You say that your Dad has Parkinson’s disease. I have several acquaintances with Parkinson’s and the progress of the disease is very different for each individual.
I would be very uncomfortable asking my Parkinsons’ stricken dad to help move heavy furniture up four sets of stairs, especially since I imagine the futon would not be the only piece of luggage he would be helping lug up. And this is only this year!

A bed pillow, a few more pillows (handy if friends crash, too) an inflatable air mattress, that would be my suggestion. also, while you may have seen the layout, empty spaces always look larger than in reality. Things like outlets, doorways, windows, need to be taken into account. Space for navigating around furniture, ditto. I would not assume that there will be that much space for a futon.
