What hoarding cleanup covers:
The team starts with the resident, or the caller if the resident is not available. Goals, worries and deadlines shape the whole plan.
A team member checks exits, stairs, utilities, pests and hazards. Findings are shared in plain words, without labels.
Trash, recycling and donations are separated as the crew works. Larger items are planned for before lifting.
Rooms are cleaned and the team shares ideas for keeping spaces open. Support from a doctor, counselor or local group can be part of that plan.

A short deadline from a landlord, a lender or a city office can change how many people the team sends, and so the price. Mention any date early.

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.
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.
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.
