When a family receives the diagnosis of ALS, they are faced with an overwhelming array of questions, paperwork, medical advice, financial and logistical challenges, and life-altering changes. Conventional health care does not begin to address the complexity of these needs. This is where MAC Angels Foundation steps in to fill a void in services. I
I'm a long-time volunteer for MAC Angels and am so proud of the support programs they provide, some of which include:
- Home visits by members of our professional services team
- Informed dialogue on the impact of disease progression
- Ongoing practical guidance and emotional support
- Consultation with a licensed social worker and/or R.N. to help families navigate the healthcare system
- Aid to pALS and families in creating personal and professional support systems
- Advocacy for pALS, virtually or in-person, with healthcare providers
- Assistance to pALS and families in securing durable medical equipment
- Bi-weekly caregiver support group
- Education on and assistance with completing advance healthcare directives
