You can get adult-sized disposal bags, if your father is able to he can put his used pad in one of those when he changes, tie it up, and put it in the trash.
If the odour is so strong it's still a problem when the used pads are securely tied up, you want to get his urine tested.
There also handy charts (Google "healthy wee is 1-2-3" for an example) which show what colour urine should be - perhaps you could stick one on the bathroom wall to alert him to when he needs to take in more fluids. Especially if he's upset or anxious about the issue, he may be misguidedly cutting back on how much he drinks.
Getting him to change as soon as he has urinated will help. Also, folding the depends into a tight bundle (think of how you do with a baby diaper) and getting in into a tightly closed container will be a good start.
Check his clothing, piece by piece. Anything that has been wet will possibly dry with only a small remnant of scent, but once it warms up, or gets wet again, it can be pretty powerful. Some pants may have to be disposed of, if they've gotten wet too many times. Some you might be able to save with soaking in Borax, soda or a combination of detergent and pet odor removal.
Personally, I have tossed a few of mother's favorite pants after ordering new ones in the same color and size.
Wet diapers don't go into the regular trash. Esp when you aren't hauling out 2-3 bags a day.
Doing a good floor cleaning, carpet cleaning--whatever you have down should also help.
Hopefully dad is compliant and competent enough to do the disposal of the wet depends on his own.
Also check any upholstered pieces of furniture and clean those too. IF my mom allows me to clean more than doing her dishes, I open all the windows and air out the place. Any little thing you can do adds up and helps, overall.
DON'T use a multitude of those portable air fresheners. They are bad for an elder's lungs and don't do anything but put out a burst of 'freshness' every 10-30 minutes. Mom had them all over her apartment. The best way to a fresh house is keeping it clean, getting soiled/wet diapers out of there ASAP and cleaning all spots that have been 'baptized'.
