Kim, the 24 hr nurse will bankrupt you unless you are Bill Gates. My mom had one for a month after her stroke. She now has CG 3 hrs, 3 days a week. Also, to go into one of these chambers of horrors will take ALL your $ as well as your dignity. I'm currently looking into Riverside's "Shared Housing" for myself as I have no CG/ This could work with luck, but it's a long shot.
