[S.J. Res. 113] 
Whereas organized home health care services to the elderly and 
disabled have existed in this country since the last quarter of the

emphasis on the dignity and independence of the individual re-
ceiving these services;

skilled nursing services, physical therapy, speech therapy, social 
services, occupational therapy, and home health aide services, the 
number of home health agencies providing these services has 
increased from less than five hundred to more than three thou-
sand; and 
Whereas many private and charitable organizations provide these 
and similar services to millions of patients each year preventing, 
postponing, and limiting the need for institutionalization: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled. That the week beginning National Home 
November 28 through December 4, 1982, hereby is designated "Na- ^f^^i,^h Care
