SUBJECT: Older Americans Month
DIGEST:
This resolution declares May 2019 as Older Americans Month to increase public awareness of the many contributions and positive impacts of older adults in the State of California.
ANALYSIS: This resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- California is home to a growing number of older adults who enrich our communities through their diverse life experiences.
- More and more older adults are making a positive impact in California as volunteers, employers, employees, educators, mentors, advocates, and more, offering insight and experience that benefit the state as a whole.
- California can enhance the lives of older adults in our communities by promoting home- and community-based services that support independent living, involving older adults in community events and other activities, and providing opportunities for older adults to work, volunteer, learn, lead, and mentor.
- This year’s Older Americans Month theme is “Connect, Create, Contribute,” encouraging older adults to connect with family, friends, and local services and resources, create through activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment, and contribute time, talent, and life experiences to benefit others.
- Older Americans Month also serves to raise awareness concerning elder abuse and neglect.
This resolution declares May 2019 as Older Americans Month to increase public awareness of the many contributions and positive impacts of older adults in the State of California.
