Can I claim my disabled father as a dependent?

I have full PoA over my disabled father. I handle all his doctor appointments including driving him to and from. I handle all of his finances, pay for all his medical care that Medicare doesn't cover. I pay for anything his SSDI income does not cover. He lives in his own home but I am a full time care giver. Am I able to claim him as a dependent or write off any of the costs on my taxes? I average around 1000 miles a year and at least $4-6k in expenses.
