Comments: A startling fact about ALS is that well over 90% of the people afflicted with this disease opt to die rather than use a ventilator to breathe for them when the diaphragm becomes to weak to pump the lungs. A significant reason for this is that the perception of life on a vent is pretty dismal. Across the country, the only places to provide care to a vented person are hospitals (or worse) - not an inviting living environment. A prominent nursing home provider in the Boston area is teamed up with the ALS Association in MA to create a new concept in residential care. This is HUGE! In the near future, a person with ALS (pALS), will have a real reason to look forward to a long life.
