Interesting project. Wish you loads of luck. Perfect Environment, may not be achievable. Why? Because no two people/quads are alike. Hence the perfect environment for you could be 180 degrees different from me. And who is more important..... (just kidding) Shepherd Hospital, in Atlanta has a good working model program and you should consider your venture with their guidance down there. It may not work as well in Minneapolis with 10 inches of snow, as it does in Atlanta. I'm also sure that Craig Hospital, RIC and Kessler Hospital also have successful working models in their areas. Perfection, cost money. To consolidate the resources, one finds the nursing home answer as the best, lol. I'm hoping to learn from your experiences and hope that you have the time to continue to let us know about your achievable goals and how successful you are.
