Conditions We Serve

Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, coordination, balance, and muscle control. Symptoms often develop gradually and may include:

As physical limitations increase over time, many individuals begin needing more help with mobility, medication schedules, personal care routines, and everyday activities around the home.

Family caregivers often take on a larger role in helping loved ones maintain safe and consistent daily routines while adapting to changing care needs. Through the SD-CFC/PAS program, eligible caregivers may receive funding for providing this support, helping families make long-term in-home care more manageable.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition targeting the central nervous system and can cause symptoms such as:

Since its symptoms can fluctuate unpredictably, caregiving needs may also change from day to day. During flare-ups, individuals may require additional help with mobility, household routines, and other daily activities.

In-home support through the SD-CFC/PAS program may help families better manage changing care needs while also providing financial support for eligible caregivers assisting loved ones at home.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of chronic lung diseases that can make breathing increasingly difficult over time. Often linked to long-term exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, COPD may cause symptoms including:

As the condition progresses, even routine daily activities like dressing, preparing meals, or moving throughout the home can become physically exhausting.

Family caregivers often help loved ones conserve energy, maintain safer routines, and manage the physical limitations caused by reduced lung function. The SD-CFC/PAS program allows caregivers to be funded so they can offer valuable assistance with these activities, helping your loved one maintain their quality of life.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) results from a gradual loss of kidney function, often due to diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Chronic Kidney Disease often requires: 

Many families find themselves coordinating medications, meals, transportation, and ongoing care routines as the condition progresses. Balancing these responsibilities alongside work and household obligations can become increasingly difficult over time.

Through the SD-CFC/PAS program, eligible caregivers may receive financial support for assisting loved ones at home.

Cancer and cancer treatments can create significant physical and emotional challenges for both patients and their families. Fatigue, pain, reduced strength, and treatment side effects often make everyday activities more difficult during treatment, recovery, and ongoing care.

Cancer care typically involves a multidisciplinary approach that combines medical treatment with support for the patient’s overall well-being and quality of life. Families often take on additional responsibilities related to:

For many individuals, remaining at home during treatment provides greater comfort, familiarity, and emotional support from loved ones. Through the SD-CFC/PAS program, eligible caregivers may receive funding for providing in-home support, helping families focus more on recovery and day-to-day care at home.

Many disabilities and age-related limitations can make independent living difficult. The SD-CFC/PAS program can offer financial assistance for caregivers to help with:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect communication, social interaction, behavior, and daily routines differently for every individual. Some individuals may require ongoing support related to:

Since support needs vary significantly, care planning is individualized based on the person’s specific routines, challenges, and level of independence. We help families access support to better manage daily support needs of their loved ones while allowing them to remain in a familiar and supportive home environment.

Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects areas of the brain responsible for memory, thinking, communication, and daily functioning. Over time, cognitive decline can make routine activities and independent living increasingly difficult.

Common challenges may include:

As symptoms progress, many families take on increasing caregiving responsibilities related to supervision, daily routines, meals, medication reminders, and emotional support.

While treatment may help manage symptoms and support quality of life, many individuals eventually require ongoing assistance to remain safe and comfortable at home.

Through the SD-CFC/PAS program, eligible caregivers may receive funding for providing in-home support, helping families manage long-term caregiving responsibilities while allowing loved ones to remain in familiar surroundings for as long as possible.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) encompasses permanent movement disorders emerging in early childhood due to brain damage occurring before, during, or after birth. 

Symptoms and support needs can vary significantly from person to person.  Common challenges may include:

The level of support needed varies depending on the severity of physical limitations and daily care requirements.

For many families, caregiving involves helping with mobility, personal care routines, communication support, transportation, and long-term coordination of daily activities.

In-home care funded through SD-CFC/PAS can support your loved one's life at home and avoid institutionalized care, improving their quality of life.

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to weaken over time, increasing the risk of fractures and fall-related injuries. It is most common among older adults and postmenopausal women due to age-related bone density loss.

Because symptoms often go unnoticed until a fracture occurs, many families become more aware of caregiving needs after changes in mobility, balance, or physical strength begin affecting daily routines.

Common concerns may include:

While osteoporosis may not always require constant care, additional support with mobility, household activities, errands, and daily routines can help reduce injury risks and improve safety at home.

An SD-CFC/PAS-funded caregiver from the family can assist with mobility, housekeeping, and errands, helping to prevent falls and keep your loved one safe at home.

Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals living with terminal illnesses. Caring for a loved one during the final stages of life can be emotionally and physically overwhelming for families. 

While hospice providers focus on pain management and comfort-focused medical care, families often still need additional help with everyday caregiving responsibilities. This may include support with:

For many families, remaining at home allows loved ones to spend their final days in a familiar environment surrounded by family, routines, and personal comfort.

Through the SD-CFC/PAS program, eligible caregivers may receive funding for providing this in-home support, helping families care for loved ones at home without taking on additional financial strain during an already difficult time.

In-home support may help families:

With Medicaid-funded support programs such as SD-CFC/PAS, many families are able to access in-home care assistance while continuing to care for loved ones in the comfort of their home.

At Alpenglow Homecare of Montana, our approach focuses on individualized care coordination and ongoing family support tailored to each family’s unique caregiving situation.
