By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. 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.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Just curious as to why the landlords will not let him come back? Can they really do that? Guess it depends on if you'd be breaking any terms of your lease.
Take some deep breaths. Try to calm down. It's not easy, but you will figure this out and get it resolved.
They are desperate to get him out. They cannot do an unsafe discharge and will lose their license it they do. So that it the exact words to use "My father needs placement; he can't live with me and I am not his POA or guardian; if you do an UNSAFE DISCHARGE I will report you for it and your facility will lose its license.
I am HOPING that your father qualifies for placement, because if there is no diagnosis of dementia or inability to care for himself then his next home MAY be discharge to a shelter. I am so sorry. Be sure he is being diagnosed for dementia. The hospital may get him rehab placement, but that will be temporary.
If you cannot take care of your father and he NEEDS 24/7 care be certain not to take on POA or guardianship. That will make you responsible. Tell the Social Worker he needs guardianship by the state. Tell them he cannot live with you as he was couch-surfing and the landlord will not let him back in.
As to rude? Come up with a few very choice swear word options so he will understand what rude is. He cannot deposit your father on your doorstep or they WILL most certainly lose their license.
Tell them you know all about JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation) and how to report them (whether you do or not) and then look up JCAHO phone number and how to report this hospital should you need to.
This could be a blessing in disguise, really. IF he can’t live alone you can have him sent directly from the hospital to the nursing home where he belongs.
Keep saying "No", document your conversations, hold your ground as he will not be safe if he is returned to his former residence, Unsafe Discharge!
Homeless Shelter is a new con, ignore, keep your boundaries in place.
If your father has no safe home to return to -it is THEIR JOB to assist you in finding an alternate option.
