Busy Adults taken to a trash bin, or set aside for appraisal, selling, etc. When you consider the volume of goods in the typical household, you can see how this quickly becomes an overwhelming prospect, especially for seniors.
For seniors with memory impairment, it is not uncommon to have to go through this process several times. The senior may not remember having already made a decision about an item - you may move an item to an area for items to be sold, only to return the next day and find the item moved back to its original location. This situation requires a great deal of tact, compassion, and above all, patience. Since the moving process is already a major stressor for everyone involved, it may be difficult for the adult child to remain objective.
