Description
Actively living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a challenge that affects families emotionally and financially. The high cost of health care, lack of accessible transportation, and insurance restrictions severely limit the independence and quality of life of both patients and their caregivers. Established in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, The Joe Martin ALS Foundation helps families face these challenges by providing free homecare services. Accessible wheelchair transportation, range of motion and exercise, home accessibility evaluation, assistive computer loans and tech support, trip planning, and assistance with getting out of bed and ready for a productive day are some of the services provided.
