Mental health issues have surged during COVID-19, with the effects of lockdown and the loss of loved ones contributing to increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other serious illnesses.
During this stressful time, the important work of establishments such as Cefn Coed Hospital in Swansea is more critical than ever. The facility has been serving the area for nearly 90 years, with its iconic tower easily identifiable on the Swansea skyline.
Here at Regimental Cleaning Services, we believe that patients and staff in institutions such as Cefn Coed deserve some extra support from the community, particularly during these challenging times, and we are proud to be part of that support.
We thoroughly clean all clinical and administrative areas of premises, paying particular attention to high-traffic areas and touchpoints including door handles, windows, desks, bed frames, light switches and taps.
A clean medical setting not only reduces the physical risks associated with COVID-19 but ensures people feel safe, promoting a positive mental attitude and helping to alleviate anxiety. In fact, a recent study has shown that a clean environment fosters more relaxed and happy minds, both of which are vital for the recuperation of patients and the mental well-being of the staff that facilitate their recovery.
With this in mind, we have been working closely with management at Cefn Coed hospital, and other medical institutions around Swansea, to ensure everyone experiences sanitary and safe surroundings when visiting or working on site.
Ian Williams, our Managing Director, said:
“Declining mental health has taken its toll on many of us during this unprecedented time. It’s important we all do our bit to lessen the impact, and we are proud to be part of the team working with establishments like Cefn Coed to help support people during their hour of need.”
