Ok given that my father has no assets, has income of $2400 a month, and even if he qualifies for Medicaid it seems unlikely we’d find a place…

What are some viable options?

Start with an elder care attorney. They can put you in touch with the resources and community outreach you need. He may qualify for SNAP, section 8, senior public housing, and a road map for state guardianship. It’s difficult because he has living relatives, so you should seek legal advice. It’s less of a headache to align yourself with the professionals that can navigate the system. Reddit answers will be piecemeal at best.

Good luck
