I'm not old myself, but plenty of people are. The older someone gets the worse mental and health conditions tend to become.
The place where I used to live, there was an older man who used to come by the front of the house every morning or so and feed the cats if they were there. They walked a dog sometimes and I thought it was adorable. There was an older woman who had let herself into the front garden and was perusing the ornaments. I'd heard her somehow from the bedroom and went outside because I thought I heard a knock at the door (I had a doorbell), apparently she had just lost her husband so I ignored the odd situation and when she asked if she could have some of the stone ornaments and plastic flowers from the front of the house to make a memorial, I said she was welcome to them. It must suck to lose your partner after so long, it sucks to me losing someone after just relatively short times.
Older people seem nice in general, although it could also be because I've had too many negative experiences with people when younger that makes the difference more stark.
