Parkinson's Help

Illegal immigrant from Zimbabwe, 87 years old with Parkinsons /dementia needs nursing home, how can we do it? My Dad is almost 88 years old with Parkinsons and dementia. He came over after his wife died on a visitors visa 4 years ago and it soon became apparent that he could not care for himself. We have managed to take care of him so far but now he is beyond home care. He has no money and his farm (7000 acres) was taken by Mugabe. Both his pensions and medical aid from Zimbabwe have been discontinued.
