Maybe have him move in and have a part time nurse?

I think the OP is saying it horribly, but I've seen parents/siblings have completely irrational ideas on what constitutes helping the family out. If the dad needs a 24/7 nurse, most families just cannot provide that.

He won’t move in with us because he wants to stay in his own place. We’ve offered.

That fair.

My wife is over there all the time. My SIL drives 3 hrs and is there every weekend. But 24/7 is a lot and his expectation is that their lives or families should take a back seat to what he wants. It’s fricked up.

it seems to be a recurring theme to where Boomer parents expect their children to completely drop everything to come care for them
Perhaps as 'boomers' did for their parents?
and those parents did for their own parents?
and so forth?
