GIBSONIA, Pa. (Richland Twp.), Nov. 29, 2005 - 1,486 residents in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and personal care homes in Westmoreland County will have the holidays made merrier for them through PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS®. The residents live in the 26 nursing homes, assisted living facilities and personal care homes that have enrolled their residents in the PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS® program to ensure each will receive a holiday gift and visit this year.
Representatives from each of the facilities have completed the necessary training required and have let the local PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS® headquarters know of their residents' Christmas wishes. PRESENTS FOR PATIENTS® is coordinated locally by St. Barnabas Charities, 5850 Meridian Road, Gibsonia.
