Proclamation, National Home Health Care Month

Whereas, home care services provide high quality and compassionate health care services to those in need, especially at times of community or personal health care crisis,

Whereas, home care is the most preferred method of health care delivery among disabled, elderly and chronically ill individuals eager to live independently in their own homes as long as they possibly can; and

Whereas, home care services allow families to stay together, and provide for greater health, dignity and comfort in our communities; and

Whereas, home care in the United States is a growing alternative to hospitalization or other institution-based forms of health care for acute, chronic and terminal illnesses, providing care to millions of Americans each year; and

Whereas, thousands of everyday heroes such as home care nurses, therapists and aides work tirelessly to provide professional health care and support to millions of Americans in need of quality health services; and

Whereas, these dedicated home care professionals and volunteers form a support network that continues to play a vital role in health care delivery for our nation's disabled, infirm and aging population; and

Whereas, Amedisys Home Health Care, the National Association for Home Care and Hospice, and thousands of home care and hospices agencies across the United States have declared the month of November as National Home Care Month and are calling on all Americans to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies and activities;

Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Ann Melton, Adair County Judge Executive, do hereby proclaim November 2014 as National Home Care Month in Adair County , KY and encourage the support and participation of all citizens in learning more about the home care and hospice concepts of care for the elderly, disabled, and infirm.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused this seal to be affixed.

- Ann Melton, Adair County Judge Executive, Adair County, KY.
November 17, 2014
