I guess  the first thing is to get him approved for Medicaid coverage and perhaps you should look into getting a disability lawyer to help push along his case.  I am not sure what the fee for this service would be.  Also contact the Department of Social Services to see if there is any way to get a Social Worker for your Dad as he is basically homeless if not in your home, and it is obvious that his needs are way beyond the capacity of you and your family to care for him now.  Also find out about the Elderly and Disabled Waiver so that once he is approved for Medicaid until another placement for long-term care is found,  you could get daily help in up to I believe 20 hours a week to help with his self-care etc.  Also it would at least help pay for respite if you could find a worker at the rates offered in your home to give you time to be with your family.  You need to keep pushing the system to get him approved and stay strong that he needs to be out of your home.  There is a reason your brothers etc. are not getting involved,
