The only thing separating Kelley Miller from living in a nursing home is a registered nurse and aide caring for her around-the-clock inside the 54-year-old quadriplegic woman s home in the mid-Michigan village of Mulliken.
Paralyzed from the neck down in a 2011 car accident, Miller relies on a ventilator to help her breathe and the caregivers to bathe, clothe and move her between chairs.
Sometimes the ventilator tubing comes unhooked when Miller s caregivers transfer her between a chair, her bed or the shower.
