That's so thoughtful!
Baby it's Cold outside! 🥶❄️☃️ But it's warm and cozy here at St. Camillus thanks to a VERY SPECIAL anonymous angel who donated dozens of beautiful blankets for our residents. Our angel not only donates items for our friends at St. Camillus at Christmas, but all year long. She is so kind and generous and we appreciate all that she does for us. And although she wants no recognition for her kindness, we have a sneaking suspicion she might just be Santa's Sister! 🎅🤶She's definitely on our Nice List. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts our mysterious friend. ❤

It's the most WONDERFUL time of the Year! Just look at the thoughtful gifts donated by the Upstate Geriatric Interest Group, headed up by Kim, a fourth-year medical student. This incredible group "adopted" St. Camillus and brought our residents stuffed animals, hats, lotions, picture books, personal letters and lots, lots more! We truly value our relationship with The Department of Geriatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical Hospital. Thank you! SUNY Upstate Geriatrics
PS - Check out Erin, ADON, & Jesssica, VP of Nursing, - plus a few of our friends.... Can you tell someone's excited to get these gifts! We ❤ you MJ!

Thank you, he really enjoyed his time with you and your staff and residents.
In the true nature of the most caring people who we are surrounded by, many have asked us if they could purchase gifts for our residents during the Holiday Season.
In response to your generous offers, we've put up a St. Camillus Resident Angel Tree in our main entrance lobby, with personalized gift tags for our friends here at St. Camillus. See below for the details. And, if you are not able to take a tag and would like to drop off an item, here is a suggested list of items our residents enjoy.
Thank you for making our residents’ Christmas Merry & Bright!
