Proclamation 5282 of November 26, 1984
National Home Care Week, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Home care services, which are rapidly gaining acceptance throughout the Nation, allow the physically and mentally impaired who do not require skilled nursing home care to remain in their own homes, or to stay with their families, instead of being moved to an institution. Home care provides individualized support services to permit maximum independence for those in need of assistance. Progress in medical science and the generally rising level of health care from birth are contributing to a greater number of people living longer. A corollary to this advance is an increase in chronic illnesses of the aged that require care over an extended period of time. Home care provides the assistance needed to help older Americans to maintain independence despite such illness. All Americans should commend those individuals who provide personal and health care in the home. Their skill and caring make the lives of those they serve fuller and more meaningful. 98 Stat. 1824.
To give special recognition to the importance of home care Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 237, has designated the vember 25, 1984, through December 1, 1984, as "National Week," and authorized and requested the President to issue a in observance of that week.
