Caring for the Caregiver | Inspiration | Resources


Caregiver Services

While the primary focus during a fight against ALS is with the patient, the families and friends need our help as well!  These caregivers face an uncertain future as their friend, family member or acquaintance is fighting this ailment. 

The ALS Association of Greater Los Angeles provides support groups for the caregivers in our local community.  Also included in this area of the web site are:

  • Caring for the Caregiver.  This heartfelt reading is meant to be an inspiration for the caregivers in the local area.  Caring for a PALS is a difficult and challenging task, and care and support must be given to those supporting the PALS as well.   A very good read!
     

  • Inspiration.  For those times when the caregivers are weak, these inspirational readings selected by local caregivers and PALS will help lighten the mood and rejuvenate the caregiver in their daily struggle to provide care.
     

  • Resources.  While the local chapter can provide only so many resources, these links of other local and national resources may be beneficial to our local caregivers.  If you have any other good resources, please feel free to share!
