Can you phone up the ward he was in to ask if they can send someone out to check on him whilst you work Wednesday and Thursday? Just explain to them that your father was in the ward, that he's had suicidal feelings, etc. Maybe they can send a cpn or someone over just to check up?
You shouldn't feel guilty or bad about needing to visit the doctors in the new year, putting too much pressure on yourself by trying to force yourself to be ok will just make you feel worse in the long term.
