Important for hospital discharge, e.g. if the home is too cluttered for the person to move around easily/safely. May also suggest care and support needs and/or a safeguarding issue (hoarding) in its own right. Might be captured in a Care Act assessment, in care workers' notes, or via a Safe and Well visit from the Fire and Rescue Service.
