Im sorry to hear about your dad.
Im assuming that he is now in hospital. They will be able to assess him and he is unlikely to be discharged any time soon. Your mum is being looked after in a care home, so will be safe.
I think you will just have to sit tight and see what happens.

What a hard time for you and your family, @jelba. Sorry, at this stage I can't offer any help or advice. Your mum is safe in her care home, as canary says, and I hope that will lessen some of the strain over coming days.
Will your employer give you a few days off to sort things out and visit your dad in hospital during the day when you can get a clearer picture from the nurses, physios and doctors?
Keep us informed if you can, and best wishes to you all.

Been mentally assessed not fit to come home going in to temporary care for 7 weeks rehab now I got both parents in care home because they can't determine time of stroke and got a pacemaker so can't have a mri scan don't know what to do next who do I contact to let them know what's happened do I leave work never felt so lonely before
Seven weeks rehab should hopefully give you time to speak to your employer and any other agencies you need to help you sort out a longer term plan. Your dad is now being looked after @jelba, for what consolation that is worth.
