SR 289 Georgia Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Georgia Caregivers Day; recognize February 28, 2025

This resolution designates February 28, 2025, as Georgia Caregivers Day to honor caregivers across the state. It directly recognizes both professional caregivers (nearly 4.6 million in the U.S.) and family caregivers (estimated at 44 million) who assist individuals with aging or disabilities. The key mechanism is the Senate’s formal acknowledgment of their role in enabling people to remain safely at home, expressing gratitude for their commitment. This is a ceremonial resolution with no new programs, funding, or legal requirements; it simply commemorates caregivers through official recognition.
