Rebecca Gayheart Secures 24/7 Home Care for Eric Dane After Insurance Appeals

Her essay underscores the hurdles families face getting U.S. home-care approvals for progressive illnesses.

Overview

  • Eric Dane revealed an ALS diagnosis in April 2025, a progressive disease that requires intensive long-term support.
  • Rebecca Gayheart has taken charge of coordinating his care and obtained home-care coverage after two appeals following initial denials.
  • The care plan now provides round-the-clock support in Los Angeles, organized across 21 shifts.
  • Staffing gaps persist, leading Gayheart to cover some hours herself while friends have also stepped in, including during a recent 12-hour vacancy.
  • Separate outlets report he is expected to appear in the upcoming third season of Euphoria, a development not independently confirmed in the coverage.
