I bought an Apple Watch for my father. He’s in the early stages of dementia. The watch has cellular capability. The problem is he can’t remember anything I teach him, so the thing has to be bulletproof. Anyway, the main problem I’m running into is, I understand. I have to create an Apple ID for him, but do I really have to sign out of my own device in order to do that?
No you don't need to sign out in the phone.
First create his Apple ID in website https://appleid.apple.com
You may find it easier in a computer or ipad. Don't sign-in, look for the create apple ID link which will appear on the top RH corner in computer or ipad Safari views
Then read the following link, which explains how to set up Apple Watch using Family Setup to your iPhone -->

I may have omitted the stage to set up family sharing between those two processes so that he appears on your list of family members
Set up Family Sharing – Apple Support (UK)
It would need to be a Watch with Cellular plan.
Create Apple ID for Apple Watch only
