Bio-One of West Palm Beach offers Hoarding Services

Image

According to the American Psychiatric Association, compulsive hoarding disorder affects an estimated 2 to 6 percent of the population. That’s between 6.5 and 20 million people respectively—if you consider the latest figures from the United States Census Bureau. While inadvertently mythologized through reality television, hoarding is a serious problem that can diminish one’s quality of life and create significant safety hazards. As opposed to collectors, who invariably organize their material in a clean and organized manner, hoarders obsessively and haphazardly accumulate a myriad of items that often have no practical value. They face severe distress when confronted with the prospect of discarding these items, leading to a dangerous and unsanitary aggregation of clothes, trash, broken appliances and more.

 

In addition to generating mold, harboring disease and creating fire hazards, hoarding—according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America—often causes distress within the family and threatens the social development of children. While the nation’s leading psychiatrists didn’t classify hoarding as a distinct mental disorder until 2013, it’s a significant problem that many Americans face within our local communities. That’s why you shouldn’t feel ashamed if you’re thinking about contacting Bio-One to assist you or a loved one with hoarding cleanup. We will work with you to address your individual situation, especially if that includes removing extreme piles of clutter, searching for sentimental valuables, and restoring your home’s sense of safety and comfort.

 

Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns. It can be the first step towards recovery.

WHAT SHOULD A BUSINESS DO IF AN EMPLOYEE GETS COVID-19

What To Do if an Employee Gets Covid-19?

Image


As we find ourselves in the final days of 2020 we find ourselves maintaining the fragile balance of trying to keep our businesses open and operating as normal as possible while protecting our teams and clients. It’s more on our minds than ever. If you’ve had a confirmed case of COVID-19 in your business, we strongly recommend contacting Bio-One of West Palm Beach for COVID-19 disinfecting services. However, you may also need some guidance on what to do if one of your employees advises that they have received a positive test for Coronavirus.

 

DISINFECTING YOUR BUSINESS FROM COVID-19

  • Employee Reports Positive Case - According to the CDC once an employee reports a positive case of Covid-19, or reports close contact with someone who has tested positive of Covid-19, they should self quarantine at home for 10-20 days. They should be urged to contact a health care provider even if they do not show signs or symptoms as he or she can still transmit the disease.

 

  • The CDC has noted that Covid-19 exposure is transmitted through close contact. Close contact as defined by the CDC for these purposes is anyone who is within six feet of an infected individual for longer than 15 minutes. This includes the 48 hours prior to the onset of symptoms in the infected individual.

 

  • Under the OSHA General Duty requirements an employer will want to notify other employees that may have been exposed to the confirmed Covid-19 employee as soon as possible to reduce further risk of exposure. However, it is imperative that the employer does not release the name of the exposed employee to prevent potential privacy concerns.

 

  • Vacate and clean the workspaces and common areas that were contaminated. Although it is possible to clean on your own many businesses have opted to instead have a certified company such as Bio-One of West Palm Beach disinfect their places of business as they have tools that allow cleaning to cover every surface in the contaminated space, and as it minimizes the risk to essential personnel in the business if they are not required to do the sanitization themselves.

IN REALITY, IF YOU’RE POSITIVE THAT YOUR BUSINESS HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO COVID-19, THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS CALL BIO-ONE OF WEST PALM BEACH FOR COVID-19 CLEANING AND DISINFECTING SERVICES.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE AFTER-HOUR AND WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO HELP PREVENT THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOUR BUSINESS IS CLOSED DUE TO AN ACTIVE CASE OF COVID-19.

IT’S ONE THING TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS, BUT IF YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOUR BUILDING HAS BEEN INFECTED, IT’S NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO LEAVE TO CHANCE — WE ARE HELPING OUR COMMUNITY MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF THIS PANDEMIC THROUGH THE FASTIDIOUS DECONTAMINATION OF HOMES AND BUSINESS OF THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN INFECTED.

Suicide Grief Intervention

Image

 

Losing a loved one can be the one of the most stressful experiences in life. It has been estimated that for every suicide at least six people experience intense grief. Grief is a natural response to the loss of loved one, but when someone has lost a loved one to suicide, they experience more than just grief. When people are bereaved by suicide,they may experience intense feelings of rejection, a greater need to conceal the cause of death, more shame, and blaming and social stigmatization than other surviving groups. Furthermore, people who have discovered the body of someone who has died by suicide have often described this as a traumatic experience that cause flashbacks and intrusive thoughts.

 

Partners or spouses that have lost a loved one to suicide pose a risk factor for suicide. Therefore, they are especially in need of intervention aimed at reducing their grief, more so than those who have lost a loved one to natural causes. Even though studies have shown that the vast majority of people bereaved by suicide are in great need of professional support, only about half of them reach out for help to crisis teams, support groups, or mental health services.

 

If you, or someone you know has lost someone they love to suicide we encourage you to seek intervention to help with the grieving process. Below is a link that will show you multiple support groups in the West Palm Beach area.
