Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
What if pests or mold are found?
The crew cleans up the mess they leave behind, such as droppings, debris and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed.
Will the resident's belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside documents, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the resident can name anything that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Who pays for squalor cleanup?
Most often the resident, owner or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities, and a local aging service or community group may know what exists.
