Offer help without pressure, ask what they want to keep and agree on one small area to start. Do not remove items they have not released. A cleanup team can take over the heavy lifting, disposal and sanitizing while you offer support.
Not always, but it often helps. When the resident is present, sorting goes more smoothly and decisions are respected. If the resident cannot attend, the family or caller can set clear rules about what is kept.
Often a lease or local housing or fire rules allow a landlord to set a deadline for safety. A tenant rights group, a code office or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.

Small habits, such as one clear surface a week, help. Ongoing support from a doctor, counselor or local group can make progress last. The team can talk through simple upkeep ideas at the end of the job.
