profits in their ability to adapt and to support post pandemic recovery and the resulting long-term
impact to older adults.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the City of Kitchener developed several responsive
programs and services to support older adults who were experiencing isolation in their homes.
These programs included virtual and telephone -based programs, social support calls and home
delivery activity kits. Today, these programs continue to be offered however the content, variety
and diversity of the virtual programs could be enhanced.
REPORT:
Baycrest is a global leader in aging and brain health and has developed a successful virtual
program - Baycrest@Home. It is a virtual wellness platform that focuses on supporting older
adults and their families with curated content that assists them to stay active, connected, and
healthier while living in their homes. The platform utilizes Zoom to offer several daily activities
including fitness activities, art workshops and wellness activities.
By participating in this pilot, Kitchener's older adults and their caregivers will be able to
participate in a suite of online programs via the Baycrest@Home Zoom platform. Staff will add
this suite of virtual programs to our current inventory of programs and will utilize our existing
registration process. This opportunity will increase and broaden the diversity and quantity of our
current virtual program content. The platform provides unlimited access to 40 hours of
programming, 7 days per week — all free of charge. Any Kitchener older adult, with an active
net account will have access to online workshops, peer supports, arts and fitness -based
activities and interactive games. Caregivers will have online access to discussion groups,
supports and resources.
Staff were approached to participate in the project which is an extension of Baycrest@Home's
dementia -inclusive virtual platform to 10 community-based organizations who serve older adults.
As a participating organization, the City of Kitchener will have access to the full suite of virtual
programs — which includes culturally diverse content. Additionally, staff will have access to
participation and evaluation data that will assist in future programming planning and
development.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This report supports Fostering a Caring City Together: Focuses on welcoming residents of
all ages, backgrounds & experiences; residents working on decisions with a meaningful
influence; healthy, thriving residents with easy access to diverse & inclusive programs &
services.

Statement of Work (SOW)
This SOW is made subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Agreement. This engagement is part
of a project supported by the Community Services Recovery Fund to help community organizations serving
older adults to explore sustainable and effective ways to make virtual content available to their local clients,
including leveraging Baycrest@Home's content and platform.
The Fund represents an investment from the Government of Canada to support community service
organizations, including charities, non -profits and Indigenous governing bodies, as they adapt and modernize
their organizations. Especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, community service organizations are
playing a key role in addressing complex social problems faced by many communities across Canada. As
these organizations work to support recovery in their communities, the Fund is intended to help them adapt
and modernize their operations to grow their support in communities.
During the pandemic, when in-person services for older adults was halted, the potential for virtual channels to
improve service accessibility and meet the needs of older adults was clearly demonstrated. With the return to
pre-Covid service obligations, the ability to continue to support both virtual and in-person services has proven
to be difficult. Baycrest@Home, as a program dedicated to the creation and support of virtual content and
services designed for older adults, believes there is potential to sustainably scale an approach combining
centralized virtual resources with local community presence.
The goal of this initiative is to work with community-based organizations to explore models of collaboration
between Baycrest@Home and community based organizations, supplying access to virtual content and
supports with community organizations providing client engagement and representing local needs and
preferences.
It is in this context that the JHA will provide the Organization with access to it's Platform, and the Organization
will participate in the program by assisting with local recruitment, service evaluation, and participate in a
project working group.
