Bless his heart❤. I care for my 86 year old mom with Alzheimer’s and have for six years. She’s still in her own home and I’m there 12 long hours a day, my husband and son rotate nights with her. Just watching the progression of the disease and being in a support group, this can happen very easily. Bless you Barbie for your compassion, hard work and an amazing job!

The fridge and freezer were just sad proof this poor guy's brain isn't braining the way it should.

[@jaellouis4749]

He is long, LONG past the stage where he can live alone. He is a danger to himself. This should be a move out clean.

The elderly can fall off the map so easily. Thank you for caring.

[@betania4584]

Well, he wasn't alone....he had that ghost friend....😂😂

[@jaindeau772]

Before there was space for my friend with dementia to move from independent living to memory care, staff at her retirement community unplugged her range and told her it was broken. That at least eliminated a major safety risk for her and her neighbors.

[@opalbee]

What's especially scary is that the stove in this video looked like a gas range. So he's going to end up either causing a fire or poisoning himself with unlit gas. 😟

[@momtrips6783]

You really worked a miracle here so far! I hope the family of this man will get the resources he needs for him. It isn't easy, and many times the person with dementia will fight you -- sometimes literally -- not wanting the help and intervention. (We've been through this in the past few years with a family member) If he is burning stuff accidently, he is probably at the stage where he shouldn't be living alone anymore as it's a danger to everyone living in the building if a fire gets out of control. Barbie, you're a gem to take this on so fearlessly.

[@josiefiksman144]

Oh my! The stove moving….was very strange and spooky! 😱 But your cha cha dance, on the roches 🪳 made me laugh!

Sweet Barbie, Thank you so much for removing the grease, grime, the trash, the mold, and the shame, but leaving them with their dignity, and hopefully some peace. Barbie, you are amazing.

[@kaceyharms3135]

Barbie I’m a firm believer that it doesn’t matter the actual state of your home environment ….clean is clean. Old or new. Hut or apartment. You may not be able to control some factors in your living environment but you can control how clean it is. So never apologize for a less than perfect pretty environment. Clean is most important! And WOW!! The grime that came off the cabinets was amazing!! Loved it

Great job! I give you credit for cleaning this place. The landlord of this property has neglected it! Who wants to care for a place, when everything you touch is falling apart! I hate slumlords! Thank you for helping this man.

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

I absolutely disagree! What landlord wants to care for a place that the tenant has trashed in this manner!?! The “landlord” if there is a landlord, should evict this person and sue his estate for the damages he’s caused.

[@nilay2252]

Barbie, you deserve a medal for cleaning this place for free

[@carolynoquinn4573]

He shouldn't live on his own anymore.

[@bumble4342]

I agree it's too dangerous for him to live alone now. As a nurse, and working with those who suffer from dementia, he is a vulnerable adult who needs 24 hour care now.

[@norahdelagarza775]

Sweet Barbie, you have so much patience with these jobs. I have been working on my kitchen for 2 days and I'm not finished. It takes me so long to complete tasks and I am usually overwhelmed. Do you take a week to do one room? And how do I get rid of roaches? Love you so much 💋

[@ShinnosukeTokuda1684]

She is in NYC and often these cleanings are a precedent to the city providing a live-in aide/nurse or some kinda inpatient home care. I think she mentioned it in another video.

It looks as though he is receiving Meals on Wheels. It is such a valuable service for aging and homebound elderly people. Maybe if he can get some in home care that the caregiver can see that he eats these meals instead of just placing them in the refrigerator to ruin. That is a sad situation😢

You are THE BEST cleaner on KZbin, and I have watched a ton of cleaners!!

[@cleanwithbarbie]

Wow, thank you! ❤️

[@asonia8446]

I am really shocked by your comment. The first thing I have noticed with this Channel is that the supposed to be cleaning is way way to be completed. Like in this vidéo, for example the sides of the stove or the cabinet Doors. There is more wiping than scraping, of course there is a huge difference and we can only congratulate Barbie for her work, compassion and precious time.

[@bumble4342]

I agree! Barbie is the best!

[@carolm7037]

You have to report cockroaches as they can spread to other tenants as well

[@loribethartist6353]

You deserve an award 🥇 for cleaning that sink and fridge!! ❤

[@bettyparker3317]

Barbie, you are amazing. To think how long he lived in these conditions. It didn’t get that way overnight. Many many elders must be visited. A phone call won’t do it, many will insist everything is fine, when in fact it’s like this. Yes, “independence” is an issue, but their safety and health comes first, not to mention neighbors’ safety. I hope his family realizes that if he’s left alone again, things will go back to where they were. What’s heartbreaking is that so many don’t have any family or close friends to check on them.

[@AngusHenry09]

That is my worst fear, not having anyone. Is so very sad.

[@maryhtrask4321]

I lived with my husband’s grandmother who had Alzheimer’s and then his mom. It’s a terrible disease. Thanks for helping ❤

[@homeschoolteenswithjenny]

This breaks my heart for the uncle and the family... My grandmother had dementia. She died last year, and her house went downhill SO FAST! She was paranoid and had severe mood swings, so it was hard to help her until the very end when she was bedridden. Thank you for helping them! You touch my heart every week with these videos!

[@sellyourhomenowbook]

Excellent Barbie. The family should involve a Dr and a social worker. It may not be safe for him or his neighbors to have him live alone any longer. ❤ also if the rental is not secure from the weather the landlord is legally obligated to fix any leaks etc. Hugs Barbie I see you as a super hero. ❤

Oh, Barbie 😢I can't tell you how worried I was watching you while trying your best to detox this poor man's apartment. 🤦‍♀ It's too much for you to handle this task by yourself. But you've done an exceptional job with the place despite the deplorable conditions it was before. This apartment should be either renovated or condemned because it's unlivable for anyone to occupy it. I'm at a loss for words the way you left the kitchen after exfoliating the entire room from top to bottom. Jesu😔.

Wow Barbie, Amazing work again. I know someone who has a garage refrigerator that has been unplugged for quite awhile now and I will help them when weather gets warmer to clean it. I think your oven cleaner spray tip is going to be invaluable. Ty for helping people and us too in so many ways. You and other cleaners are starting an awareness and movement for this huge need that had went in silence and embarrassment for too long. I saw in a neighboring state four church ladies are helping their community with free cleaning for those who have had difficult medical conditions, treatments and immobile recooperating operations to clean who have no one to help them. Bless each and every one.

I watch your videos because of your kindness and dedication to doing the best job you can in these trying circumstances. You mentioned ghosts in this one and I was inspired to google how many humans are estimated to have been alive on earth over it's history. When you think about 5 to 17 BILLION that have lived and died, that's alot of ghosts! I don't know if there is an 'afterlife'; I'm 79 and the older I get, I just want the rest of 'nothingness' when I die. Don't be scared; you may have been taught about ghosts as a child, but since our proof of them is only in our imagination and stories passed down through generations, I wouldn't necessarily believe that's what you see or hear in an old apartment of a person whose brain is failing. It is so sad for the man and his family. Thanks so much for your beautiful self!
