Services

ALS Services include a loan closet of durable medical equipment, augmentative and alternative communication devices, a respite care program for caregivers, and nutritional supplement assistance, as well in-home visits from a Patient Services Coordinator.

Equipment Loan Programs
Most chapters loan a range of equipment to ALS families. Equipment such as a lift device, wheelchair or communication device can make a significant difference to the family caregiver as well as the ALS patient.

Respite Programs
Many chapters offer respite programs to provide family caregivers time away from the home and their responsibilities. Caregivers can use the time - from a few hours to a full day or more - to take care of personal matters, catch up with family and friends and have a chance for rest and relaxation.
