trying to find nurse for my visiting paraplegic cousin

Published

I need help looking for help for a few days next weekend to help care for my paraplegic cousin who lost her leg and is paralyzed mid waist down I believe next weekend. She lost her leg and got in this condition as she got hit by car by a lady texting and driving. She is only in her 40s. Her Dad just died this week and the funeral Wilma be in Syracuse NY so he can be buried next to his wife. She is going to travel direct flight with her brother and her daughter. Stay at an assessable place and get a nurse to help care clean etc for s few days Fri through Sunday. She wants to have closure and maintain her dignity around the fAmiy

looking to give them numbers of anyone in the area they could call to help. It will likely be next Friday even and Sat. I'm a NP and have not done hospital clinical for a few years. Any suggestions for calling anyone. ?

Thank you soo much.

Call some nursing agencies in the area that have CNAs on staff or look through the adds in that area.
