To designate Tuesday, May 5, 2015, as AARP Louisiana Caregiver Day at the state capitol.
WHEREAS, Louisiana ranks thirty-seventh in the nation for support of unpaid family

living wish to remain in their homes and communities as they age; and
WHEREAS, almost three-fourths of older people living in a community who receive
personal assistance rely exclusively on unpaid caregivers for help.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the
Legislature of Louisiana does hereby designate Tuesday, May 5, 2015, as AARP Louisiana
