Designates first week in August as "Adult Diaper Need Awareness Week" in New Jersey.
This Senate Resolution designates the first week of August as "Adult Diaper Need Awareness Week" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about the challenges faced by adults with incontinence. The bill directly affects older adults, people with disabilities, and individuals with chronic illnesses who may lack access to affordable adult diapers and incontinence products. It highlights the financial burden of these products, which can cost between $80 and $300 per month, and notes that many people with limited incomes or those relying on Medicaid and Medicare face significant barriers to obtaining necessary supplies. The resolution aims to draw attention to the health and social consequences of diaper need, including increased risk of infection, isolation, and mental health issues, while encouraging support for diaper banks and other assistance programs.
