I am not sure on this but I believe that if you contact a home health agency they have people that can come in and do some cleaning and assist you if you need anything. Talk to your case worker and see what you need to qualify for a program like this. My husband is a C4-5 and he had an agency that would come in get him up, bathe him, prepare meals and do some light cleaning. They also came back and put him in bed at night. This company billed his insurance.

I have been trying to get the same thing but it is pay for yourself as far as I am told and I made a mess load of calls. I suppose it depends on level and if you have 2 grand in the bank. I was told, at least in my state, if you have 2 grand in the bank you are not eligible for that kind of stuff.

If you find a way let me know. I am going to check out those links now and maybe I can get help that way.

I do know this lady who is a complete quad and doesn't use an agency. She does craigs list and her own interviews but that is scary to me. I believe she has a whole bunch on rotation in case one can't come which would be a huge issue for a complete quad.

Ok just checked out both the link...do you think they will drive to AZ lol.
I know I will always have a seat:)
