I think you have misread some of the first part, or I have written poorly. He is giving the reasons why he is making this somewhat strange request, and that is none of the usual suspects to fill the role are alive. So he is offering a bargain to this person, that if they will allow him to die in his "house" and be there with him as it happens, he will leave everything he has to them. Without someone to do this for him, the powers that be will come and take him to the hospital. He does not want that, he wants to die where he feels comfortable, where he is around familiar things. so, in the metaphorical sense, the person, is fulling the part of being his home. I have seen a number of older people protest to being removed from their homes when they are dying. They know they are dying, and they accept that, and even welcome it, what they do not want is to be removed from what is familiar.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
