My mom was diagnosed with ALS in August. I think its progressing quickly on her. She has no use of her hands or arms. She lives with my dad and he does everything for her. One of our concerns is that if something should happen to him (he has a heart condition) or should he fall, pass out, god forbid a fire in the house, etc., my mom has no way to call for help.
Even in the winter they came home one night and it was snowing and my dad got out of the car first to clean off the walkway for her and he fell. She stayed in the car because she cannot open the door or car window, etc. to get help. He was ok but that is just an example of if something happens to him, she has no way of calling for help. She cannot use the phone, can barely walk on her own, is there anything that she can use without the use of her hands?
Thank you.
