Is he a veteran? That would open up a host of resources to him--and probably provide a lot of what you need. Also, if he was a vet, he would have served during a war time and could quality for a non-service connected pension or get classified aid and attendance which would help a lot. there's a VA clinic at the Villages and a major hospital in Gainesville. The injury does not have to be war related. I worked in a VA spinal cord unit once and most of the people there were injured from accidents not during combat.
I'm not living there yet, hope to be soon, but once I'm living there if you still need occasional companions I would help. I have a friend that had a similar thing happen to him. It's heartbreaking.
