The Challenge: Our client was refusing to allow anyone to come in to clean her basement and remove clutter because she was afraid they would take away the treasured keepsakes of her life.

The Solution: Clutter Free Yourself team members removed 36 large trash bags of clutter as they deep cleaned the house. They boxed and stored all of the mementos but kept several special ones and displayed them in the living room. Clients often make the mistake of forcing the elderly to part with personal treasures, but just knowing that they are safely boxed and stored in a basement or closet gives them peace of mind.

Although the client got around very well for someone of advanced years, her range of motion was limited. Kathy organized the pantry and cabinets so she could reach things in the kitchen and no longer had to stand on a step stool or bend over to get to the back of the cabinets.

The bath was refitted with handrails and non-slip surfacing in the shower. A shower stool was added. All of the area rugs that can be trip hazards to the elderly were removed. Wide pathways were cleared to the areas of the home used daily making it easier to get from one living space to the next with her cane.

Kathy then deep cleaned and de-cluttered the family room and recreation room removing all of the boxes, bags and magazines that had accumulated.
