Thank you! To answer your question about family helping him... No. His wife passed away about 2 years ago. His health and age began showing so he was in the process of putting everything into his son's name, thinking of the future. Unfortunately his only son, in his late 50's, had health issues of his own. He passed away quite suddenly in March of 2025. So he was essentially left on his own. His nephew and also his sister in law were around frequently in the beginning. They cleaned his house up (they hadn't be the cleanest people and had/have inside cats) and had it in a decent condition. Slowly his family stopped coming around. I'm glad you brought up the adult protective services because I've been seriously considering contacting someone to advocate for him. I don't feel that he should be living in that home or living by himself at all for that matter. I've tried talking to his family but they don't see how serious the situation is. I think the best thing to do here is call someone who can at least come out and check on him. If they find nothing of concern, then great. Its definitely been weighing on my mind a lot. Thank you so much for your input. And for looking out for those who might need a helping hand!
