Long Term Tenant question

Hi everyone, 

I inherited a tenant who has lived in the property for 26 years. He is a good tenant and pays on time. He is in his 70's and has recently been having some medical issues. Twice the ambulance had to be called because he was disoriented and couldn't remember where he was. First time he thought someone broke into his house, but it was just him being disoriented and knocking things over and the second time he walked into the neighbors house and was stumbling around. Each time he has had to stay in the hospital for about 3-4 days. He doesnt have any family that he is close to. We are thinking ahead and wondering what happens, if he has to longer stay in the hospital and cant pay his rent or if he can no longer live on his own... Do we evict? We obviously dont want to evict him because he has medical issues, but we also cannot afford to let him live there for free. We are just thinking about the future, so far he pays on time!
