| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| welcome members of the Texas Association for Home Care and | ||
| Hospice and to recognize Home Care and Hospice Awareness Day; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Home care services provide high quality and | ||
| compassionate health care services to those in need and are | ||
| especially helpful during community or individual health | ||
| crises; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Home care is the most preferred method of health | ||
| care delivery among disabled, elderly, and chronically ill | ||
| individuals who are eager to live independently in their own | ||
| homes as long as they possibly can; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Home care in Texas is a growing alternative to | ||
| hospitalization or other institution-based forms of health care | ||
| for those who suffer from acute and chronic illnesses; home care | ||
| services are provided to hundreds of thousands of Texans each | ||
| year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Hospice care provides humane and comforting | ||
| support for terminally ill patients and their families; hospice | ||
| care includes pain control, palliative medical care, and social, | ||
| emotional, and spiritual services; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Hospice fulfills the basic human need of feeling | ||
| comfortable in familiar surroundings and of attaining physical | ||
| and emotional peace during the last stage of life; and | ||
| WHEREAS, There is a growing need to increase public | ||
| discussion about the advances in pain control and the care | ||
| options available to individuals of all ages, races, and | ||
| backgrounds who are at the end of life; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby proclaim March 13, 2019, Home Care and Hospice | ||
| Awareness Day and encourage the support and participation of all | ||
| citizens in learning more about home care and hospice care for the | ||
| elderly, disabled, and the terminally ill. | ||
