House Resolution No. by Representative Davis designates April 16, 2025, as AARP Louisiana Caregiver Day at the state capitol. This resolution highlights the significant role of family caregivers in Louisiana, where approximately 630,000 individuals provide care to adult relatives or friends, contributing an estimated economic value of $6.9 billion annually. It also addresses the challenges faced by caregivers, including the 11,250 individuals on waiting lists for assistance with daily activities and the preference of nearly 90% of elderly Louisianians to remain in their homes with the support of family and friends.

The resolution encourages all Louisianians to recognize and support caregivers, acknowledging their vital impact on the lives of the elderly in the state. By designating a specific day to honor these caregivers, the resolution aims to raise awareness about their contributions and the need for better support systems for both caregivers and those they care for.
