My parents live in an apartment building in Queens. They are infested with roaches and mice due to their hoarding and other people in the building who live like pigs. My sister works full-time and I live upstate and have to travel down every week to clean. We got them a new apartment 6 months ago that they still have not moved into because they won't pack and my mother won't allow us to pack. We have not called an agency such as Social Services because we are afraid they might be evicted or not allowed to move into the new space. We can't continue like this, time is running out, money is running out. What can I do? My mother is a huge obstacle. They will not go anywhere to allow us time to get in there and clean out the old apartment. We can't really afford a service to help. They are not full blown hoarders (stuff is in piles) - but we need to get rid of alot. It's hard with someone with dementia - they want to keep things for the memories, but enough is enough. HEEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!
