The best you can do is to improve environment around him that is ask him to use footwear with grip, use a walking stick, ligthing is another factor and atleast at home make sure that the floor(wash room and bath room)is not slippery, carptet’s are not in the way.
Diet wise, ask doctor for the supplements, give him plenty of milk(but remove the fat).If you need further info i can send you more precautions.
Hope that helps.
