Dream on. You need someone trained to care for quadriplegic as lifting, diaper changing, bathing, etc., Is involved. This is hard work and household duties are not a part of their job. I have a friend whose husband had a stroke and is paralyzed. She has a 24-hour trained, live-in, male nurse through an agency.

There's no need to be mean to the OP. Let's have some compassion for people's struggles.

Because I have taken care of family member similar to OP's situation and I know all the things that can happen. I would not let a child or an adult stay in a wet or soiled diaper for hours.
