There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.
A lightly crowded room may take a day, while a whole home with heavy buildup can take several days to a few weeks. The resident's pace, pests, mold and repairs all change the timeline. The team can estimate after seeing the home.
Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.
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.
