Dear lybrate-user, I'm sorry to hear about your father's condition. He seems to have suffered a stroke which often causes swallow impairment. It's advisable to have a swallow assessment by a speech-language pathologist who can analyze the extent of the problem and recommend appropriate diet for him. Please enquire around as you may be able to have them come to your house to assess your father. If you give him something without a formal assessment by a speech-language pathologist then he is at high risk of aspiration (I.e. Food going into the lungs) and develop pneumonia.
