24-hour Home Care for ALS
ALS home care that really works
When a diagnosis of ALS is made, life changes dramatically — not only for the person who is ill, but also for their loved ones.
The need for care, peace of mind, and trust is growing. Happyhomecare offers warm and professional ALS home care, attentive to who you are, what you need, and how you want to live—at home, in your familiar surroundings.
High-quality and trusted care in your own home
We believe that you have the right to care in a home environment where you feel safe and comfortable.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease of the nervous system in which muscles gradually lose their strength. Speaking, swallowing, walking, and eventually breathing become increasingly difficult. Despite the unpredictable course of the disease, one wish often remains: to be able to continue living at home, surrounded by loved ones.
Early signs and symptoms of ALS
The first signs of ALS are often subtle:
-
Decreased strength in arms or legs
-
Muscle cramps and tremors
-
Difficulty with fine motor skills (e.g. writing or buttoning)
-
Slurred speech or difficulty swallowing
-
As the disease progresses, dependency increases. This is precisely when personalized care is essential.

Practical information
1- Intake & introduction
We start with a personal consultation to discuss your situation, wishes, and needs. Then, we develop a care plan that truly suits you.
2- Reimbursement and financing
Happyhomecare collaborates with all healthcare providers. 24-hour care for ALS is usually funded by the Long-Term Care Act (WLZ). Our care advisor will assist you free of charge with the application and arranging assessments.
3- WOZO: Housing, Care and Support
The government's "Housing, Care and Support" (WOZO) policy encourages people to live at home longer. Our care aligns seamlessly with this.
Experiences of Satisfied Clients
At Happyhomecare we value the experiences and feedback of our clients and their families.
When my husband was diagnosed with ALS, we didn't know how long he'd be able to live at home. Thanks to the care provided by Happyhomecare, he was able to remain in his familiar surroundings, with one dedicated caregiver who was truly there for him. It gave us as a family so much peace of mind.
