Such resolutions may foster a greater awareness of the importance of caregiving in the community and could inspire further recognition and support for caregivers. While it does not change legislation, it reinforces positive attitudes towards aging and caregiving, which can impact public perception and potentially influence future policy initiatives related to elder care.

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 169, introduced by Senator Peterson, is a commendatory resolution recognizing Ms. Bobbie Smith of New Orleans for her exceptional service as a caregiver, particularly towards senior adults. The resolution specifically honors her receipt of the Mary Steibel CAREGiver of the Year Award in 2012, awarded at a national convention for her significant contributions to the well-being of elderly individuals within her community.

It promotes a positive image of aging and highlights the critical role caregivers play in enhancing the lives of older adults.
