ABSTRACT
This chapter employs the heuristic clutter moves to embark on the analysis of how movements thread together multiple entities in home ecologies of old age care. Various articles about how to manage home clutter appear regularly in the bi-monthly magazine of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Ecology is used to encompass the multiple spatial-temporal entanglements of heterogeneous entities including people and their cluttered things. According to the RN respondents, more than a third of the patient's households contained environmental hazards including home clutter. Patrick's shoeboxes illustrate collecting-distributing clutter moves that connect family ties. Phylli's cluttered armchair headquarters potentially enabled the movement of prayers and thoughts for others while easing her own bodily movements. The scientific literature in gerontology has more often than not factored clutter and movement as potentially a perilous relationship. The clutter moves heuristic helped to identify a series of movements, most prominently collecting-distributing home clutter.
