There are many ways to help families impacted by ALS. The ALS Association put together a list of ten ways to make a difference in the lives of people living with ALS and caregivers.

For someone facing the challenge of becoming an ALS caregiver, there are many paths to gaining the knowledge and experiences they need to care for someone with the disease. Finding accurate and timely information can play a key role in equipping those impacted by an ALS diagnosis with the skills they need to provide the best possible quality care.

Over the past years we’ve had many conversations and interviews with ALS caregivers, and while no two experiences are ever alike, there are often similarities. We thought we would share some of these caregiver stories and advice we’ve collected along the way.
