Attorneys who handle Elder Law matters normally are involved with Guardianships. You should be able to get a copy of the court file to see exactly what happened.
As JessieBelle explains, though, guardianship is not something that one person simply passes on to another like a relay baton. You don't say why your aunt decided to relinquish guardianship, or how it came about that she was in touch with your father during years that you weren't; but there is the impression that you and your father would have a great deal of rebuilding to do before you could even be considered as a potential guardian for him.
Are you close enough to the NH to start visiting him regularly? Be careful not to run before you can walk, as the saying goes.
If you haven't had contact with your dad for years, there may be a lot of information that you aren't aware of. A court may want to know the status of your involvement over that time period. I'd consult with an attorney to see what is involved.
Most people in a Nursing Home are there because they need constant supervision and skilled nursing care. Taking care of them into a private home a home setting is not very feasible for most people. I'd explore the details.
