Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program

I don’t know what we would do without ALS United Mid-Atlantic.

ALS United Mid-Atlantic’s Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program has been serving families like the Powells for nearly 30 years.

The Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program offers patients in need flexible financial grants. Patients and families can use this funding to hire caregivers for their specialized needs in whatever stage of their ALS journey. This program was created because Medicare and private insurance do not provide adequate in-home care coverage, particularly for people with ALS.

The Powell Family has used funding from the Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program to hire a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) who is experienced with ALS care. This CNA comes when Liz works outside the home.

Having an experienced, trusted caregiver to help out is critical to Liz and Mike’s well-being, “One less thing to worry about.”

Your contributions to the Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program directly impact the lives of patients and families living with ALS.
