HELP -- Looking for a Home Health Care Aid

My MIL is really bad and its time my FIL gets a Home Health Care Aid. She needs a FT person or live in nurses aid to help her out. My MIL is a big woman about 300 lbs, so I need someone who will be able to lift her up.

Does anyone know of an person, agency or company they can recommend.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is she really, really bad? When my aunt was dying of cancer we worked with Hospice, who set us up with an agency and the necessary equipment rentals. She may need equipment for the shower and bathroom. She was in Queens but had great women working with her.

She has MS and can not do the simple things anymore. Yesterday, she fell on the floor and and was stuck by herself for 3 hours.

She needs someone 24/7 to watch over her, keep her company and such.
