Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that affects the muscles of the body, eventually rendering the individual incapable of movement, which can cause problems for individuals with the disease and their families.

The disease deteriorates the upper and lower motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord that are responsible for controlling muscle movement. As the nerve cells deteriorate, the muscles of the body begin to weaken, shrink, and lose functionality. In late stages of the disease, the individual can lose control of all voluntary movement and have difficulty swallowing, speaking, and breathing.

If your Elderly and Senior has Lou Gehrig’s Disease, the caregivers at A-1 Home Care Agency can help make daily living easier for your loved one and give you peace of mind in knowing that your loved one will have compassionate living assistance. We provide Lou Gehrig’s Disease Care on a 24 hour Live-In Care or Hourly Care basis and can provide care no matter what stage of the disease your loved one is in.
