Head of Household but will not claim my qualifying dependent (parent)

I met all the requirements as head of household with my father as my qualifying dependent. Can I file as HoH without claiming him as dependent? This is for future stimulus purposes. I want him to receive stimulus, not as my dependent.

 

I can see there's a section where the qualifying person should be entered without claiming, but it's kinda specific for a child. 

 

"If you checked the HOH or QW box, enter the child’s name if the qualifying person is a child but not your dependent."

 

Any thoughts/inputs? Thank you so much!
