Hoarder Help Comes to St. Louis

December 23, 2015 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

A new company called Scene Care, Inc. is now operating in the greater St. Louis area focusing on emergency cleanup services, and hoarder help. The company has recently expanded its operation and would like the people of Missouri to know that they are available to serve their needs.

Every year thousands of people across America are left wondering how to go about the unenviable job of cleaning up a home, or apartment after the discovery that a hoarder had been living there. A hoarder, by definition, is someone who compulsively collects items they feel that they cannot live without.

It can be a slippery slope when dealing with this unique disorder, as people who are afflicted by it often do not recognize it as a mental issue. Mental health professionals and civil authorities must be careful not to disregard the rights of the individual to possess whatever they please, and not allow a potentially dangerous situation to continue at the same time.

Hoarders will often have heightened emotional, or illogical attachments to their possessions, and any attempt to separate them from their property could result in extreme upset, and psychological damage, which may make the problem even worse. Hoarding is also associated in many cases to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, with approximately 1 out of 4 cases of OCD sufferers also dealing with some degree of hoarding characteristics. It is not believed by experts, however, that OCD must be present in order for hoarding to occur.

The technicians from Scene Care have been professionally trained to not only handle the physical scene itself, but also to be sensitive to the needs of the individual and their family members.

One specialist says, “We understand that it is not an easy thing for someone suffering from this ailment to confront the loss of so much of their world. Sometimes they feel this is all they have in life that is important, and everyone needs to respect that, while helping them, too.”

Scenecare recently received a 5 star rating for ‘Superior Service’ nationwide, and have been expanding, and delivering their services for over 10 years. When notified of an emergency cleanup job the company arrives at the scene where they discreetly and quietly go about performing their jobs with minimal intrusion into the lives of those involved. When they leave, the home, office, or apartment will have been restored to its previous pristine condition.

Anyone in the St. Louis area wishing to learn more about the services offered by Scene Care are welcome to visit their website at www.scenecare.com/ or call them directly at 1-800-430-1108.
