This November, during National Family Caregivers Month, Caregiver Action Network’s Plug-in to Care campaign focuses on helping caregivers connect to the right resources at the right time. For those caring for someone, connection is especially important—whether to trusted information, supportive communities, or caregiver self-care tools.
The Caregiver’s Role in ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects muscle control, mobility, speech, and eventually breathing. As the disease advances, family caregivers play a crucial role in providing daily assistance, coordinating medical care, and ensuring quality of life. Because ALS caregiving demands change rapidly over time, caregivers often need ongoing support, training, and resources to meet both their loved one’s and their own needs.
