The palliative care doctor advised me to contact a hospice provider for my dad. I selected Vitas hospice. I called for information about the company and they told me to set up a visit with my dad, me and mom. I look forward to planning further and to give me a piece of mind that dad will be taken care of. I will post how it goes.
