Questions Residents and Relatives in Melville, RI Ask About Hoarding Cleanup
What mental illness do most hoarders have?
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.
What does a level one hoarder house look like?
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.
Will the resident get to keep their belongings?
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.
What is hoarding cleanup?
Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.
Can a team clean after the resident has moved or passed away?
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.
Is hoarding cleanup different from a regular house cleaning?
Yes. A regular cleaning assumes surfaces are reachable and the items stay. Hoarding cleanup includes sorting, hauling, hazard checks, protective gear and disposal, and then a deeper clean of kitchens, bathrooms and floors.
