Question

You are a community service worker planning the service delivery for Maria, a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with hoarding disorder. Maria had been living on her own for a decade now. During this time, she accumulated many trinkets and other possessions. These items badly cluttered her living space. Her son, Bradley, worries about her. On his last visit, he noticed that his mother had started saving rubbish, too. There were cartons of milk past their expiration dates, bottle caps of her favourite beverage and old newspapers. Bradley barely had any space to move. He asked his mother if he could throw away some of the rubbish, but Maria refused. Increasingly worried, Bradley tries to visit three times a week to look out for his mother. Every visit, he tries to convince her to clear the clutter in her home. He is unsuccessful. One time, Maria tripped on the pile of boxes by the stairs. She fell and severely injured her hip. With this incident, Bradley finally decided to put his foot down and told his mother that she needed help to solve this hoarding problem. You are currently in a meeting with the mother and son, working out service delivery goals.
