Parkinson with acute rigidity

My father is having Parkinson's without tremors for the last 10 years. Initially it was loss of focus and then it increased gradually. He is on Syndopa for the last 10 years.

Worsening symptoms

He is 79 and now he is completely unable to stand up, move in bed and while moving to washroom with extreme difficulty and pain in his legs, he freezes at one place and loses balance and his legs tremble making him fall down. He has a curved posture with pain in neck and bladder problems. Sometimes he complains of seeing objects like rats and sometimes people disturbing him in the night.

We consulted all doctors in India, but everybody relies on Syndopa. Is their any medicine which will give him relief for his freezing and mobility and lack of motor movement?
