Probably your father have FTD with parkinsonism
I will also consider possibility of parkinsonism plus syndrome. Whatever may be that case response to treatment is very poor with inevitable progression and yet there us no breakthrough in treatment. Continue same treatment give good supportive care. It will be beneficial to consult NIMHANS as it is a very good neurology institute in IndiaHope my advice will help you. Take care.
