A RESOLUTION
Recognizing February 28, 2025, as Georgia Caregivers Day; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, created in 2015, National Caregivers Day serves to recognize caregivers across
the country whose compassionate care enables millions of Americans who are aging or who
have a disability to remain as independent as possible in their own homes; and
WHEREAS, professional caregivers, who number nearly 4.6 million in the United States,
and family caregivers, who are estimated at 44 million, are lifelines to millions of Americans
who need assistance with medical, personal, and end-of-life care; and
WHEREAS, caregiving has been proclaimed the ultimate form of love and respect, and as
a country, we should support and demonstrate our gratitude for caregivers and their role in
fulfilling an individual's desire to remain at home; and
WHEREAS, the home care industry is among the fastest growing health care industries in
the United States, and the Home Care Association Georgia Chapter continuously advocates
on behalf of our frontline caregivers; and
WHEREAS, during the COVID-19 pandemic, caregivers stepped up to the challenge by not
only caring for their clients but also risking their own personal health and safety while doing
so; and
WHEREAS, home care workers allow families to stay together at home safely and with
dignity as they age.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body
recognize February 28, 2025, as Georgia Caregivers Day and express their gratitude to
caregivers for their unwavering commitment to the care of their clients and families.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the
press.
