Specialized ALS Care Webinar for Long-Term Care Providers

July 24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join us on July 24, 2025 at 7pm ET for a 75 minute informational session where we will explore the unique needs of people living with ALS in long-term care settings. You will hear from a panel of individuals living with ALS and health-care providers.

🧑‍⚕️ Tailored Focus:
Explore the unique needs of people living with ALS in long-term care settings. From early-stage support to advanced care planning, we’ll walk through key considerations for providing high-quality, compassionate care.

❓ Common Questions Addressed:

  • What specialized training does staff need to effectively care for people living with ALS?

  • How do we best support ALS-specific needs across the disease’s progression?

  • What are the insurance coverage options and how can facilities improve access to essential resources?

⚖️ Quality of Care Matters:
We’ll examine critical concerns, including:

  • The loss of undocumented caregivers and its ripple effects

  • Rising agency costs and growing scheduling issues

  • The shrinking skilled caregiver pool and financial strain on facilities

  • Navigating insurance-related challenges

🏠 Special Segment: Living Alone with ALS
Understand the heightened risks and support requirements for individuals facing ALS without live-in caregivers.

This session is ideal for administrators, care managers, nursing staff, and social workers seeking practical insights and strategies to enhance ALS care within your facility.
