As for care, did you have any insurance when you took that fall? Was it due to someone's negligence? If so, perhaps the insurance would pay for an inhome caregiver. That would probably be cheaper than rehab and a nursing home for your wife. My cousin pays $6000 per month for her husband's nursing home. I pay $1500 per month for my live in - part time (3 - 4 days a week) help. Mother's caregiver just found out that her friend is getting paid $2500 per month for 7 day a week round the clock care for a mentally disabled woman. Somewhere out there there's somebody who needs a roof over her/his head who would be happy to come in and help for a reasonable rate.
Are you a veteran? If so, the VA may be the best place to turn to.
BTW, Just Moi, if you have family that helps, you are one in a million. My family doesn't even call to see if we need anything. Occasionally I can get them for pay, but not much.
