The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 57 proposes to designate May as Older Americans Month in Wisconsin, recognizing the significant contributions of older residents to the state. With over 1.45 million individuals aged 60 and older, who make up 25% of Wisconsin's population, the resolution highlights the importance of supporting this demographic through various initiatives established by the Older Americans Act since 1965. These initiatives include essential services such as Meals on Wheels, in-home care, and transportation assistance, which help older adults maintain their health and independence while also supporting family caregivers.

The resolution emphasizes the Wisconsin State Legislature's commitment to promoting the well-being of older adults and fostering community engagement. It encourages activities that enhance the lives of individuals of all ages, ensuring that the experience and contributions of older adults are valued and integrated into community life. By designating May as Older Americans Month, the resolution aims to raise awareness and appreciation for the role of older citizens in society, while advocating for continued support and resources to help them live fulfilling lives.
