ALS and other neuromuscular diseases, like Multiple Sclerosis or Muscular Dystrophy, don't just weaken muscles. They reshape daily life, slowly taking away speech, movement, eating, and eventually, breathing. For patients and families, it's not just physically exhausting; it's emotionally draining.
These illnesses don't follow a straight path. Some days are steady, others bring unexpected loss. Muscle weakness may begin subtly, then lead to:
When these signs build up, the focus often needs to shift, from fighting the disease to supporting the person living with it.
Hospice isn't just for the final days. For ALS and similar conditions, it becomes appropriate when decline speeds up and independence fades. Common signs include:
If a doctor believes life expectancy is about six months or less, hospice becomes an option. At Pallatus, we walk families through this decision with clarity and care.
Hospice doesn't mean giving up. It means creating peace, preventing suffering, and keeping loved ones connected. Our support may include:
For many families, the hardest part is losing verbal connection. But communication doesn't stop when speech does. We support eye-tracking devices, hand signals, and even shared silence. Because staying close doesn't require words; it only requires presence.
Caring for someone with ALS is physically demanding and emotionally exhausting. Families may feel alone, unsure, or overwhelmed. We offer more than just care plans—we offer understanding. Whether it's learning how to lift your loved one, manage medical tools, or navigate what comes next, we guide you step by step, without pressure.
ALS and neuromuscular conditions take so much. But with hospice, we give something back: comfort, clarity, and control over what matters most. At Pallatus, we don't just manage symptoms. We preserve the person, honor their story, and surround them with care that doesn't stop.
