This is more common than people think. Hoarding and squalor is very dangerous for the elderly. 1. It increases the falls risk greatly 2. Emergency services can struggle to navigate through the mess in the event of an emergency 3. It is extremely unsanitary which can cause serious health concerns and poor nutrition 4. It is quite possibly a sign of dementia or Alzheimers in our loved ones. Hoarding is often a coping mechanism for someone who has experienced trauma or sadness in their life. Helping those in these situations is extremely important. We can do this by offering them choices, instead of making all the decisions for them. This also helps them maintain a sense of independence and control over their lives. #hoarding #squalor #elderlycare #agedcareaustralia #mentalhealthawareness #supportingseniors #mentalhealthmatters #dementiaawareness #alzheimersawareness #dementia #alzheimers
