Likely this senior has many other symptoms and problems, but it's only the junk piling up that you notice. Is this a new behavior pattern for this person? Where they formerly somewhat neater?
When things start to go askew some of the other important things that get overlooked are diet, health and hygiene issues. So I would consider the hording and piling, as innocuous as it might seem, as a big red flag for someone's mental as well as physical health and I would certainly seek professional help for that person.
These kind of issues are serious in that they point towards managed care of some kind for the senior, something that many senior individuals as well as their families are not willing to face both for social and monetary reasons.
