Hoarding and Squalor

Hoarded rubbish adversely affects individuals and communities, with hoarders facing a difficult time getting rid of the objects that they have accumulated.

Squalor and hoarding is recognised by Centacare Brisbane as a complicated set of conditions marked by an obsessive need to accumulate and retain things and can be triggered by loss, poverty, psychiatric illnesses and physical disorders.

For the many Australians currently facing the issue of domestic squalor, the problem leads to social isolation and can be a damage to the property posing a potential fire risk to neighboring properties.

Although most of these items maybe useless, and seem to be garbage, for the hoarders it is difficult to part ways with them. When hoarding takes place, the living space gets inhabitable as time passes, and it is difficult to move, locate doors, or find the distinct rooms in a house.

Clients along with social workers, mental health professionals, professional cleaners, RSPCA, fire brigades join hands to deal with hoarding empathetically and professionally.

Squalor

Squalor jobs are more about an accumulation of filth, rotting food, animal and human waste, soiling, and bad odors that are amassed in the house over an extended period of time.

Regardless of whether it is Hoarding or Squalor, it is imperative to address the issue quickly and empathetically. Utmost care must be taken when dealing with these issues, as these could be linked to sophisticated mental health issues.
