Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I donot agree that fish oil is good for immunity and brain function. Its actually its side effect to lower immunity.

If affected by low immunity, then please avoid getting infected by taking precautions like frequent hand washing, cleaner drinking water, etc.

If brain function feels affected then vitamin supplements like Neurobion plus are effective. Other medicines are not very helpful. Yoga and breathing exercises are also helpful.

Seniors are at risk of falling down frequently for many reasons. I will suggest that he uses support while walking especially on stairs. Make your house more safe to avoid injury during any falls.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
