If I'm correct, it looks like someone who has taken no precautions with regard to becoming old. My father is the same. He's been living in this huge-ass house with a 57m x 10m garden.
I doubt I and my sister can get him to move to some sort of a senior apartment or something. While he can still live there with the help of some occasional cleaning help once every week to do the big stuff, I can see he's unable to keep up the house.
Nothing has been done since he's pensioned off 20 years ago (after 40 years as a coal miner and construction worker, 77 now), and I can just see the house become worse and worse. If he lives another 10 years or more, it'll just deteriorate further; especially the kitchen.

She's 76 and totally disabled, handicapped and my sister has been her caretaker for 18 years. It's like leaving an 8 year I'd home by themselves. They know just enough not turn on a stove but they still do stupid dangerous things. She can't take more than a few steps and that's with the support of a walker. She can't stand or walk by herself. So why the hockey sticks is she doing stupid crap like trying to mop the floor!?!? This is something she would never do. This is why I say she is mentally ill. Anyone in their right mind wouldn't chance it for such a stupid act. You can mop that floor till the cows come home it's still going to be filthy.
Oh I'll be 40 in November so good guess.
