                               RESOLUTION


 
    Designating the week beginning September 9, 2007, as ``National 
                        Assisted Living Week''.

Whereas the number of elderly and disabled citizens of the United States is 
        increasing dramatically;
Whereas assisted living is a long-term care service that fosters choice, 
        dignity, independence, and autonomy in the elderly and disabled across 
        the United States;
Whereas the National Center for Assisted Living created National Assisted Living 
        Week;
Whereas the theme of National Assisted Living Week 2007 is ``Legacies of Love''; 
        and
Whereas this theme highlights the privilege, value, and responsibility of 
        passing the legacies of the lives of the elderly and disabled of the 
        United States down through the generations that care for and love them: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the week beginning September 9, 2007, as 
        ``National Assisted Living Week''; and
            (2) urges all people of the United States--
                    (A) to visit friends and loved ones who reside at 
                assisted living facilities; and
                    (B) to learn more about assisted living services, 
                including how assisted living services benefit 
                communities in the United States.
