Hi.
If your father has no symptoms pertaining to deficiency then no supplements are needed.
It would be helpful to get his blood levels of vit b12, vit d and Ca checked before starting any supplement.
Excess of any of these supplements can lead to toxicity and adversely affect his health.
Next Steps
Consult a doctor for clinical examination

For your father, a good age-appropriate multivitamin would be Supradyn Daily, A to Z Gold, or Revital H 50+. Along with this, supplements like Vit D3 (once a week as prescribed), Calcium with Vit D, and B12 (like Neurobion) are often helpful at this age, especially if dietary intake is low. Please get basic blood tests done before starting long-term supplements and consult your doctor for exact doses.
