Oh Fri, that's awful news to get at the age of 23. All I can say is just read up on it a bit and just try to take each day as it comes and help your dad to the extent he needs it, but remember to take time out for yourself. And I know you want to move out sometime, but this doesn't mean you can't. It might just narrow the distance away you might be able to live, and means you would probably visit a few days a week(?) to help with day to day things! And really, that couldn't be that bad, could it? You need to stay in contact with family!
My mom's deathly terrified of getting Alzheimer's... Tell you the truth, I'm also afraid of it, especially since my parents are now 65 and 67.
So yeah... Don't dwell on it, just live your life as best as you can dude <3 Don't stress and all will be well.
