Sign of the times. Social Distancing Sign Solutions – Webster Printing Rolls Out New Division.

As companies strive to ensure the safety of their customers and employees by following the guidelines of public health officials and government agencies during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, demand for social distancing signage has skyrocketed.

Webster Printing, providers of fine commercial printing, commercial sign solutions and complete mailing/fulfillment services with locations in Hanson and Hanover, MA, has launched a new “Social Distancing Sign Solutions” division.

“We had an opportunity to create generic social distancing signs for a large New England supermarket chain and overnight, demand for this type of signage increased exponentially,” explained Ernie Foster, president of Webster Printing, based in Hanson, MA and serving New England and beyond. “Whether a company has one or 150 locations, we make it incredibly easy for them to obtain high quality, durable social distancing signage. For example, store sign placement evaluations may be done via virtual tour on a smart phone. We’re a full-service printer with the expertise and capacity for speedy custom sign fulfillment.”

Webster’s in-house design and creative services team can personalize and customize any type of social distancing signage. Or, if preferred, customers may provide their own file. With two shifts running, turnaround is a quick 48-hours.

Foster continued, “Although social distancing signage is critical during this crisis, the rules of social distancing will most likely remain with us for the foreseeable future. Education and continual reinforcement are the new reality. Webster Printing has come up with some ideas to help educate the public about the new social distancing rules.”

Combining state-of-the-art pre-press and print technology with an 80 plus year history of excellence, Webster Printing is meeting this new demand with a dedicated division that offers both generic and customized social distancing signage. Among the markets they serve are hospitals, banks, pharmaceutical, corporate facilities, grocery and liquor stores, manufacturers, retailers, government buildings, colleges and universities.

Webster Printing offers social distancing signage in any size for walls, windows and floors. The materials used are durable and specified for each particular application. The company also provides signage in different languages (bilingual or multilingual signs) and has the capability to add symbols.

“Free social distancing evaluation”

Some facility managers and directors may be in need of advice regarding distancing signage. Webster Printing offers a free, carefully arranged in-person evaluation or virtual evaluation (via SmartPhone and video) of existing space.

Printing. Unlimited Possibilities™

Webster Printing provides a complete solution for printing, product packaging and fulfillment – from creating and producing custom print/packaging that stands out from the crowd to warehousing, picking and shipping to get product into customers’ hands quickly and cost-effectively.

As a full-service printing plant with decades of experience in marketing and print services, Webster’s in-house creative design team can translate product brand into signage and packaging with powerful appeal.

Bust out. Enjoy Getting Your Lawn Ready for Spring.

Cabin fever is setting in for many of us who have been self-isolating due COVID-19.  But maybe this is an opportune time to get some Vitamin E from the sun and endorphins from the rejuvenating exercise related to preparing your yard for spring?  Many experts note that sunshine and clean air are natures best disinfectant.

Here are some simple and effective tips from Lawn Doctor of Boston, the South Shore, and Cape Cod.

Tom Norton, President of the local Lawn Doctor outfit, suggests “Some years are worse than others, but a general clean-up will benefit your lawn in many ways.” 

Norton continued, “Too much debris can suffocate the lawn and prevent the emergence of new growth. Raking up even just a few sticks and leaves not only helps get the lawn looking better instantly but it gives you the opportunity to inspect your lawn thoroughly and assess any issues.”

Now what? Lawn Doctor cautions you that raking to clean up is great, but if you have a thick layer of thatch, you may have to rake a little more thoroughly. Thatch is the layer of decomposing plant material that sits on the surface of the soil. When it accumulates and gets compacted it can prevent the roots of your grass from getting water, fertilizer, oxygen and other nutrients. 

Next, manage the moss. Every winter your lawn will stop growing and go into winter dormancy. Meanwhile, moss continues to grow. In the early spring, moss often looks worse than it is. Once the turf starts to grow moss will become less noticeable. Under some conditions, such as heavy shade or habitually moist areas, moss will naturally grow thick and dense. In this case, moss can only be handled by removing it manually with a rake or dethatcher. To help prevent moss and control the spread of it, we recommend a heavy calcitic lime application in the spring and, depending on the soil pH, sometimes again in the fall. Seeding in the fall and proper nutritional care and maintenance can keep the moss from coming back. 

Now for fertilize. In the early spring, you’ll notice that your grass is pale green, gray or even yellow, depending on the variety of grass you have. As it comes out of dormancy, it will naturally green up. To bring it back to life faster and see it grow greener you should have a lawn care program.

Lawn Doctor urges a first treatment of a high-nitrogen fertilizer with other essential nutrients as well as weed control and crabgrass preventative. This service will wake your grass right up and make it look like winter never happened!

Pay attention and prevent crabgrass. It may seem too soon to be thinking about crabgrass but it is imperative to get pre-emergent weed control solution onto your lawn ASAP. The secret is TWO applications of pre-emergent solution. Two applications mean double prevention and longer lasting effects. Do not underestimate the importance of pre-emergent. 

Good start to creating the lush lawn that your family and friend can enjoy.

Lawn Doctor of Boston, the South Shore, and Cape Cod is a local, family owned and operated business. Over 50 years of serving their neighbors has provided their team with invaluable insight as how best maintain your home’s greenest asset.

Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your lawncare routine or create one from scratch, the experts at Lawn Doctor can get you on track. For more information about Lawn Doctor, visit http://www.lawndoctor.com/or call 800-831-1319.

Tips for Seniors and their Families. Breaking through isolation during COVID-19.

NEEDHAM, MA… Older adults (age 60+) have been identified as one of the most vulnerable populations in the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, many seniors are now distancing themselves from others and are essentially “homebound” and isolated.

FirstLight Home Care of West Suburban Boston, offers tips for seniors to help ward off boredom and other potential effects that have been linked to social isolation.

“As seniors continue to practice precautions in these uncertain times, many are struggling with the social isolation aspect that goes along with it,” said Wendy Adlerstein, LSW, Owner and Executive Director of FirstLight Home Care of West Suburban Boston, a leading provider of non-medical home care helping individuals achieve the quality of life they deserve. Adlerstein, a licensed social worker, has more than 20 years of experience in working with seniors.

She continued, “Altered sleep patterns, feelings of loneliness, as well as increased fear and anxiety are a few of the effects of social isolation that may develop over time.”

In light of this, FirstLight Home Care of West Suburban Boston offers five “isolation buster” activities for seniors below:

Engage in “brain games”. Crossword puzzles and Sudoku are a couple traditional games that seniors may enjoy on their own. Tech-savvy seniors may prefer to play Scrabble, Dominoes or a variety of other multi-player online games.

Enjoy the show. Create a list of your favorite movies, share it with friends and family and encourage them to add to the list. Share ratings and critiques with one another. From past and present Oscar winners, dramas and musicals to romantic comedies and westerns, there’s a variety of genres and no shortage of films.

Find a new hobby or project. Do you enjoy perusing cookbooks for recipes that you could improve upon? Whether it’s cooking, crafting, woodworking, drawing or another activity – find a hobby you are passionate about that will bring you joy and keep you busy.

Learn something new. Consider learning a new language through any of the free language learning websites. Visit online exhibits at museums from around the world. A good link to start with is https://artsandculture.google.com/. Or, simply tune in to some of the fun, educational television shows that offer instruction on baking, gardening, painting and more.

Revisit your favorite books. Whether it’s a collection of classic works, a favorite “whodunit”, or that 400-page page biography – there’s no better time than the present to enjoy it.

Adlerstein advises, “Finding activities that you enjoy, and that stimulate thinking, problem solving and creativity will not only keep you from being bored, but can improve mood and help keep you sharp. Although social distancing is a necessity, stay in touch with neighbors, family and friends on a regular basis. Talk on the phone, video chat, text or email. We’re all in this together and will get through it.”

Boston area Physical Therapy provider now offers Telehealth – Physical Therapy services in the comfort of your home.

Boston Sports Medicine, a provider of exceptional physical therapy care to thousands in the Boston area and beyond, is now offering Telehealth or E-Visit physical therapy services to their existing patients, and Telehealth to any patient in Massachusetts who has lost their physical therapy due to office closure or reduction in staff.

With intensifying concerns surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Telehealth or E-Visits have become of paramount importance to ensure the safety of patients and health care providers.

Physical Therapy via computer or another device

Telehealth or E-Visits are the remote delivery of health care services and clinical information using communications technology, such as Internet, wireless and phone media. Boston Sports Medicine patients now have the opportunity to seamlessly continue their care through video appointments, while practicing social distancing, remaining in their home, and minimizing their exposure to the virus.

Dr. Michael J. Velsmid, DPT, MS, Director of Boston Sports Medicine

“Approximately half of the patients we see critically need physical therapy guidance,” explained Dr. Michael J. Velsmid, DPT, MS, Director of Boston Sports Medicine. “Many people have just had surgery, young children have recently had their casts removed, people with debilitating back and neck pain and others who have acute injury or medical conditions are without anyone to speak with to learn how to cope and what they and their family can do. Our Telehealth or E-Visit services enable us to deliver essential physical therapy and clinical information remotely to continue their care in the safety of their home.”

Benefits of Physical Therapy by Telehealth

In addition to minimizing exposure to the virus, Boston Sports Medicine’s Telehealth/E-Visit physical therapy provides a number of benefits including:

Convenience – Patients receive physical therapy care from the comfort, safety, and privacy of their home or anywhere with connection to communications technology.

Security – Boston Sport Medicine’s technology platform used for Telehealth and E-Visits are HIPAA compliant, ensuring that private health information is protected.

Simplicity – Patients use a computer or any device with a camera and internet. If there is no access to a camera, Boston Sport Medicine’s physical therapist can do Telehealth visits by phone.

Office appointments at Boston Sports Medicine’s locations are available at the moment but currently limited due to their efforts to “flatten the curve” by strict adherence to grouping guidelines and social distancing.

Access to the best therapists no matter where you are

To request a Telehealth or E-Visit physical therapy appointment, visit https://www.bostonsportsmed.com/request-appointment/ and a Boston Sports Medicine physical therapist will see you on your device in the comfort of your home covered by your MA-based health insurance plan, Medicare, Tricare, and many other out of state plans.

The Department of Public Health issued guidance on March 15, 2020 to all commercial insurers and the Group Insurance Commission regarding the coverage of medically necessary telehealth services. To review the full order, visit https://www.mass.gov/doc/march-15-2020-telehealth-order/download

Boston Sports Medicine has taken it a step further to help the most vulnerable population by waiving all copayments and deductibles for its Medicare beneficiaries who use E-Visits.

Professional distancing? Tips on Connecting with online meetings.

Business communication has been dramatically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Systems Support Corp based in 462 Plain Street, Suite 206, Marshfield, MA  02050 is offering tips and support to help businesses segue to online meetings.

Client/Sales visits are out!  Many are now working from home and remotely controlling their office computers, making it very hard or impossible to stay in touch with multiple people at the same time.

Video conferencing to the rescue. Zoom, Go To Meeting, WebEx, Anytime Meeting, Skype and Intermedia are among the leaders.

Brian MacFee of Systems Support Corp notes, “Online meetings break through the isolation and keep everybody on the same page. This could be employees, clients, key members of clubs and organizations, or even just a chance to get family together over the upcoming holidays.”

He added, “The good news is that there are a number of quality online meeting systems that are pretty easy to use, fairly inexpensive (some are even free for a period of time), and pretty reliable. “

Most people have a laptop or tablet at their disposal they can use that already has a video camera and microphone built into it. You can even use most of the smartphones for it as well. Most of the better known meeting systems have pretty much the same features that we’ll be talking about.

To have the best meetings you can, make some preparations beforehand and test them out with a friend or partner before going “live” with a number of people. Here’s some tips to make your meeting the best experience it can be. Some of the tips are good to remember if you are an attendee of someone else’s meeting –

  1. Choose a good provider – again the top providers are highly recommended. All are easy to use even for the novice.

  2. Include all the information necessary to connect in your invitation email that you send to attendees.
  • Create and share an agenda with your attendees.

  • Practice the meeting with a colleague. How do you look and sound on their computer?
    A suggestion, try to use a headset microphone or pair the Bluetooth earpiece/microphone you use with your phone to your computer. Microphones internal to laptops tend to sound boomy or throw off lots of echo.

  • Make sure your lighting is BRIGHT. Without good lighting, you will look dark and rather sinister on the other screens. Have a light background, like a blank office wall. You can even drape a white sheet behind for better contrast and appearance with a logo or brand graphic attached. It is best to avoid a window  as your background.

  • If at home, choose a room with good lighting away from everybody else.

  • If there are going to be more than three attendees, you want to be able to mute people at will as one of the biggest complaints is people talking over one another.

  • With more attendees, it is best to have a colleague manage the meeting – muting / unmuting as necessary and switching  the main screen to others for you as necessary.
  • Many systems allow you to record the meeting. This can be helpful to recall documents that are shared or clarifying what was said.
  1. Repeat number 4 – Practice is the best way to become familiar with the system, check the sound and picture, and share documents and videos.

These tips should help you create effective meetings that can help keep your clients, colleagues, or potential customers engaged and improve your image as you attend other’s meetings.

Systems Support Corp, located at 462 Plain Street, Suite 206, Marshfield, MA  02050 delivers first-class computer support to companies aiming to increase productivity and efficiency. With a comprehensive approach to network services, Systems Support Corp is a single source for all things IT.

Getting out of the Gutter and celebrating a milestone. Brothers That Just Do Gutters turn 20 and cut the ribbon on new national headquarters.

More than 150 people – including 11 franchisees, members of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, numerous suppliers, employees, family members and the public – helped celebrate the  20th anniversary and completion of the Brothers That Just Do Gutters new national headquarters, franchisee training center and warehouse facilities on March 6.  The new, expanded location is 55 Page Park Drive, Poughkeepsie, NY.

“It was great to share the 20th anniversary and opening of our new corporate headquarters with those who were instrumental in helping us get to this milestone,” noted Ken Parsons, founder of Brothers That Just Do Gutters.

He added, “On-going benchmarking, sales training, product education, lead generation and appointment coordination in a thoughtful, consistent delivery way continues to produce measurable and significant success.”

The celebration took place on the last day of the Brothers That Just Do Gutters Annual Franchise conference.  The conference provided additional training and support for the 11 Brothers Gutters franchisees with locations from Florida to New Jersey and as far as Texas.

The new Brothers That Just Do Gutters includes 2,000 square feet of office space, a 5,000 square feet training center and 5,000 for warehousing.

The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Story

The Brothers That Just Do Gutters was born out of Ken Parson’s vision for a better contracting service than the ones operating in his market and beyond. While working as a gutter installer for another company summers between teaching History in 1996, he determined exactly what qualities such an operation should embody. In 1999 his plans were solidified with the opening of what is now called The Brothers That Just Do Gutters.

After extensive campaigning, Ken was able to recruit his brother, Ryan to join him as the co-owner and Chief Solutionist© of their growing operation. The sibling essentially threw their higher education into the gutter and haven’t looked back since.

Fast forward to 2019. Ken and Ryan have helped dozens of other motivated individuals, partners and couples realize the American Dream by opening The Brothers That Just Do Gutters franchises of their own. Today, there are 10 Brothers Gutter franchise locations from Florida to New Jersey and even across the county in Seattle. Their proprietary system enables quick growth and ample return on investment with direct training, ongoing consultation and shared exposure.

Fall River, MA Safety Company Offers Next Generation of Hand Sanitizer. Lasting Protection Against Germs with Prefense

Handwashing is one of the best practices for staying healthy. With the threat of contagious viruses such as the flu and coronavirus, defending against germs is imperative. Now, there is a new generation of hand sanitizer that bolsters that defense.

Prefense foam hand sanitizer is a revolutionary new hand sanitizer that acts as a “barrier” to germs and offers lasting protection with just one application per day. Prefense foam hand sanitizer is a patented, alcohol-free formula that soothes and moisturizes hands while providing up to 24-hour protection. The active ingredient in Prefense safely bonds with skin to provide antimicrobial protection all day long, or through 10 hand washings.

“Prefense is a hand sanitizer that provides barrier-type protection and is the only one like it in the world,” said John V. Carvalho III, founder and president of Apollo Safety, Inc., gas detection experts and the leading safety and technical services equipment provider in New England that has been protecting the public from invisible, airborne threats for 25 years. “This product has been scientifically and medically vetted, and has proven effective. We’ve added Prefense to our comprehensive line of protective products.”

Having long been the accepted practice for when soap and water is not readily available, alcohol based sanitizers are no longer the only option. An alcohol based sanitizer evaporates (after application) along with the skin’s protective layer of natural oils, which can leave skin dry, chapped and cracking. Ultimately, over time it can compromise the skin’s ability to keep germs out.

Safe for the whole family, Prefense is a colorless foam that applies easily and dries quickly. Prefense does not contain alcohol, triclosan, hydrogen peroxide, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, parabens or harsh chemicals. It is made from a patented, silica based formula that moisturizes skin.

Prefense foam is sold in 1.5 ounce and 8 ounce bottles and is available online. To learn more about the product or make a purchase, visit Apollo Safety’s website:

https://www.apollosafetyproducts.net/search?query=prefense

In addition to creating greater awareness about this innovative hand sanitizer, Apollo Safety shares best practice tips for staying healthy below:

– Try to avoid those who are already sick and maintain a distance from anyone who is sneezing or coughing when you are in a public space.

– Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose and mouth.

– Block your sneeze or cough in the bend of your arm. Or, sneeze or cough into a tissue or napkin and discard it in the trash.

– Wash hands often, scrubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds while making sure to get under fingernails.

– Consider wearing a mask if you are going to a doctor’s office or other healthcare setting or if you are coughing and sneezing and being out in a public space is unavoidable.

– Self-isolate if you are not feeling well, particularly if you are coughing or sneezing.
