Ask your Care Services Coordinator about these additional services:
Transportation Program
Although research indicates that pALS who regularly attend clinics live longer, fuller lives, accessible transportation can often become a barrier to continued participation in medical care. Wheelchair accessible transportation to/from ALS clinic appointments is available if you are not able to acquire an accessible vehicle.
Respite Care Program
As the disease progresses, the 24-hour care required for a person living with ALS typically falls on a family member who must also continue the duties of maintaining a household. The Respite Care program provides funding to allow for a much needed break from the rigors of daily caregiving.
Respiratory Consultants
When it comes to managing your symptoms, some challenges are best addressed by a consultant who understands the secondary medical concerns that may arise as a result of ALS disease progression.
