For my husband, the cause was a slightly enlarged prostate. His doctor recommended the OTC supplement Saw Palmetto. It took several weeks, but it was effective! It is inexpensive and readily available.
Lin, ask your Dad's doctor if Dad can take AZO, which is an over-the-counter pill that helps with constant urges to go to the bathroom. It worked for me last week. Or the doctor can prescribe a med that is stronger that would help.
Otherwise, without the meds, there is no way to correct this situation except to take Dad to the bathroom every hour or every half hour if he has a constant urge.
