All hospice agencies offer in-home help from them, but you must know that that just means a nurse coming once a week to start to check your dads vitals and aides to come bathe him twice a we 100% under your dads Medicare. You can call the hospice agency of your choice(just Google hospice in your area)to see if your dad qualifies for their services and they will come out and do an assessment and take it from there. My late husband was under hospice care in our home for the last 22 months of his life and hospice provided about 1% of his care while I did the other 99%. So be prepared.

You can be in agonizing pain from terminal cancer and the body keeps going until it can't go anymore.
Once the body can't keep the main organs and functions that sustain life going he will die.
It could be days, week, or months. God had nothing to do with it.
Though I guess you can blame God for the suffering many endure before taking their last breath since he is the designer and creator of the human body.

For Hospice, though, Dad has to be dying from something. Its comfort care.
