Advance Directive Workshops Offered for Health Care Decision Day

Have you ever wondered how to talk to your loved ones about what medical care you would—or wouldn’t—want in a medical crisis? Has your health care provider encouraged you to have these important conversations and document your wishes?

In recognition of Health Care Decision Day, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, in partnership with the Grafton County Senior Center, is offering two free Advance Directive workshops to support individuals in planning for future health care decisions.

Advance care planning is important for every adult age 18 and older. A serious illness or unexpected accident can leave anyone unable to communicate their wishes. This can happen to young adults, parents, or otherwise healthy individuals—such as someone involved in a car accident, experiencing a sudden medical emergency like a stroke, or facing complications during surgery. Having an advance directive in place ensures your voice is heard, even if you cannot speak for yourself.

These workshops are designed to guide participants through the process of advance care planning in a supportive, neutral environment. Attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on and identify the personal values, beliefs, and goals that shape their health care decisions. An experienced facilitator will explain the importance of sharing these wishes with others, ensuring that decisions can be honored if an individual is ever unable to speak for themselves.

Participants will also receive a free Advance Directive form and assistance in completing it.Advance Directive Workshops, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

  • April 20, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Free Workshop: Wellness, Health & Happiness as We Age

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health invites community members to attend a free educational workshop, “Wellness, Health & Happiness as We Age,” on Thursday, January 22nd from 6:00–7:00 pm at the Waterville Valley Recreation Department, Multipurpose Room, located at 11 Noon Peak Road, Waterville Valley, NH.

The workshop will be led by Dr. Kristi Saunders, Hospice Medical Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, who will explore how true health is more than the absence of illness—it also includes physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The discussion will focus on aging well, maintaining balance, and finding joy and meaning at every stage of life.

Dr. Saunders and Gretchen Smith, RN, will also explain the important differences between an Advance Directive and a POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) form. Participants will learn the advantages and benefits of each and how these tools help clearly communicate personal healthcare wishes.

An open Q & A session will follow, providing attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful conversations about aging, wellness, and living a joyful life.

This event is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

For more information about this workshop or other educational programs, please contact Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health: 603-536-2232.

National Home Health and Hospice Month: “Courageous Conversations”

National Home Health, Hospice and Palliative Care Month: “Courageous Conversations” – Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Advocates for Open Dialogue.

November is National Home Health, Hospice and Palliative Care Month, and Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is joining the nationwide effort to raise awareness and promote “Courageous Conversations” about end-of-life care. This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of initiating open dialogues within your inner circle of friends, family, and care providers about your healthcare preferences and choices. These conversations can be a powerful way to ensure that your wishes are respected and honored.

In a world that often shies away from discussing topics related to mortality and end-of-life decisions, “Courageous Conversations” encourage individuals to break the silence and engage in meaningful discussions. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health believes that starting these conversations is an act of love and compassion, benefiting both you and your loved ones in the long run.

Initiating such discussions can be daunting, but it is an essential step toward ensuring that your values and preferences are understood and respected. Here are some suggestions for starting “Courageous Conversations”:

  1. “I know this isn’t a concern for us now, but I was thinking…” – This gentle approach allows you to express your thoughts without making it an immediate issue, giving your loved ones time to process and respond.
  2. “Remember when our (name of friend or family member) was sick/in the hospital? I’m wondering what you would have wanted if it were you.” – Relating your question to a shared experience can help open the conversation and make it feel less intimidating.
  3. Review and Update Advance Directives – Ensure your healthcare directives accurately reflect your current wishes and values. It’s crucial to keep these documents up-to-date, especially if there have been changes in your life circumstances or health status.
  4. The 5 D’s: Recognize that certain life events, such as Divorce, Death, Diagnosis, Decline, or Decade (significant milestone birthdays), can trigger the need to revisit your healthcare decisions. Use these events as reminders to update your preferences and inform your loved ones.

Having clarity about what is important to you in terms of your medical care can significantly ease the burden on those who may need to make decisions on your behalf. It provides them with the reassurance that they are acting in accordance with your wishes.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health offers support and guidance for those who want to initiate “Courageous Conversations” with their loved ones. Our team of healthcare professionals is available to provide information, resources, and advice on advance care planning and end-of-life decisions.

This National Home Health, Hospice and Palliative Care Month, we encourage everyone to take the first step in having “Courageous Conversations” about their healthcare preferences. By doing so, we can ensure that each individual’s dignity and choices are respected, providing peace of mind for both patients and their families.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Promotes ‘Write Your Will Month’ Emphasizing the Importance of Advance Directive Forms

Advance Directives, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NHPemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is excited to announce the observance of ‘Write Your Will Month’ throughout August, urging individuals to consider not only their financial wills but also their living wills, or Advance Directive Forms. The organization is dedicated to raising awareness about the significance of planning for one’s future healthcare decisions to ensure peace of mind and a smooth transition during challenging times.

A will is a crucial legal document that outlines how a person’s assets and possessions will be distributed after their passing. However, alongside financial planning, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health recognizes the importance of preparing an Advance Directive Form, commonly known as a living will. An Advance Directive is a legally binding document that allows individuals to express their medical preferences and appoint a healthcare proxy/agent to make decisions on their behalf if they become unable to communicate.

To support the community in taking proactive steps toward securing their future, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is organizing a free Advance Directive Workshop on August 22nd, from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. The workshop will take place at the Newfound Area Senior Services/Bristol: Bristol United Church of Christ, located at 15 Church Street, Bristol, NH.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of Advance Directives, the elements that constitute a comprehensive living will, and how to designate a trusted healthcare proxy/agent. Pemi-Baker’s social workers will be neutral guides helping you reflect on and identify the values, beliefs and goals that shape the way you make health care decisions. Pemi-Baker’s social workers will also be able to notarize your advance directive upon completion.Susan Varnum, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

“We believe that taking the time to create both financial and living wills is an essential aspect of responsible life planning,” said Susan Varnum, Director of Home Health, Palliative & Hospice Care at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By offering this free Advance Directive Workshop, we hope to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their medical care and ensure that their wishes are respected in any situation.”

To attend the free Advance Directive Workshop, interested individuals are encouraged to pre-register by calling 603-744-8395.

“I would give your hospice team 10 stars if I could!”

They were truly amazing. We called on a Sunday, and they sent someone out that very afternoon to begin care and stayed by our side as Mom's health declined. We are especially grateful for Alexa, who went above and beyond to attend to our mom's needs and support us as caregivers. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate and simply an incredible human to be around. We couldn't have done this without her and will be forever grateful for her care. We also want to acknowledge Gretchen and Dr. Saunders, who guided us through some very challenging moments and took the time to truly listen, support us and answer all of our questions. I cant' say enough about our experience with hospice. We are deeply grateful for their care, compassion and support during this time.

The Rewards of Being a Hospice Volunteer

While I was familiar with Hospice for many years, I only have been a hospice volunteer with Pemi Baker Hospice and Home Health (PBHHH) since October 2021.  When I retired, I began searching for volunteer work that would allow me to give back to my community.  A newsletter from PBHHH arrived in my email announcing training for hospice volunteers.  My family had experienced the need for hospice twice, once in Ohio and again in Florida.  The relief my family and I felt when the hospice volunteers arrived was beyond measure.  I want to bring the same kind of assistance to others.  PBHHH given me that opportunity by providing professional training with knowledgeable nurses, doctors, social workers and other health care professionals.  Their guidance has enabled me to meet the challenges of being s hospice volunteer, and I am very glad that I did it.
