ALS Care


Providing care for a person living with ALS can be challenging, especially as the disease progresses. Family caregivers often struggle to care for their loved one while juggling the demands of daily life.

Below are some options for finding additional care and support. 

Picture
These skilled nursing and therapy services should be covered by insurance.
Picture
Non-medical home care provides assistance with dressing, bathing, etc.
Picture
Respite care can provide a much-needed break for family caregivers.

Picture
Living facilities provide 24/7 hospital-like care, but can be expensive.
Picture
Palliative care ​manages pain and provides comfort for the chronically ill.
Picture
Hospice care provides compassionate care and comfort at the end of life.

Veterans: The VA provides ​service-connected benefits for personal care.

Long-term Care Policies

If you purchased a long-term care policy prior to your symptoms and diagnosis—and have been paying your premiums—you should receive financial assistance to help pay for non-medical long-term care.

​If you have a long-term care provision or rider through your life insurance policy, you should also receive financial assistance with long-term care.
