I'm with vegaslady, just ignore him and get on with doing what needs to be done for your mom.
You don't give us much to go on as to why you're having to care for your parents, but I can only guess that if your dad is "immature," that he has probably been all his life, so his behavior should come as no surprise to you.
Without any more information on exactly what the situation is, I really can't comment further.

Ignore him, call their doctors to report the problems and ask for a social worker to help navigate the mess.

I know this is very hard. My cousin had to deal with something similar with her parents. Mom had Parkinson’s and dad was slipping into dementia and had narcissistic symptoms. Mom was wandering and had gotten lost a couple of times. Cousin had to deal with it as her dad had POA for mom and she was afraid he would forbid her to care for her mom.
She had cameras in place so she could check on them when she had to run errands. When he left home with her mom in the car was the worst. When he was off by himself her mom would ask for him repeatedly. Finally her dad had a stroke, lost partial vision, could no longer drive. It was tough but he did settle down and became the dad she loved once again. Now her mom has passed and she is caring for her dad.
The one thing you can count on is change. Decline is inevitable. It’s hard for your dad, your mom and you as you find your way. This has all taken a terrific toll on my cousin. She is divorced and estranged from her only child largely because she was so focused on her moms care. She has no regrets but she is not well.
Please strive for balance.
