Don't know what state you are in, but it seems states are moving toward paying for care at home rather than in nursing homes, too. Medicare will pay for hospice care at home as well.

My dad was similar to yours, always doing, until he couldn't. If it means anything, I applaud you for trying to keep your dad at home.
