Are There Any Agencies That Place Nurses Nationwide?

For a patient that lives outside a metropolitan area, are there any agencies that have nurses that will consider going there on a live-in basis? Some places seem to be "caregiver deserts".

Wow, I've never heard of live-in nurses.  Seems like this would be something done under private-duty or rotating nurses through 12-hour agency staffing.  Not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't come across it

It would definitely be a private duty situation, with an apartment or room attached to the home. The current caregivers are 24/7 from 2 to 5 days a week. They have rooms in the house. It's in a ski resort location in Colorado. The ideal situation would be with a couple who could share duties, with a third caregiver as well to break up shifts. I just don't know where to find such an agency to find people who would be interested. I live in a fairly metropolitan area a thousand miles away so I can't be much help. It's been difficult finding qualified people in a small town.
