Welcome to Boards
Your dad is going to experience huge changes, and so are you and I hope that you have plenty of support too. I can't offer any advice but there is an Accessibility & Mobility & Disability forum HERE on Boards with a Carers & Caring subforum. You're bound to get good advice and tips in there.
