March 13, 2008, San Francisco, Hoarding & Older Adults

Institute on Aging-Educational programs

March 13, 2008, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

RECOGNIZING AND RESPONDING TO CLUTTER ADDICTION AND COMPULSIVE HOARDING IN OLDER ADULTS
Many older adults acquire excessive amounts of seemingly useless items, then have trouble letting go of them. When does collecting turn into pathological hoarding? What can be done when an older person lives amongst so much stuff that it interferes with activities of daily living and creates a safety hazard? Presenters will discuss phenomenology, risk assessment, use of community resources, planning and executing cleanouts, other alternatives, and the inherent ethical dilemmas.
