See if he would agree to seeing a natural health practitioner. Conventional doctors will just continue pushing drugs and treating symptoms not the underlying conditions. Good luck. Sorry.
You can't make him do anything. Prepare yourself for his death and then let the chips fall where they will. You say he's not a suicide risk but he's committing slow suicide now. Let him. It's his decision.
Quit trying to save him from himself and let him make his choices and live or not live with their consequences. You and mom need to take care of yourselves first.
That's how I see it. See an elder care attorney to protect you and your mom from claims of elder abuse. Then leave him alone. If he wants out, let him go down that path. He's had a good run at age 76.
Why not try CBD oil (cannabidiol)? It's made from industrial hemp that has no more than 0.3% THC (no high), so even DEA approves. Just type in browser CBD for sale. It has a 0% death rate and treats maybe 200 conditions. There's a great many sellers, millions use it.
P.S. He's got major depression. Cancer qualifies for the Nevada Medical Cannabis Program, too.
Nevada also has semi-legal cannabis, with lower possession limits but no Dr. visit needed. It is sold in dispensaries that advertise online. Most provide expert advice.
The oil works better than smoking it, though many smoke it to treat depression and say it saved their life. Smoked form treats about 65 conditions and oil form treats a few hundred conditions. If he can inhale OK, vaporizing the oil may be best, effect is almost immediate. If vaporized, it is heated to a point below combustion, no smoke just steam, improves percent absorbed. If swallowed, effect might take an hour or more. Best wishes.
I agree. But how does his family deal with him? Any ideas?
It is pretty sad, but I would say the group consensus is y'all step aside and let him go to ell in his own way. The only new idea is buy him a supply of dope and let him die a happy man.
Explain to them you nor your fathers ex-wife are able to care for him any longer and he needs to go into long term care........ Remember if he ends up at hospital, the hospital cant discharge (neither can a rehab/nursing home) him with out a place to discharge/release him to if he can't care for himself. They will be forced to care for him until they find a place to discharge him to, probably a place that accepts medicaid for reimbursement since it sounds like he has little or no assets. Do not allow them to discharged him to your or your mom's care since she no longer can physically or mentally take care of her ex-husband.
You just need to get tough and dig in your heels and no longer offer those services to him, you just can't do it anymore.
They will not roll him out the door to the street in his wheelchair and leave him there, it's illegal for them to do so.

Although I agree that a whole plant CBD oil would certainly help, a good dose of THC might motivate him to get off his butt & might even get him into a shower. (6 months between tubs? Ugh)
From what I've read, a reasonable ratio of THC to CBD is needed to treat severe depression.
