Hi Stevominto
Do you know if the palliative care team have been in touch with Mum and Dad? If so then they would be your first point of contact for arranging some additional support.
If not then get in touch with Dad's GP and explain the situation. They should be able to arrange for someone to visit to sort out necessary support for them both.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
