Yes, if Frank has been housetrained in the past and does not normally have accidents, this would strongly suggest a medical problem of some kind. A urinary tract infection, bladder stones, or a systemic illness like Cushing's disease or diabetes would also be common causes of peeing in inappropriate places in an older dog like this. I would recommend taking Frank to the vet for an exam as soon as you are able to - he/she can do a urinalysis and general blood work if needed to help determine the problem and get him started on appropriate medication to treat it.
