No. You are not responsible to pay for the long term care of your father. If your father cannot pay for his long term care, he should consider applying for Medicaid assistance. An attorney who practices in the field of elder law can assist you and or your father with applying for Medicaid assistance. Astrid de Parry, P.A.

No-you are not responsible for parents debts.
Be sure to get his power of attorney because you might be able to obtain medicaid
benefits for him even if he has assets.
