I am in the same situation, we got social services involved to provide support for dad at home, you can contact them via the local authority, or the Gp could access help for your dad. I have every sympathy x

I am going to get in touch with alzeimer society where I live to see if they can offer any help for him. I am really worried for him as can see his health suffering to . he is so tired and tries his best .

Hello ann

Has your father has a community care assessment? You can find out more about it here.

It really sounds as if you both need some help.
