Retire Vs Retirement

Question

I am confused between the two:

My father is due to retire/retirement in a few months and is restless.

According to my understanding, retire sounds more appropriate. But I am not sure. Could anyone explain the correct form.

Retire is indeed correct. Retirement is a noun. An alternate way to express this (and use the word "retirement") would be: My father's retirement will be in a few months; he is becoming restless. Yet another alternate way to change the tense of the verb "retire": My father is restless, he is retiring in a few months.
Question is incomplete. Please edit to show your research effort.

The common usage is:

My father is due to retire...

However, it is not incorrect to use:

My father is due for retirement...
