It may be best to take him to the vet just to have him checked out. Don't assume that everything is just part of the aging process. It may be in his case but it would be good to know if there's something that can be done for him. A blood panel might be helpful in this case. Also, you may want to consider if he's being fed an appropriate food for his age. Also, a supplement such as flaxseed oil may restore some elasticity to his cells and give him a better quality of life. Digestive enzymes can also be beneficial to help him absorb the nutrients in his food. You're very lucky to have such an old guy in basically good shape. Having a vet see him now and doing a thorough checkup would tell you where he's at health wise and may reveal some things that could be treated for a better life for him. Best of luck to you and your little man.
