If his walking ability has diminished to the point that it appears he'll need a wheelchair indefinitely, make sure the wheelchair has removable arms and leg rests. The removable arms are important because if he reaches a point of not being able to stand safely to transfer, you can buy or make a slide board which can be used for him to "scooch" over from the wheelchair onto another seat, or perhaps even a bed (depending on its height).
