia, in
which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common
cause. The number of people with dementia
worldwide is presently estimated at approximately
35.6 million and is projected to nearly double
2
BAYCREST & BAYCREST FOUNDATION www.baycrest.org
every 20 years to 65.7 million in 2030, and
115.4 million in 2050. According to the World
Health Organization (WHO), there is one new
case of dementia arising every four seconds.
How can we make a difference amidst such
daunting demographic realities?
If, for instance, through our research and
innovations in aging brain health, we could help
find a way to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s
disease by five years, we could cut its prevalence
in half. By taking our groundbreaking research
from bench to bedside, we will transform aging
for seniors on our Bathurst Street campus and
around the world. We will uniquely contribute to
creating a “new old age.” We know brain failure
is not inevitable with aging, and we know our
work is already helping preserve and extend the
cognitive and emotional well-being of older adults.
Baycrest will seize the opportunity 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, and that
is adaptable, scalable and truly transformative.
We have 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.
This is the Baycrest way.

leading the way
Imagine, if you will, a society where we don’t
fear aging with anticipatory dread as though it
were to be avoided at all costs but embraced
with joy and hope – a celebratory third act.
Imagine knowing now what you could do
to prevent dementia and other brain health
disorders later in life.
Imagine knowing that you always had the benefit
of a seamless system of care that extended well
beyond the walls of a healthcare institution into
your home and community as you age.
Imagine a world where seniors were at the
vanguard of new technology and innovation.
Now imagine that your gift helped to
create that world.
These are not far off dreams of the future, but
a reality we work towards every day at Baycrest
Health Sciences. And you have helped to make
this happen. Built on your generosity, Baycrest
is a place where the best research, education
and care have come to lead the world in
transforming the aging experience.
What began in 1918 as Toronto’s first Jewish
Home for the Aged has grown with your support
into the only health sciences centre in the world
that brings translational research, patient care,
training and education together with a local
and global population of aging adults looking
for support and prevention solutions.
This past year we have seen your heartfelt
commitment to the unique work we do through
record-breaking financial support. Your continued
investment in our programs has allowed for new
tools, strategies and technologies to bring
wellness promotion, illness prevention and early
diagnosis to those living and receiving services
here and in the community. Your investment in
expertise allows us to attract the best and
brightest minds in brain health research to
Baycrest. Your understanding that holistic
care includes specially tailored spiritual and
cultural programming has enhanced wellness
options. And your foresight into the need for
emerging technologies enables us to deliver
state-of-the-art care.
By donating funds, volunteering, participating
in our events, engaging with us online and on
our campus you are supporting a vital 100-year
history that has led to extraordinary healthcare
innovation, an accomplishment of which we
can all be proud.
Thank you for helping us revolutionize the way
we age – and transform the aging experience.
We know we do so with the commitment and
support of those who have built this dream
and turned it into a reality. Your investment
has been our success.

RIGHT CARE, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME
As Ontario’s population ages the number of seniors living with
complex health issues continues to rise. Most vulnerable are those
who struggle with the difficult behaviours – agitation, aggression
and wandering, for example – that may result from dementia,
mental illness or other neurological conditions.
To ensure respectful and compassionate treatment is provided at
the right time and in the right setting, Baycrest Health Sciences is
leading the province’s Behavioural Support for Seniors Program
for the Toronto Central LHIN (Local Health Integration Network).
The program takes a holistic approach to care rather than relying
on medications to manage behaviour.
Forty new positions have been created at Baycrest to help deliver
the program, which supports seniors, families and caregivers in
our city, and includes:
• A 23-bed transitional unit providing expert care for patients
whose behaviours have become unmanageable where they
live – whether in the community or in long-term care homes.
On average, patients stay on the unit for five months.
• A mobile team of registered nurses and personal support
workers assisting more than 37 long-term care homes in
managing residents’ behaviours.
• A community outreach team working with partners to deliver
care, caregiver support and skills training.

PARTNERING
TO IMPROVE QUALITY
Thirteen leading long-term care organizations
in North America, including Baycrest, are
combining their collective wisdom and
experience for a common purpose: to
improve the quality of the care they provide.
The Seniors Quality Leap Initiative (SQLI)
is laying the groundwork for a sustainable
quality plan. The group is focussing on key
areas such as preventing falls, managing
challenging behaviours, and the appropriate
use of antipsychotic medications. Several
non-government organizations with
expertise in quality and safety in the
healthcare industry are providing advice.
Meeting in Boston last October, the SQLI
group unveiled a “report card” or benchmark
for measuring areas of relative strength or
weakness in each participating organization,
and for recording progress. This year,
participants are working on several
quality improvement projects.
SHARING WITH THE WORLD
Health professionals from various disciplines
at Baycrest have shared their expertise this
year with their counterparts in Canada and
10 countries around the world, using a
combination of face-to-face learning and
nearly 800 tele-health sessions.
In a tele-forum, one team explored the benefits
of “huddles” with their peers across North
America. The term, borrowed from football,
refers to frequent mini briefings designed to
keep clinicians informed, review completed work,
plan next steps and move ahead efficiently.
Occupational therapy leader and teacher, Sylvia
Davidson, helped faculty at Aarhus University in
Denmark develop a course for treating dementia.
“We’re exploring innovative ways of collaborating
so that occupational therapists here at Baycrest
can share our expertise in caring for older
adults and learn about some of the different
approaches they have in Denmark,” she said.
WHAT’S IT LIKE TO MOVE TO A NURSING HOME?
A mentor program pairing those about to move a loved one into
the Apotex Centre, Jewish Home for the Aged with those who’ve
been through the experience aims to make the process easier
for residents and families.
A joint effort of the nursing home and Volunteer Services
at Baycrest, the mentor program is part of a larger quality
improvement push. “We looked at different aspects of the
admission process to identify areas for improvement. We felt
it was important to give family members and residents a voice
in this process so we invited the Residents' Advisory Council,
the Family Advisory Council and the Patients’ Association of
Canada to participate along with a team of Apotex staff,” said
director of Care, Suman Iqbal.
Michael Singer has volunteered to be one of the first family mentors.
His mother, Irma Singer, a long-time volunteer at Baycrest moved
to the nursing home in 2005 and lived there until she died in 2010.
Mrs. Singer continued to volunteer, serving as a member of the
residents’ council. Now her son says he wants to become a family
mentor because of his mother’s positive experience. “She loved it
here. I’ve got to continue in her footsteps.”
TALKING ABOUT PALLIATIVE CARE
The Baycrest Palliative Care team held its first conference in
November, prompted by requests from nursing staff to create a
venue for team members to share their inter-professional insight
and expertise. A sold-out crowd of more than 130 people attended
the conference, entitled Ending Well at End of Life. Dr. Daphna
Grossman, deputy head of palliative care at Baycrest, said that
palliative care often focusses on individuals with terminal cancer.
“Here we have expertise in symptom control and management
for many different terminal illnesses and specialized knowledge
in the unique needs of our geriatric population.”

WELCOMING A NEW SPIRITUAL LEADER
STAYING ACTIVE KEY TO HEALTH
As the new director of Spiritual Care at Baycrest,
Rabbi Dr. Geoffrey Haber is building on the
important contributions of Rabbi Dr. Nachum
Berlat, who fulfilled the role for 25 years before
retiring and is now senior chaplain emeritus
and scholar-in-residence.
For the past decade, the Marla & Aubrey Dan
Endowment Fund has helped to enhance the
quality of life for those who live in the Reuben
Cipin Healthy Living Community at Baycrest by
making social and wellness programs possible.
Now a new program is focusing on improving
the physical fitness of residents.
Rabbi Dr. Haber has more than 20 years of pulpit
experience in prominent synagogues in Canada
and the United States, coupled with pastoral
care, counselling and chaplaincy experience
gained in hospitals, hospice, rehab and military
settings. “I am delighted to be joining a premiere
institution and leader in geriatric care,” he said.
“Baycrest’s holistic and integrated approach to
care addresses the complete human being in
support of healthy aging. It is truly an example
of kavod habriot, honoring God’s creations, and
emphasizes Judaism’s respect for the elderly
within our community.”
A satellite service of the Health Promotion
Department at Baycrest’s Wagman Centre,
the program is designed to make exercise more
accessible to residents. “Physical activity has
countless benefits for older adults … Exercise
contributes to brain health, the prevention
and management of chronic diseases such as
diabetes and hypertension, and a decreased risk
of falls,” said wellness coordinator Diana Colucci.
“For older adults, it’s key to identify exercises that
are appropriate and safe to help them
reach their personal goals.”
Rabbi Dr. Haber’s’ role is multi-denominational
and helps promote interfaith dialogue at Baycrest.

TAKING HOME THE GOLD
Baycrest is one of 10 healthcare organizations to receive a gold
award for being a preferred place to work. The Quality Health
Care Workplace Awards were launched in 2010 by the Ontario
Hospital Association and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term
Care. The aim is to recognize efforts to improve the quality of
work environments for staff and physicians, a determinant of
high-performance in healthcare. Organizations are presented with
bronze, silver, gold and platinum awards based on an assessment
that encourages self-evaluation, learning and improvement.
KEEPING SCORE
Regularly monitoring how we are performing in key areas is essential for
maintaining the highest standards of care at Baycrest. To that end, the
Quality, Safety and Best Practice and eHealth departments have introduced
the New Generation Quality Indicator MDS Scorecard. The scorecard
provides summary data for the nursing home, complex continuing care,
palliative care, behavioural neurology and rehabilitation.
FORMER RESIDENT IS INSPIRATION FOR NEW THEATRE
Residents of Baycrest no
longer have to leave home
to see a film. On March 14,
Ellis Jacob, president and
CEO of Cineplex Entertainment,
and 180 of his family, friends
and colleagues gathered at
Baycrest to celebrate the grand
opening of the Jacob Family
Theatre in the Abe Posluns
Auditorium at Baycrest.
While his mother Tryphosa was
a resident at Baycrest, Jacob
arranged to have her taken to
the movies once – sometimes
twice – a week. After she died
in 2010, the family decided to
honour her memory by building
a cinema for residents, clients,
families and caregivers to enjoy
on the Baycrest campus.
Housed in the Abe Posluns
Auditorium, the Jacob Family
Theatre also serves as a global
hub for Baycrest’s tele-health
and tele-education programs,
helping to change the
experience of aging by
enabling care at a distance
and providing a forum for
over 800 annual e-learning
events among healthcare
professionals worldwide.

SPOTLIGHTING BEST PRACTICE
In recognition of its expertise in elder care, research and
education, Baycrest Health Sciences was selected in 2012
as a candidate for becoming a Best Practice Spotlight
Organization (BPSO). Partnering with the Registered Nurses
Association of Ontario (RNAO), Baycrest nurses and their
colleagues in other disciplines are working together to
earn the right to join 51 international BPSOs.
During this three-year initiative, inter-professional working
groups will be implementing the RNAO’s best practice
guidelines in five clinical areas of focus, including prevention
of falls and injuries from falls, and screening for delirium,
dementia and depression. The aim is to build capacity for
translating evidence-based practice at the point of care.
In November, some 50 nurses and allied health professionals
from Baycrest attended the RNAO’s best practice champions’
workshop, where a toolkit for applying best practice guidelines
was introduced. For its part, the advanced practice nursing
team has organized skills training days where nurses work
in small groups on case-based scenarios. “By aligning our
clinical skills day with the BPSO initiative, we’re giving nurses
at Baycrest the chance to learn more about the guidelines
we’ll be implementing so that they’re engaged and involved
in the process,” said advanced practice nurse Aysha Bandali.

Baycrest’s nurses are leading the way for their
peers. Newly qualified with the Canadian Nursing
Association’s geriatric specialty certification, the
nurses were honoured at a celebration last July.
The 17 were sponsored by Baycrest to pursue
the certification. Weekly exam preparation
workshops, coordinated by an advanced practice
leader, provided a forum for structured learning
and support. “We want to take down as many
barriers as possible for our nurses to succeed,”
said Anne Marie Shin, director of Nursing.
“Sponsorship is just one way to encourage
professional development and continue the
trend of knowledge sharing.”
VETERAN NURSES
ADVANCING PRACTICE
Eight registered nurses and registered practical
nurses at Baycrest are putting the knowledge
they’ve gained over many years to good use on
projects that will advance the practice of nursing.
The eight are the first at Baycrest to participate
in the Late Career Nursing Initiative, funded by
the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
The program gives experienced nurses the
opportunity to step away from bedside care one
day a week for 12 weeks to work on projects like
mentoring, evaluation and quality improvement.
“As seasoned nurses we have a lot of `gold
nuggets’ we can share – knowledge that’s not
possible to put into books,” said Lucie Holynaty,
a 39-year nursing veteran and program
participant. “Nothing beats experience.”
The late career program is aligned with the
Best Practice Spotlight Organization initiative,
a three-year quality improvement project that
will see six best practice guidelines implemented
in the hospital and nursing home.

CAFÉ SETTING PROMOTES LEARNING
In the fall 2012 issue of “The Standard,” published
by the College of Nurses of Ontario, Baycrest’s
nursing leadership was recognized for promoting
a quality workplace for staff and a quality care
setting for clients.
“Baycrest is a learning organization grounded
in quality improvement,” said Mary Lou Ip,
director of Care, the Complex Specialized
Geriatrics Program, and Inpatient Units.
“The QA Café aligns with our values.”
The article showcased the QA (Quality Assurance)
Café, a weekly forum where our nurses discuss
learning goals and trade “recipes” for success.
Fun and informal, the setting is complete
with checkered tablecloths and aprons for
nursing leaders who are “serving cups of
knowledge,” explained Sue Calabrese, an
advanced practice leader.
The forum helps nurses complete the College’s
quality assurance program. In a survey, 80 per
cent reported that they now feel more prepared
to fulfill the requirements, and 90 per cent said
they better understand the importance of
reflection in developing their learning goals.

GROUND-BREAKING RESEARCH
Scientists at Baycrest's world-renowned Rotman Research
Institute (RRI) published more than 125 research studies in
peer-reviewed journals last year.
Using distraction to boost memory. According to research by
Dr. Lynn Hasher and graduate student Renee Biss, older brains
automatically process both irrelevant and relevant information
in the environment. Using strategies that rely on this extra
information, older adults can perform as well as younger adults
on memory tests. This finding could help mature students, and
lead to placing distractions in homes or nursing homes that
serve as cues for things like when to take a medication, even
if the cues are not consciously noticed.
Tonal languages may prime the brain for music. RRI scientists
have found that speaking a tonal language – found mainly in
Asia, Africa and South America – may improve how the brain
hears music. The finding that music and language – which share
overlapping brain structures – have two-way benefits, offers
exciting possibilities for the rehabilitation of speech and
language deficits. The study was widely covered in the
media, including in The New York Times.
Who is best at impulse control? Using brain image analysis
tools developed at RRI, a team of neuroscientists has been
able to predict with 71 percent accuracy people who are likely
to be better or poorer at impulse control based on patterns of
brain activity. A better understanding of these brain processes
could lead to interventions and training regimens that help
improve self-control.

HARNESSING THE
BRAIN’S POWER TO HEAL ITSELF
Last March, 400 scientists, clinicians and
academics from all over the world met in Toronto
for a three-day conference hosted by the Rotman
Research Institute (RRI). The meeting focused on
important findings in two related fields – brain
plasticity and neurorehabilitation – which are
yielding new ways to help people affected by
stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia,
Parkinson’s disease and depression.
Brain plasticity is the ability of the brain and
nervous system to change or reorganize over
time. Research is now showing that, under the
right circumstances, plasticity can allow an
injured brain and nervous system to self-heal.
Neurorehabilitation refers to therapies that
improve quality of life after brain damage occurs.
Specific types of training and brain stimulation
combined with behavioural therapy are used.
The goal is to restore lost or damaged functions
such as speech or comprehension, or to help
people compensate by enhancing other skills.
“We believe this is the next exciting frontier in
medicine,” said conference co-chair Dr. Deirdre
Dawson, a senior scientist at RRI. “Our progress
125+
articles
published by
Rotman Research
Institute scientists
last year.
18
in treating many neurological and psychiatric
disorders is rooted in understanding the basic
mechanisms of neuroplasticity.”
Although the idea that the brain can change is
not new, evidence showing these changes in
the adult brain is more recent. The belief was
that therapy for people with brain damage was
restricted to helping them compensate for their
difficulties and learning to accept their limitations.
But there is now clear evidence that the adult
brain can alter existing neural pathways and
even create new ones. This holds enormous
implications for the diagnosis, treatment and
management of many health problems.
“This year’s conference shows our commitment
to translational research by bringing eminent
scientists from all over the world to discuss
not only the foundational science of cognition
and memory, but its enormous potential
for rehabilitation,” said Dr. Randy McIntosh,
vice-president of Research and director of the RRI.
BEST CARE BASED ON BEST EVIDENCE
The Kunin-Lunenfeld Applied & Evaluative
Research Unit (KLAERU) will play an instrumental
role in the realization of Baycrest's new strategic
plan, specifically the development and
implementation of a clinical and translational
research platform integrated with education and
care. KLAERU is a centralized research resource
made up of consultants knowledgeable in the
design and conduct of research. Members
provide assistance and expertise to support
clinical, evaluative and translational research
at Baycrest. With the help of KLAERU, our
clinical care is guided by the best research
evidence. Careful evaluation of clinical outcomes
and experiences – at both individual and program
levels – enable and accelerate the development
of new programs and treatments for memory
disorders and for aging well.
FESTIVAL SHOWCASES NEUROSCIENCE
In October, the RRI hosted
a weeklong research festival
showcasing its world-leading
science that seeks to learn
more about the human brain,
how it changes, adapts and
recovers over time – discoveries
that are reshaping the
experience of aging.
Eye tracker tool used
to investigate how
memory works.
A highlight of the event was
a panel discussion, hosted by
AM 740 Radio’s Dale Goldhawk
who engaged three of our
experts in a lively discussion
about the importance of habits
such as walking in nature
and eating healthy foods for
keeping our cognitive powers
and overall mental health in
good shape as we age.
Festival visitors met with our
scientists, some of whom
had recently published
evidence-based books on
ways to maintain a healthy
brain into old age. Students
from Bakersfield Public
School were treated to
lab demonstrations and
explanations about how
neuroscientists study the
brain. They were especially
fascinated by a demonstration
of eye tracking equipment
used to determine how
memories are created,
stored and retrieved and
how these processes change
with age or brain damage.
“The festival was a terrific
opportunity to engage our
many stakeholders, from
philanthropists to industry
partners, government officials,
our staff, teachers and students,
and those from the community
who volunteer their time to
participate in research studies
at our labs,” said Dr. Randy
McIntosh, vice-president of
Research and director of the RRI.
FUTURE-THINKING DONORS SUPPORT BAYCREST’S VIRTUAL BRAIN
Baycrest scientists, along with
collaborators from 10 sites and
three continents, are leading
the development of the world’s
first Virtual Brain: an integrated
computer model of a fully
functioning human brain.
Gianna and Dr. Max Glassman
generously donated $1 million to
Baycrest’s Virtual Brain project.
Walter Zwig, Tony Zwig and
Thea Caplan appreciate the
Virtual Brain project. Their wife
and mother, Helen, lived with
Parkinson's disease and after
her passing in 2012, the Zwig
family generously donated
$100,000 toward the project,
which will help test experimental
brain therapies on a computer
to treat people like Helen
and others suffering from
brain-related diseases.
Dr. Max Glassman and his
wife Gianna were inspired by
Baycrest’s lead role in the
development of the Virtual
Brain, and were moved to
become founding donors
by giving $1 million to the
project after attending
Baycrest’s 2012 Research
Festival. The Glassmans have
a long history with Baycrest
and are proud to support
innovations that will change the
face of healthcare in Canada
and around the world.
“I believe there is a very real
possibility that one day the
Nobel Prize will be awarded
to Baycrest for their brilliant
research on memory,
Alzheimer’s and cognition,”
said Dr. Glassman. “The need
for Baycrest’s services and
research is mushrooming.
I don’t see our work as done.
It is really only beginning and
I am confident Baycrest will
become the icon for brain
pathology, prevention and

and how it holds up is greatly influenced by
lifestyle habits from childhood to old age.”
Prevention through public awareness, support
for caregivers, and investment in research are
needed to slow a rising tide of brain failure that
will place an enormous burden on the system,
families and the workplace, he said. For its part,
Baycrest is developing computer-based cognitive
training tools to strengthen young brains, fortify
older brains, and repair damage from stroke and
early-stage Alzheimer’s.
"Public and private sector research and
development investment in translating research
into products that support healthy brain aging is
critical for enabling Canada to compete in – and
potentially lead – the global market for agingrelated technologies, products and services,"
said Dr. Reichman.

WHY VIVID MEMORIES
FEEL VERY REAL
A vivid memory of an
experience triggers the same
brain activation pattern
observed during the original
experience, scientists at the
Rotman Research Insitite and
the University of Texas at
Dallas have shown.
“When we mentally replay an
episode, it can feel like we are
transported back in time and
re-living that moment,” said
RRI scientist and study author,
Dr. Bradley Buchsbaum.
The findings, he noted, could
help doctors quantify more
accurately a patient’s self-report
of their memory as “being
good or vivid.”

created by students from
OCAD University depicting
the complex and cutting-edge
brain science conducted at the
Rotman Research Institute.
The students used a variety
of techniques, incorporating
photography, computergenerated graphics, textiles,
block printing, silk screening
and watercolour painting.
As one of the world’s leading
neuroscience research centres,
the Rotman Research Institute
offers students opportunities
to work with and learn from
some of the top scientists in
their fields. One example is the
Collaborative Research and
Training Experience (CREATE)
program that arranges for
summer students to train in
auditory neuroscience at
various centres across the
country. Another is the
European Union program,
Erasmus Mundus, which places
students from 30 countries
in labs across Europe, Canada
and the United States.
At Baycrest, RRI scientist
Dr. Claude Alain welcomes
five to 10 summer students,
graduate students and postdoctoral fellows into his lab
each year from both programs.
Students participate in a range
of activities, from observing our
scientists at work to analyzing
data to working independently
on their own projects.

ENHANCING FRONTLINE SKILLS
As more seniors with complex illnesses move into long-term
care facilities there is a growing urgency to ensure frontline
professionals are well prepared to care for them.
In February, the inaugural conference of the province’s
three Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation (LRI) in
Long-Term Care was held in Toronto. More than 185 executives,
managers, educators and health professionals gathered from
across Ontario and the United States to discuss strategies
for ensuring those delivering care receive the latest,
evidence-based training.
The event was hosted by Baycrest Health Sciences, Bruyère
Continuing Care and Schlegel Villages – organizations charged
with developing a new approach to teaching in long-term
care homes. “An important part of our mandate is not only to
increase our capacity for research and innovation within the
system, but also to enhance skills and core competencies for
frontline workers across the province,” said Dr. Paul Katz,
vice-president, Medical Services and chief of staff at Baycrest,
and executive co-lead of the Baycrest Centre for LRI.
On the theme of education, experts gave presentations,
delivered workshops, and participated in a panel discussion.
“Education is a crucial part of enhancing the quality of care we
provide, particularly when it comes to translating knowledge
into best practices,” said Dr. David Conn, vice-president of
Education at Baycrest and executive co-lead of the Baycrest
Centre for LRI.

Hilda Rodda deeply appreciated the exemplary care that her
grandmother, Habiba, received at Baycrest after suffering a stroke.
Having established the Allan & Elizabeth Rodda endowment fund
in 1991 to support Baycrest’s most pressing needs, Hilda later
decided to include Baycrest in her will.
Hilda Rodda created The Allan and

KEEPING MEMORY ALIVE
Anne McAndrew (pictured below) works hard to
preserve her memory. The retired nurse learned
techniques to help her do that in a unique
program at Baycrest.
“Learning the Ropes for Mild Cognitive
Impairment” provides evidence-based strategies
for improving memory function in everyday life.
Participants learn about the negative effects of
stress on memory, and the benefits of relaxation,
nutrition and physical exercise. The program also
educates family members, which Bob McAndrew,
Anne’s husband, has found very helpful in
supporting his wife.
Anne learned that the act of writing something
down would help her remember. She has
organized her house so that she knows where
things are, and repeats information she wants
to recall – for instance, saying “ice-cream”
over and over while heading to the kitchen for
a treat. She uses other prescribed methods
to help ward off further deterioration – staying
socially engaged, preparing and eating nutritious
meals, and remaining active. Her advice to
others who might be worried about memory
deficits is to “not eat a lot of junk … and keep
interested in everything.”
WHAT’S NORMAL, WHAT’S NOT
Memory loss is a frightening
prospect. One in ten adults
over 65 has some form of
mild cognitive impairment or
MCI – thinking problems that
go beyond the normal, but
fall short of the serious
impairments experienced
by people with Alzheimer’s
disease and other dementias.
“There isn’t much awareness
of what normal cognitive aging
looks like. This can make it
difficult for people to put
their memory concerns in
perspective, said Dr. Nicole
Anderson, a clinical neuropsychologist and senior scientist
at RRI.
A recent well-received book by

experience as we age. Written
for consumers, “Living with MCI”
explores a condition considered
to be a border zone between
normal age-related changes and
the mental decline that happens
with dementia. Published by
Oxford University Press and
available at major booksellers,
the book uses real life examples
to help readers determine
whether or not their cognitive
changes are within the normal
range and when they should
see their doctor.
“I’ve been involved with Baycrest
for 35 years and during that time
I’ve seen incredible growth and
development,” he said.
Dr. Gordon and his wife Gilda Berger
regularly contribute to an endowment
fund in his parents’ name and he has
named Baycrest the beneficiary of a
life insurance policy. Funds from his
legacy gift will support education for
medical trainees studying geriatric

HELPING KIDS
UNDERSTAND DEMENTIA
Touched by his sister’s painful
journey through Alzheimer’s,
Morris Goldenberg made a
bequest in his will to establish
an endowment fund in support
of research into mild cognitive
impairment, considered a
precursor to dementia.
A Baycrest clinician-scientist has
produced an online activity
book to help young children
cope with the devastating
condition of early-onset
dementia in a parent.
Dr. Kelly Murphy treats patients
living with MCI, but the Morris
Goldenberg Endowment Fund
allows her to also conduct
research on the aging brain.
“Because of the clinical aspect
of my position, I’m able to
translate my research into
clinical practice at Baycrest,”
she explains. “It’s wonderful
to be able to test out theories
from basic research. When we
think we’re on to something,
we can make sure we’re on
the right path.”
Sydney Goldenberg, Morris’s
eldest son, said he receives
“reports and updates” on the
research. “I’m in my 70s now
– we’re all facing the cognitive
risks of aging and it’s nice to
know that MCI is a frontier that
has been identified and that
profoundly important work
is being done at Baycrest.”
WELLNESS LIBRARY

The Anne E. and Louis
Pritzker Wellness Library at
Baycrest is partnering with
the Toronto Public Library

Mary McDiarmid, manager
of Library Services. “This
partnership … will help
Baycrest’s in-house health
experts reach an audience

BOOK FEATURES
INSPIRING PATIENT
STORIES
As a behavioural neurologist in
the Sam and Ida Ross Memory
Clinic at Baycrest, Dr. Tiffany
Chow has counseled hundreds
of patients and families living
with dementia. In an acclaimed
new book published by Penguin
Canada, she tells moving stories
from her practice in the clinic
and throughout her career.
“I wrote the book for caregivers
who are starting this difficult
phase of life with dementia in
a loved one and want to learn
strategies for coping from
those who’ve been down this
road before,” said Dr. Chow, a
senior scientist with the Rotman
Research Institute. “I also wrote
the book for aging boomers
who are worried about getting
dementia and want to learn
the best ways to reduce risk
based on the latest available
scientific evidence.”
Using cartoon characters,
the book has children follow
clues to understanding
frontotemporal degeneration
(FTD), a form of dementia that
can strike adults as early as their
50s while they are still working
and raising young children.
Dr. Chow, an expert in
diagnosing and treating
early-onset dementias, created
the book with Gail Elliot, a
gerontologist and dementia
specialist at Atomic Orange
Productions, a service provider
of interactive toys and games.
A person with FTD will
begin to behave in an odd
and disruptive way as the
condition worsens – which
can be frightening for young
children. “I think children,
regardless of age, are
distressed by illness in a
parent, but with FTD there
are completely foreign
behaviours or personality
changes,” said Dr. Chow.

AT HOME MEMORY TESTING
With the incidence of Alzheimer’s set to triple over the
next 40 years, baby boomers want to know if they are at
risk, and Baycrest scientists have found an innovative way
to help them find out.
A consumer-focused computer application – the first of its kind
to be scientifically-validated – allows users to test their own
cognitive abilities. Currently being pilot-tested, the application
will be unveiled to the public later this year by Baycrest
spin-out company, Cogniciti.
Ranked among the “top radical ideas to kick-start the economy”
by Canadian Business magazine, the online tool helps answer
that pressing question: “Are my memory and cognitive changes
a normal part of aging, or should I see my doctor?”

EASING CARE TRANSITIONS
Transitioning patients from one care setting to
another can be challenging for healthcare teams
and stressful for clients and families, particularly
if there’s a behavioural concern. By themselves,
discharge notes and medical records cannot
provide a complete picture of a client’s needs.
Taking a design approach, the Innovation
Technology and Design Lab at Baycrest
developed a technological solution that includes
video capture, teleconferencing and a “cloud”
portal to store the videos. In a pilot study, the
group tested the video component with six clients
who were transferred from Baycrest’s Behavioural
Neurology Unit to long-term care homes. The
videos showed how clients interacted with
others, engaged in activities and responded
to methods used to manage their behaviors.
Care providers at the nursing homes noted that
the videos “communicated patients’ abilities
much more clearly than written summaries,”
said Bianca Stern, director of Culture, Arts and
Innovation. “They helped staff see the person
behind the challenging behaviours.”

PATIENTS RECORD THEIR
OWN SYMPTOMS
Using computer tablets, patients in the palliative
care unit at Baycrest Hospital can now report on
their own health status each day – their degree
of pain, for example, or their appetite, mood or
energy level. The information is automatically
uploaded into the hospital’s electronic health
record system where it is graphed and displayed
over time, helping doctors and nurses monitor
changes in the patient’s well-being.
Created by programmers in Baycrest’s eHealth
department, the application is based on a
questionnaire commonly used by clinicians to
assess palliative patients’ health status. Allowing
patients to enter their own data into the record
system minimizes the risk of errors and helps
to reduce staff workload. In the future, patients
may help to manage their own care electronically
by entering and monitoring information such
as their blood pressure readings using wireless
devices connected to their own charts.
BAYCREST LEADS ASIA TRADE MISSION
Baycrest headed up a trade mission to Asia last
November at the request of the Ontario Ministry
of Economic Development and Innovation. The
mission team – which included the University of
Toronto, Health Technology Exchange, Stantec
and SHI Consulting/Capital – visited businesses
in Singapore and Japan where several potential
opportunities were identified.
Baycrest leaders took the time to revisit China
to discuss additional business opportunities in
geriatrics training and care delivery. Baycrest’s
first Chinese business contract was with Peking
Union Medical College (PUMC) which brought
10 medical students and two faculty members
here for two weeks of training in October.
“Sharing Baycrest’s expertise and knowledge
with other countries around the world represents
a potential and much-needed source of revenue
for our own campus so that we can do more for
the community we care for,” said president and
CEO Dr. Bill Reichman.

When Albert Soren was born 95 years ago the
telephone was still a relatively new invention.
Today, Soren has a desktop computer with an
Internet connection set up in his room in the

Due to a sight impairment, he is not able to
surf the Internet himself, but with the help of
a volunteer, he corresponds by email and
looks up information online.
A recreation room in the Apotex has a
computer equipped with PointerWare, a user
interface designed for seniors. Bette Risen, 94,
began using the computer two years ago. Her
favourite online activity is playing the game
Deal or no Deal. And she keeps in touch with
family through email. “It was totally new to
me,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful.”
“Engaging with this technology is a great way
to keep the mind active and it helps people
stay connected (some use Skype) with their
families,” said recreation therapist Mara
Swartz. “It’s also empowering for residents.

THE HEALING POWER OF ART
In July, the Innovation, Technology and Design (ITD) lab at
Baycrest Health Sciences hosted a think tank on the role of
arts in healthcare. The lab is developing new approaches to
care delivery that could potentially transform nursing homes
in the future.
Nothing short of a “broad, ideological shift” is needed to
build on what we are currently doing to fully integrate the arts
into our healthcare model, said social worker and researcher
Melissa Tafler. “Creative expression is essential to the concept
of successful aging.” Baycrest is well poised to take arts in
healthcare to the next level. It has a strong foundation of
arts-based programming for clients across the campus, a thriving
partnership with faculty and students at OCAD University and
the Royal Conservatory of Music, in addition to three creative
arts studios, arts-based scientific research, and a large
collection of donated art displayed throughout its buildings.
“For people with cognitive impairment, there may be ways to
engage them more fully through the arts,” said Bianca Stern,
director of Culture, Arts and Innovation. “Let’s challenge our
assumptions about the way we do things with clients, and
explore new approaches.”

CELEBRATING OUR MUSICAL CULTURE
SPARKING MEMORIES
Ranging in age from 85 to 100, the Baycrest
Terraces Musical Theatre Group recently
entertained a full house in the assembly hall at
Baycrest’s assisted living facility with a spirited
performance celebrating Jewish culture.
Children’s shoes, a brooch in the shape of the Star
of David, a pair of candlesticks—these are just a
few of the artifacts used to spark the memories
and stories of Baycrest clients in an oral history
and storytelling project, Journey Through Memory.
The concert included folk songs, folklore
and a dance performed by the professional
troupe, the Nirkoda Israeli and Jewish
Dancers. Group founder and Terraces
resident Yankle Gladstone wrote the script
and directed the chorus. “We’re very focused
on expressing a youthful spirit,” he said.
“We are constantly celebrating life.”
The project was developed by students from
the Master’s of Museum Studies Program at the
University of Toronto who completed internships
with Baycrest’s Department of Culture, Arts and
Innovation. The students presented the artifacts
to six clients as a means of opening up a dialogue.
Despite varying levels of cognitive ability, each
client shared stories of his or her life. These
were captured on video and made available for
viewing earlier this year in the Apotex Centre,
Jewish Home for the Aged.

discusses shape and form.
GLEE CLUB DEBUTS
AT THE APOTEX
The light-filled Winter Garden
in the Apotex Centre, Jewish
Home for the Aged served as
the perfect concert hall for
the debut performance in
December of Buddy’s
Glee Club II. Led by music
therapist Chrissy Pearson,
the choir brings together
residents from across the
Apotex, including some who
are cognitively well and others
with cognitive impairment.
The glee club is part of the
second phase of a music
therapy research study led
by senior music therapist
Amy Clements-Cortes.
Both phases of the study are
made possible by a donation
from Margaret Nightingale in
honour of her late husband
Buddy, and by a grant from the
Association for Interdisciplinary
Research in Singing (AIRS).
The study is investigating how
singing in a choir may benefit
the health and wellness of older
adults. Choristers met once
a week for 20 weeks, singing
a broad range of songs, from
traditional Yiddish and Hebrew
folk songs to show tunes, and
even some popular favourites
by artists like Johnny Cash
and the Beatles.

BIKING FOR BAYCREST
The Barrie to Baycrest fundraiser was started
in 1996 by a small group of Baycrest supporters
and bike enthusiasts. Today, this exclusive bike
ride hosts 100 dedicated participants who
raise critical funds for the organization they
love. Over the past 17 years, our riders have
raised over $9.7 million for fitness programs
at Baycrest. We thank them for cycling in
support of Baycrest.

“Baycrest was there to provide care for my dear, late
wife Bina in her time of need. Her life was tragically
cut short by brain cancer. Baycrest provided Bina and
our family with the support that we needed during
her illness, and at home, at that difficult time.”

proceeds from her bat mitzvah to Baycrest.
