Providing excellent care at home isn’t just about the support offered by a caregiver; it’s also about creating a safe, sanitary space for comfort. A clean home environment impacts a senior’s health, safety, and dignity, especially during illness or crisis. That’s why Cheer Home Care recently invited Bio-One Chula Vista, a local leader in trauma and biohazard cleanup.
Jason Madsen of Bio-One Chula Vista
At a community networking event, we first connected with Jason Madsen, owner of Bio-One Chula Vista. Jason’s commitment to “help first, business second” stood out as the company’s foundational ethos. Jason didn’t always plan to work in trauma cleaning, but was drawn to meaningful and tangible work. His hands-on approach, paired with his desire to provide services that are both accessible and essential, has made Bio-One a trusted partner in difficult times. During the Lunch and Learn, Jason shared before-and-after visuals from past jobs. These images didn’t just reflect professionalism; they told stories of support and recovery.

When Professional Cleaning Becomes a Necessity in Home Care
In the home care setting, it’s not uncommon to encounter circumstances where a professional cleanup is essential before home care can even begin. Hoarding, excessive clutter, and unsanitary conditions can delay or prevent the implementation of a safe care plan.
One scenario that stood out to our team was the challenge of supporting clients on blood thinners who experience falls. Even minor injuries can result in significant blood loss that contaminates flooring, furniture, or walls. In other cases, incontinence, illness, or inability to maintain food storage areas may lead to serious health hazards.
Early Warning Signs That May Require Biohazard Intervention
Understanding the signs that suggest a need for professional cleaning is important, too.
Here are a few red flags that may indicate it’s time to call for help:
- Recurring incontinence (human or pet-related) that impacts floors or furniture
- Unattended blood from injuries, especially on carpet or porous surfaces
- Unclean refrigerators, stoves, or kitchens that pose food safety risks
- Extreme clutter or hoarding that blocks access or creates tripping hazards
- Strong odors or visible signs of biological waste
These conditions can be overwhelming for families to manage alone. Bio-One’s trained technicians step in with empathy and efficiency, ensuring the space is cleaned and restored to a liveable, safe standard.
Planning, Even When You Can’t
While trauma cleanups often arise unexpectedly, having a plan or, at the very least, knowing who to call, makes a world of difference. For example, a family caring for a loved one with advanced cancer may find themselves overwhelmed with both medical and environmental needs. In such cases, Bio-One can:
- Sanitize key areas to reduce the risk of infection
- Remove contaminated materials safely
- Dispose of medical waste
- Give caregivers the ability to focus on emotional and physical support
These services ensure that homes remain a healing space, not a hazardous one.
