Your father walking difficulty, better hire a private driver, the driver can drive you from point A to B to C....
Places to go with hire driver for day trip:
Juifen and shifen area
Miaoli
Yilan and jiaoxi (hotspring)

Places in Taipei can take mrt to save cost. Not all mrt exit got lift or escalator, but there should have at least 1 lift in mrt station. e.g ximen station exit 2 only stairs, exit 6(if I rmb correct) have lift and some part have escalator.

These 3 places are close by. Yeliu is worth it, queen head is getting destroy by weather, so sooner you go the better.
End of the day can go night market at Taipei.

Yehliu not so good if u walk got problem.
So go shifen, jiufen, houtong, pingxi and nanya rocks.
If got extra time, end at keelung night market.
Can take bus or train back to taipei main station.

if have time, can go jinguangshi, just some mine place , turned into attraction now
10min drive from jiufen only ...

shifen waterfall don't need to pay entrance fee, it's free.

@King, if you explore further, actually jiufen still have some attractions not fully explore, I mean the nature and culture.
