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 pressing issue of over 11,000 individuals on waiting lists for assistance with daily activities, emphasizing that nearly 90% of elderly Louisianians prefer to remain in their homes and communities, relying heavily on unpaid family caregivers for support.

The resolution calls on all Louisianians to recognize and support caregivers, acknowledging their vital contributions to the well-being of the elderly population in the state. By designating a specific day to honor these caregivers, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the challenges they face and the importance of their role in the lives of those they care for.
