Respite Program

The Respite Program provides respite care grants for ALS caregivers. Respite care is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members with ALS and who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home. The grant ranges between $1,000 to $3,000 and is available twice a year.  

Caregivers of patients with the following support systems do not qualify: Patient with Medicaid Assistance, Patient with Aging Assistance, Patient on Hospice, Veterans with ALS, Patient with LTD or Nursing Home Insurance.
