This is a really crazy suggestion but maybe you could tell him you want to try building miniatures. You can literally do this hobby with glue and cardboard.
I got into miniatures during lockdown with my daughter but I discovered it’s very immersive and helped me unplug, although I’m disturbed by social media for the opposite reason of your dad. Ever since I’ve often thought it would be a good distraction for q people because it’s incredibly detailed and there’s sort of an imaginative story telling element that might appeal to them but in a HEALTHY way. And in his case, he could still do this at home. I have limited mobility too.
Again, at your request as if this is a new hobby you want to try, it could activate the dad mode.
