How would you deal with a resident who is a hoarder

I'm not asking for advice, I know what to do but thought this would be an interesting real world situation to discuss.

Today at our one of our mobile home parks my manager was collecting resident info we didn't have like phone numbers/email. He knocked on the door of one home (keep in mind, she is an owner) and discovered the following:

  1. Front exterior door was broken, leaning against the opening with a blanket hanging over the opening to close it in.
  2. When he peeked around the blanket, he saw the room to the right filed to the ceiling with full bags of garbage.
  3. He noted a possum in the home with garbage hanging out it's mouth
  4. He noted a trail off to the left between the bags leading to the back room, trail was about 15" wide
  5. He followed her car into the park and knew she was home but she would not come to the door.
  6. She leaves for work every morning and is home by 5
  7. She drives a new (2021) car
  8. She is the owner if this home, not me.  She pays lot rent like clock work.
  9. The home is pre-hud, 12x57 home
  10. Indiana law governs

I'm meeting with the resident tomorrow, what would you say/do?
