Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.
Yes. A cleanup team can sort, clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family can set rules for photos, papers and keepsakes, and the work moves at the family's pace.
A lightly crowded room with a willing resident can be a do-it-yourself project with gloves, a mask and a helper. Beyond that, hidden hazards, heavy items and the emotional strain make a team the safer choice.
Not always, but it often helps. When the resident is present, sorting goes more smoothly and decisions are respected. If the resident cannot attend, the family or caller can set clear rules about what is kept.
Tell the team about any deadline so the plan can be built around it.
