To attach the new wood to old countertop, I'd either use more wood and screw it together or find metal plates and screw that to join it together.
Looks like your dad could use a fresh bead of caulk where the counter and tile meet.

Nice. Yeah that doesn't sound bad at all. I wish I was over there to just do it. I guess the issue is my dad's in his mid eighties now and doesn't have the tools even if he had the ability.
Does this mean he should probably be looking for a handyman? What helps is that he says there's actually a bathroom sink that had the same issue at their house. So at least it's 2x of these to do.
