COVID-19

Returning to the new workplace. What to expect. How to stay safe. Complimentary webinar prepares you for the next phase.

July 7, 2020 //  by admin

Will we ever hang around the water cooler again?  What about the new acceptable elevator capacity?  How will specifically designed workstations keep us separated and yet still connected to one another.

A free webinar entitled “Returning to the new workplace. What to expect. How to stay safe.” is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, noon – 1 p.m. The complimentary program is sponsored by Rockland Trust, My Pinnacle Network, South Shore and Networking Professionals.

Topics will include how often should the office be cleaned?  How should the office be cleaned?  How will air be cleaned and monitored?  How does the footprint get changed?  Will companies share space or segment their own?  What furniture designs work for safe distancing, but avoid isolation?  How do companies integrate remote and on-site workers?

According to McKinsey research, 80 percent of those interviewed noted that they enjoy working from home. Forty-one percent say that they are more productive than they had been before and another 28 percent that they are as productive. Many employees delighted in freedom from commuting and greater work/life balance. Many are reluctant to return to a conventional office environment.

Featured presenters include Jay Nuss, principal of Jay Nuss Realty Group and Steve Wilson, principal of Office Furniture Consulting. Steve Dubin of PR Works will moderate the panel.

Nuss has over 30 years of experience in all facets of commercial real estate brokerage with special emphasis on the selling and leasing of office, industrial, and mixed-use properties in the Greater Boston Area.

Wilson founded Office Furniture Consulting in 1990. It is a multi-featured company providing space planning, quote specification development, ergonomic research, relocation services, and office furniture procurement.

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

Wendy Adlerstein

March 25, 2020 //  by admin

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.”
