iCloud How can I move my parents to my iCloud Family Share?

My elderly parents have had an iCloud family for a number of years. My mom runs it, as my dad has health issues. I'd like to put them both in my family (I wish they had let me years ago).
My dad has an Apple Watch that we use to help keep track of him, so I can't have it get messed up. Any suggestions on the best way?
 
On your phone, go to Settings... tap on your name at the top... tap on Family Sharing (last item in the second section)... tap + Add Member... tap Invite People...and follow the prompts.
 
So, my dad's watch is run through my mom's iPhone, using that newish family watch setup. My dad doesn't have his own iPhone. Will there be any issues bringing them over? Is there an order I should follow so we don't lose data?
Thanks for all of your help.

It didn't do anything wonky when I added my wife and another AppleID (one that I run on a test phone)... everything came across fine, and now we can share apps, iCloud storage and more.
