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.
Avoid calling their belongings trash, saying the home is disgusting or telling them to just throw things out. Never move items without asking. Ask what matters most to them, listen, and offer to help at their pace.
Usually not for the buildup itself, since many policies exclude long-term conditions. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
The price depends on the size of the home, the level of buildup, hazards such as pests or mold, disposal, stairs and the pace chosen. The cleanup team sets a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
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.
Ask about sorting, hauling, cleaning and a pace that fits the resident.
