What Can Be Done For Dizziness, Balance Problems, And Vision Problems?

My brother in law has had some truly bad issues. It started with his eyes and then dizzy, then falling, then can hardly walk even with a walker he keeps falling. He has bladder problems and now bowel issues. He had eye surgery on both eyes for cadaracts and a stigmatism. He has 20/25 vision now but, his eyes look like a zombie. He just stares. He was a long time drug abuser but, has been clean for about 15 to 20 years. He practically can't use his legs at all and when he falls he can't get himself back up. Its like his brain isn't making a connection. He lives with his 84 year old mother who just got out of nursing home and cannot take care of him. Can you please direct me what to do.
