When my grandmother was still with me she was diagnosed with ALS. I was a young man in college and was able to be there to help take care of her. I would prepare her meals, make sure she took her medication on time. I would clean her house and intend to her every need. Even if it was just to keep her company so she didn't feel alone. Sometimes it is difficult for an elderly Person to ask for help when they have been able to independently take care of themselves their whole life. I can see how this can be frustrating for them. I'm happy to help. I have the patience of Job from the bible. They will be more than pleased with my service to aid them!
