Hoarding has been getting a lot of attention lately, but it is still relatively misunderstood. Sometimes associated with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), loved ones and family members in the Cleveland area now have another ally when they discover they need hoarder help.
Scene Care, Inc. is a fully insured and licensed emergency cleaning company specializing in trauma, death, and blood and hoarder cleanup. They have been operating nationwide in the emergency cleaning service industry, and have recently expanded its operations into the Cleveland area.
Scene Care has been in business since 2005, and since then they have been awarded a 5 Star rating for ‘Superior Service’. A spokesman for the company says, “We are happy to be expanding our services. We feel like we are providing a great service to the communities we work in.”
Cleaning up in the wake of a serious hoarder can pose potential dangers for those not properly equipped, and without specialized training in every aspect of scene cleanup, mistakes can be costly, and even cause further damage. The possibility of continued contamination is very real when a do-it-yourselfer has attempted to clean the scene without the proper training. It is recommended that when dealing with human remains that a professional be consulted.
A Scene Care spokesman claims, “We are sent through an intense training routine that teaches us how to handle any type of scene we might encounter. Hoarding cleanup has its own challenges, as do murder scenes, suicide cleanup, and when someone has died without anyone knowing for sometime.”
The unique challenges faced at a hoarder cleanup scene require that the individual not only have been removed from the area, but also that the required treatment is available to handle the emotional trauma they are likely to feel once their possessions have been removed.
It is a sensitive area that is still being investigated by mental health experts, but there are certain procedures that have been developed to help transition the hoarder into a more stable environment that is conducive to recovery.
