If Adult Protective Services is not effective, then you may have to consider a conservatorship.
It is a drastic measure and expensive. You would need to prove that your father needs a conservatorship and either your father or your sister (or both) may resist and resent your efforts.

By filing charges with police, Adult Protective Services, and/or by seeking Conservatorship or Guardianship yourself or asking the Public Guardian to do so. If serious about hiring counsel to help you, feel free to contact me.
