It's been a while since I watched the movie but I never got the impression that her father needed extra caring for. He fell ill towards the middle of the movie but was healthy in the beginning IIRC.

Our introduction to him is an invention backfiring and harming him non life threateningly.

I get the impression that without Belle to mind him, he would be dead from an invention that went too wrong, though it is not explicitly stated.

He falls ill after the townsfolk imprison him without heat in winter. Their excuse for locking him up is "he's crazy" when he tells them of the castle and it's inhabitants.
