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.
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.
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.
