hello

my husband is a c5-c6 quad and we are in need of a caregiver for him. I just started back to work, and already had a caregiver quit on me today. We live in hammond, Indiana. Is there a website I can go to to find someone qualified to take care of him.

Please help

Have you tried your local home health care agencies and inquired about private duty nurses? That's the only thing that I would know to do. I don't know if that helps or not...

Some are able to feel it...
Some are able to experience it...
But for some, they are only able to dream of it.
