John,
Ask your Dad's doctor's office for recommendations. They may even be able to get a sample for you.
Several people have recommended thrift stores. Don't go there for your Dad. Things are at thrift stores for a reason, and Dads deserve the best.

Go to you local senior center, they usually have a lot of used medical devices like walkers, left to them by the departed. Usually you can acquire one for free but should consider a small donation to help support their programs.

you can ask his doctor to write an Rx for this and 55% will be covered and try asking his insurance if they cover any percentage of it, also a walker should be measured for him specifically to ensure proper height.and if he is a veteran of the army it can be covered through that as well
good luck

try freecycle.org in your area. Post that you are looking for a walker. You never know somebody might have one to give away. Good luck

Good will or a thrift store. It also might be covered by many medical insurances, ask your dads doctor for help if you don't know what is covered. good luck to you.

If he has Medicare or Medicaid--ask his doctor for a prescription and they will get you one for free. If not, maybe ask the doctor for a recommendation.(or the doctor's nurse or office girl) of a local place or government agency.
