Sorry to hear about your dad :(
Recovery from stroke is slow. Your whole frame of reference changes, whay would seem insignificant changes to others become huge milestones.
Is he getting therapy? Speech therapists can help with the swallowing. I don't know anything about the foods, sorry.
Encourage him to keep doing his exercises & doing as much for himself as he can & lots of rest - his brain needs time to heal. You may not think so but 4 months is really early in stroke recovery.
Keep loving & supporting him. It will take time but he can improve.
