It is possible to have a mortgage in a different name than a "deed" to a home. You will not be forced to sell the home if you transfer your fathers name from the deed to yours. You may do this at your local recording office and/or also, you may contact a local title company (they can help you). Also, I would send a letter to the lender holding the mortgage...asking to give you rights to speak on your fathers behalf. Please keep in mind that you father will have to sign off on all of the above.
