In-Home Lou Gehrig’s Disease Care in Torrance California

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that deteriorates the upper and lower motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord over time. As the nerve cells deteriorate, so does the functioning of the muscles throughout the body. Muscles become weak, shrink in size, and eventually all movement and dexterity is lost. In advanced stages of the disease, the individual may experience problems with speech, breathing, and swallowing. When you have an Elderly or Senior loved one with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, it can be worrisome knowing that your loved one will have difficulty walking, cooking their own meals, getting dressed, showering and other tasks. Tasks become nearly impossible and even dangerous for the Elderly individual.

A-1 Home Care Agency provides dedicated caregivers for Lou Gehrig’s Disease Care on a 24 hour Live-In Care or Hourly Care basis no matter how advanced your loved one’s symptoms are. From assistance with basic personal care and activities of daily living to lifestyle enhancing tasks such as providing nutritious meals and beneficial exercise routines, our caregivers can ensure your loved one’s standard of living is as good as it can be at home.

All of our ALS caregivers, nurse aides, companions, and home helpers must have at least 2 years of prior at home caregiving experience, verifiable professional references, a National Background Check/DMV Check, Tuberculosis testing, Malpractice/Liability insurance, First Aid/CPR training, and a personal interview with our office staff.
