The prevalence of hoarding disorders is greater amongst people of age 55 and up. Relatives who support these seniors provide care in a context where aging and other mental disorders interact. Few studies have addressed this specific context of caregiving. The objective of this research was to shed light on personal and social issues experienced by hoarder’s close caregivers. Using a qualitative design, through individual interviews, we gathered testimony from eleven caregivers for seniors dealing with hoarding and eight social workers. Our results indicate that the interaction between aging and this mental disorder brings about considerable burden and specific concerns to close caregivers, as well as the development of strategies for “self preservation” throughout their pathway and in the caregiving. Social workers can play a key role to foster the well-being of close caregivers. In a broader perspective, it is important to instill, in concrete terms, a “culture of benevolence” in favor of close caregivers in our societies.
