ALS Hospice Survey - Calling All ALS Patients and Caregivers

I continue to work on the ALS/Hospice Task Force. The task force is a combined effort of the ALS Association (Greater Sacramento and Golden West Chapters) and California Hospice and Palliative Care Association. We are working to create best practices and education for hospice staff providing care to ALS patients. The task force is working to assure ALS patients have the appropriate information before entering and upon receiving hospice care. These best practices will help hospice team members understand the challenges of ALS and better meet the needs of ALS patients and their families.

The task force created a survey to gather information from pALS and primary caregivers past or present. Even if you haven't used hospice, please complete the survey as one of the task force objectives is to better understand the expectations and perceptions of hospice before it is utilized by pALS. Additionally, I encourage both the pALS and their primary caregiver to complete the survey as sometimes their perspectives are different. 

Here is the link to the survey -
