The elderly don't particularly like people coming in and moving things around. Often times they have trouble seeing and remembering things, so they have habits that are hard to break. They usually have their own system of doing things and put things where they are most likely to remember. One of the most important things is to keep potentially dangerous objects out of their pathway, they trip and fall as a result and healing after a fall is a slow and painful process. There are websites and stores that sell household items and gadgets specifically designed for the elderly.

Wow, I really want to help, but I'm kinda stumped. If I were in your situation, I would probably call the closest nursing home or hospital and see if they know of someone or an organization that deals with that type of thing.
Good Luck!
