ALS In-Home Care Services

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a difficult diagnosis that requires a series of major adjustments for both the individual and their families. For many, the goal is to remain comfortably at home for as long as possible, spending time with loved ones. We know how important it is to have professionally trained caregivers for those living with ALS.

In-home care for individuals with ALS needs to be thoughtful and tailored each step of the way. One of the key differentiating factors is age. According to the ALS Association, the average age of diagnosis is 55 years old. Many of those affected by ALS still have children living at home and a spouse that may or may not be working. The personality and schedule of the caregiver should reflect these needs.

Tandem Careplanning has professional, highly-vetted caregivers that can provide additional support to individuals living with ALS, as well as their families. All Tandem ALS caregivers undergo thorough background checks and receive specialized training and our team is available 24/7 throughout the process, providing resources and guidance as needs evolve.
