Attendant Care.... Should I hire someone?

I have been examining the tax forms and have stumbled upon a 'attendant care Expense' info. Could I hire someone to assist in his day to day care? To bath him every day and give him more personal care and time? Someone that can give him ROM exercises every day?? or at least more than he's getting now?? Am I still trying to fix something that can't be fixed?? our health system doesn't support caring for a family member at home yet doesn't have enough staff to give Tony the attention that he needs because he is unable to move or talk..... I am going to do some research and find out... 1. Will the hospital allow someone to come in and care for him? ( they wouldn't let me do anything when he first got there and were a little territorial) 2. How much will that cost and what could we afford. And can I hire anyone???? 3. Will Tony accept that? the biggest question of them all....
