When my mother-in-law had a stroke she was a bit younger (in her eighties) but because intervention /therapy was swift, she was able to eventually bounce back and resume almost everything except driving. While every case is different, I think that getting him into rehab asap is going to be the key. Good luck, sending you hugs!
