Can in-home help be found for a bariatric/larger persons?

I need help for a 400 pound spouse who is still able to do many things for self but is disabled. Limitations due to weight, congestive heart failure, copd. This person DOES NOT have diabetes . also, needs some lymphedema management. I have private insurance but unsure how to coordinate these benefits w/a little in home help (as I am 60 years old myself & still work full time)
I need some help at home w/his daily living activities. Shirley

I am hoping he's a veteran and you can call the VA.
All in home help is ordered by his MD and approved/denied by his insurance company. I would start with the MD.

Your best bet is to call your local Council on Aging and see if such help is available.
