Staying with a family member while they recover from surgery. What can I do to make this visit useful?

I'm (35F) currently staying with a family member (73M). They had a few surgeries over the last few months so I'm helping them recover.

They sleep a lot so there's not much for me to do. They seem to be managing their daily care, and the basic needs of the home, but it is more cluttered and messy then normal. I would like to clean the house, but there are just piles of stuff around that I have no idea where they would go. I don't want to be a nuisance.

Any ideas on what I can do that wouldn't be annoying, but would be helpful?

​

TL;DR: grandpa had surgery and I'm staying with him during his recovery. What can I do to help him without being annoying?
