Since the uncle has no son and daughter he can make anyone liable to maintain him.
He should better be admitted himself in some old age home.
You being a very sensible and considerate neighbour can help to find such home.
Since the uncle has some property , he should find no difficulty to getting a good old age home which has no dearth of in recent times.

Are you expecting the answer as who is legally responsible to take care of your uncle??
It seems if the uncle declares to gift his property who takes care of him in his last days.. there would have been a queue to take care of him.

The property of the person would be inherited by his three sisters after him. They can not be compelled at present to look after him.
He can obtain reverse mortgage loan on his property / share in the propwerty, if he is not having regular income. State Bank of India and some other Banks provide such facility. By this money (received monthly in installments) either he can manage servant or better move to some old age home.
His heirs can take possession of the property after him by paying the loan.

Totally agree with Shri Rajendra k Goyal and Shri.Devajyothi Barman.
Identify a luxury retirement home (as is comfortable to your neighbour) and he can pay the retirement home charges through loan facility availed from Reverse mortgage.
Allmost all nationalised banks and ICICI offer these facilities.
