The Morris & Sally Justein Heritage Museum (generously supported by the Austin family) provides an enjoyable and accessible cultural experience for families and clients at Baycrest. Our museum is a place for people of all ages to discover and enjoy the history and beauty of Judaic heritage. Exhibits are designed especially for residents and members of the community.

At Baycrest, we believe cultural programs are essential for seniors living in residential facilities because they create an enriched, stimulating environment and help clients maintain a connection to their life-long traditions and learnings. The museum’s permanent Judaica collection (numbering more than 1000 items) preserves Jewish treasures for years to come, to be enjoyed and admired by future generations.

Baycrest is one of the first long-term care facilities to incorporate a museum on site, regarding cultural legacy as an important factor to both the personal life journey and the link to a shared community narrative.
