How do I get paid to take care of my husband with a broken back and broken neck?

April, the vast majority of family caregivers do not get paid for caring for a love one.... unless that love one can pay you out of their own pocket

You can also check with Medicaid [which is different from Medicare] where if your State has such a program to pay a family member for being a caregiver. Please note, the pay will be quite minimal. And each State has their own rules, regulations, and programs.

Will your husband be going into Rehab? Or has he already been there? Usually physical therapy will start once all the bones have healed, and it is not damaging to the person.
