Speak calmly, start with safety and ask what they want to keep. Avoid blame and surprises, and agree on a small first step. Many people feel more at ease once they know who will be in the home and what will happen.
The main risks are fire, falls, pests, mold and trouble getting help. Blocked exits slow escape and slow firefighters and paramedics. A cleanup lowers these risks in order, starting with exits and fire hazards.
Hoarding is often described in levels, and level one is the lightest. Clutter is present but exits and pathways are open, utilities work and rooms can still be used. Higher levels bring blocked rooms, sanitation problems and safety hazards.
A crew with enough people and a clear plan, working room by room. Going fast without the resident's agreement often backfires, though, and the home can fill again. Clearing exits and hazards first is the quickest way to make a real safety difference.
Yes. The resident decides what stays, what is donated and what is removed. Valuables, documents, photos and medicine are set aside first, and nothing leaves the home without agreement.
