Home modifications can be very costly and can take a long time to be completed. It is important that you work with an ALS specialist or someone with experience with ALS patients to see if there is equipment available which may minimize the need for modifications. Also, your consultant must understand the progressive nature of ALS in order to plan home modifications which will be of use to you in the future.
The most obvious home modification is the installation of a ramp. Ramps are necessary where there is a step or several steps and should be equipped with guardrails and handrails. For referrals to contractors in your area who do home modifications, call your nearest Independent Living Center. Remember to ask within your community for referrals. Check with support group members, friends, church groups, clinics and others who may have done home modifications to find contractors who worked with others successfully to modify their homes.
