I have actually been in a similar situation. My wife often goes to visit her mother and I'm home solo. On a regular basis I have at least two attendants; one primary a a secondary. My primary attendant comes every morning and evening 5 days a week. My secondary is trained and covers weekends. Other than that, I've met with my local fire department and police station to let them know my situation. (Make certain you speak with the Chief or Sergeant) In the past I've had other Quad friends and could tap into their supports as well. In our situation we have to be proactive in covering care. I see it as part of my "prepping" for emergencies.
In addition ask your Dr's nurses if they would be willing to be trained on the side as an emergency attendant. I've had this option a few times.
