A crew with enough people and a clear plan, working room by room. Going fast without the resident's agreement often backfires, though, and the home can fill again. Clearing exits and hazards first is the quickest way to make a real safety difference.
Yes. The resident decides what stays, what is donated and what is removed. Valuables, documents, photos and medicine are set aside first, and nothing leaves the home without agreement.
Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.

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.
