The Hoarder Cleanup Process in Shively, KY, Step by Step

1. Talk and set goals

The team starts with the resident, or the caller if the resident is not available. Goals, worries and deadlines shape the whole plan.

Some people prefer short visits, others long days. The plan is set around the resident, not around the clock.

3. Sort, pack and haul

Items go into keep, donate and remove groups. Spoiled food and unsafe items leave first.

Common Questions About Hoarder Cleanup in Shively, KY

Does hoarding qualify as a disability?

Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Whether it counts as a disability for housing or work depends on the situation and the law. A tenant rights group, a housing agency or an attorney can answer for a specific case.

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 happens to the items that are removed?

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.

How do you keep a home from filling up again after cleanup?

Small habits, such as one clear surface a week, help. Ongoing support from a doctor, counselor or local group can make progress last. The team can talk through simple upkeep ideas at the end of the job.

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.

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.
