My wife is in the early stages of bulbar onset ALS so we are trying to get ahead of the ball by planning for eventualities. One of the items on the list is the eventual need for a facility that can handle the intense physical care needed toward the end.
I've contacted a couple of nearby Assisted Living places and found out that if a feeding tube is involved, they can not accommodate ALS patients. They say a registered nurse is required for doing the feeding in case something goes wrong.
Q: Is there a particular kind of facility that is more suited to ALS patients?
Q: Does anyone know of a place in the DFW area of Texas that specializes in ALS Care?
