My wife and I have been trying to get my parents dehoard their home for the last few years, before my sister and I are stuck with trying to deal with the horrific task ourselves. No luck though. My parents house seems ok, if you stick to the main level where the living room, kitchen and family room are. If you venture upstairs, the hallway is filled with crap. All 3 bedrooms are filled with crap, books/boxes/files, it's piled on the bed, on top of TVs everywhere. You go to the basement, you have to maneuver though tiny alleyways to get around all the junk, clothes/bins/boxes. Then there is the garage, it is in a state of disrepair, and it can't be repaired because of all the stuff in it. The garage door broke about 6 years ago, when the car was still being driven into the garage, and when that happened, it became "Oh I'll someone fix that next week, in the meantime, I'll just store this stuff where the car used to go" and within a month or two there was no turning back, no one could get in to fix the garage door. Then the storage unit came about 2 years ago, as a "temporary" solution to help with "sorting" all the stuff. We knew then, as we know now, that the storage unit will be kept until the death of my father. Sadly my parents financial affairs aren't much better, they would be fine if they could cut back just a little bit, but they won't.
