My brother has had ALS for 7 years. It has progressed slowly, His wife has essentially been the sole caregiver for this time - for the last 2 or 3 years he has been completely disabled. They have bankrupted themselves hiring home health aids. Does anyone know of any care giving agencies in the NY area? He basically needs someone who can lift and feed him, and know what to do if he starts choking. He is not yet on any assisted breathing apparatus. I hold out hope that there's SOMEONE who has a better solution than both physical and financial bankruptcy
Thanks
