CAREGIVER SURVEY 2010
In January 2009, the ALS Society of New Brunswick administered a satisfaction survey to its clients living with ALS. With a 40 per cent return rate, this survey was valuable in completing our three-year strategic plan.
This time, we have developed a survey for family member(s) and/or the caregivers of ALS clients. Your responses will ensure that we are meeting the needs of both our clients, as well as family members & caregivers. Your response is appreciated prior to March 1, 2010.
The survey may be filled out and submitted online, saved & emailed to carol@alsnb.ca, or printed and mailed to PO Box 295, Moncton NB E1C 8K9. We thank you for your support and we look forward to improving our services to you.
ABOUT THE ALS SOCIETY OF NB
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease that is characterized by degeneration of a select group of nerve cells and pathways (motor neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. This loss of motor neurons leads to progressive paralysis of the voluntary muscles.
The ALS Society of New Brunswick is a non-profit organization consisting of dedicated volunteers across the province. Our goal is to have a presence in every geographic area in New Brunswick so we can fully support people living with ALS. ALS affects all who come in contact with it, including caregivers, families and our support service providers.
ALSNB strives to support its clients each of these groups by providing information, helping facilitate the creation of support groups, generating awareness, raising funds and helping clients access equipment and work within the health care system.
If you are living with ALS and you are a resident of New Brunswick, please register with the ALS Society of NB so we may help you through this journey.
