It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

I'm so sorry for what circumstances have exhausted you. If you can give us a little more information, we can point you toward help, resources or suggest strategies for you to escape out from under this crushing burden. If you give me your general location (state, county) and needs then I can research a lot. You can PM me if you don't wish to post it on this thread.
Please call 988 if you hate it enough to end it. There is help out there.
Your profile says that your elderly father is living in a assisted living facility, so is that what has you hating life so or is it something else? Either way seek professional help to sort through what you're feeling or call 988.
