Presbyterian Home Awarded $1.7 Million Grant from New York State
New Hartford, NY November 3, 2008
Presbyterian Home has been awarded a $1.7 million from New York State's HEAL NY 8. The grant will be used to renovate and use adaptive technology to improve the lives of those with Parkinson disease. Presbyterian Home believes the project will have a dramatic impact on the quality of life of those being provided the specialized services. This project will have statewide and national implications for improving how long term care is being provided for those with Parkinson disease.
Presbyterian Home was the first in the nation to offer specialized care for people with Parkinson's and other movement disorders in a nursing home setting; and is the only facility in New York State to be certified to provide Parkinson's Care by the National Parkinson's Foundation of the Heartland.
Presbyterian Home currently has 60 people with Parkinson disease living on our campus.
