Maybe get him some small herb garden seed starters for the window? Depending on his capability, maybe some fun mystery solving books?
Here’s an example: Solving Sherlock Holmes: Puzzle Your Way Through the Cases https://www.amazon.com/dp/1577151461/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UDl8Cb70FPM8Y
Oh I'm glad to find this post!
My mother (58) also has early onset Alzheimer's. I've been trying to find games she can play that aren't over complicated or overwhelming, but also not so childish/simple it's insulting or boring.
I considered Qwirkle, but I think all the different shapes would overwhelm her.
I got her this book https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1500664685/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 she said she liked it but it didn't seem like she could follow it.
So far the best entertainment I e found is hidden object books.
There's a nice book called "I am not sick, I don't need help! How to help someone with mental illness accept treatment" that would probably be incredibly helpful in this situation. I know dementia and mental illness are not the same, but the situations have enough in common that it should still be plenty helpful.
https://www.amazon.com/Someone-Mental-Illness-Treatment-Anniversary/dp/0967718937/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?hvadid=74285910506630&hvbmt=bb&hvdev=m&hvqmt=b&keywords=im+not+sick+i+dont+need+help&qid=1573526529&sr=8-2
Sunrise Earth
If you like the nature clip at the end of CBS Sunday Morning, you will love Sunrise Earth. Non verbal, very few people.
Google emergency alert trackers for seniors. You'll find trackers that allow your dad to call an emergency service company with the push of a button and some have fall detection. As well.
Another option is a watch. I got my dad the apple series 4 watch. It's the only one that I know of that has fall detection though rumor is more are coming soon. Can monitor sleep patterns too. He does seem to wear it but it's going to take a lot of practice to get him to wear it while showering like I want him to.
The problem with both of these is that the devices need to be charged so your dad would have to remember to charge them. Also both require a service charge or phone service charge.
I found this too but I'm not sure if the business is good so they won't go belly up or not. Plus it's service charge is quite expensive too. The benefit of this is that you can get a power charger attachment that let's it run for 2 weeks without having to charge battery. So maybe you can be the one that charges the batteries instead of your dad.

We got this for my mom and it’s great! Future Call FC-0613 Picture Care... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797JGC34?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
We got my father-in-law a clock like this: https://www.amazon.com/American-Lifetime-Newest-Version-Clock/dp/B019G79V1Q/
Seems like a rip-off for what it is, but it was worth it. I had been considering using an old android tablet and a clock app/screensaver, but I tested it at home and it would occasionally freeze or the screen would sleep and it would need to be restarted/reset.
Check out the Simple Music Player. It basically just has an on/off and a button for skipping songs. That’s it. The caregiver loads it with MP3s via a flash drive and sets the volume by pressing a hidden button with a pencil. It also resembles an old timey radio. Unfortunately we got it a little too late in my dads disease for him to learn to use it, but I think for some people it would be really useful.

If a smart TV or DVD player YouTube has extended nature videos. Here’s one that’s just 8 hours of a brook. Both Netflix and amazon prime have streaming nature videos. Netflix has some “slowtv” episodes (fishing, trains). Bob Ross might be another option.
You can also find a bunch of dvds on amazonocean views , tropical birds , or aquariums
If you have a food processor or blender your could maybe make the food puréed. Otherwise Hormel makes puréed dishes that can be microwaved. No idea on the taste...
amazon has them for example
Maybe the smells of the house will still insight some nice memories/feelings regardless that her dish looks different from everyone else’s.
Also to add, there’s molded versions of the foods if there’s a “that doesn’t look like beef” factor.
There are usually a lot of “fidget” blanket kind of things on Etsy. Some might be more applicable than others.
If it’s specifically mechanical / electrical then maybe one of these circuit kits with big easy pieces: https://www.amazon.com/Snap-Circuits-SC-300-Electronics-Exploration/dp/B0000683A4
USA? The link should work. The link is for the US store: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3OIUY4 so if it's not working, I've got no idea. It's on the FB page, or I'm happy to send an ePub or PDF.
