HoLeChit,
Your dad may well qualify for MedicAid, check here - http://medicaid.gov/ for eligibility criteria.
However, as mentioned above IF he is of sound mind and isn't cooperative there isn't much you can do short of a nasty legal fight to have him declared incompetent, a fight that will likely end whatever relationship you have with him.
A very thorough assessment of his needs would also help you in deciding how to go forward. Ex, you say he wears diapers is that due to incontinence or because he cant easily get to the bathroom due to other physical problems? Does he need a nurse, just an attendant, or maybe just a commode somewhere he can easily access? (Don't answer here - those are just examples of how specific you should be in analyzing his situation).
What about part-time going to an adult center? That might leave not totally isolated, he could still sleep at home at night, etc.
I wish you luck and blessings as you work through this issue - it isn't easy but it also isn't hopeless, I speak from personal knowledge, so do not despair.
