Joint Resolution To Support Family Caregivers In Maine
This is a symbolic resolution (not a law), not a bill with new policies. It asks the Maine Legislature to support reviewing state policies for effectiveness in helping family caregivers, professional caregivers, and those receiving care. It also designates February 21, 2025, as National Caregivers Day in Maine. The resolution acknowledges the significant unpaid care provided by Maine's 166,000 family caregivers but does not create new programs or funding.
