Bill > SR193

This resolution designates November 2025 as "Care at Home Month" in Pennsylvania, recognizing the critical role of home care, home health, and hospice professionals who provide essential services to individuals with disabilities and the state's aging population. The resolution highlights that these professionals perform vital hands-on assistance with daily living activities, medical services, and compassionate support, helping people remain in their homes with dignity and independence. It emphasizes that these workers represent over 375,000 jobs in Pennsylvania and are crucial to supporting the growing number of residents who need care, with an estimated one in three Pennsylvanians expected to be over 60 by 2030. The resolution also notes that currently, over 500,000 Pennsylvania residents receive home-based care each month, but there is only one home care worker for every eight people wishing to receive such care. By designating this month, the Senate aims to honor, commend, and express gratitude to these professionals for their tireless service, skill, and empathy in enhancing the lives of Pennsylvanians and their families.
