Providing compassionate in-home and out-patient care in Plymouth, NH

October is Liver Awareness Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Promotes Liver Health and Support at Home.

This October, during Liver Awareness Month, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health reminds our community how important it is to care for one of the body’s hardest-working organs — the liver. The liver plays a major role in keeping us healthy, yet liver disease often develops quietly.Pemi-Baker Nurse at home with Jaundice patient

Conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer can affect anyone, but early detection and healthy daily habits can make a big difference. Eating a balanced diet, limiting alcohol, staying active, and maintaining a healthy weight are simple steps that go a long way toward protecting your liver.

For those living with liver disease or other chronic illnesses, Pemi-Baker’s home health and hospice teams are here to help. Our caring Registered Nurses, Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs), and Social Workers provide support right at home — helping with symptom management, medications, and comfort care, all while keeping patients connected to their loved ones. It can be physically and emotionally challenging, but the Pemi-Baker team will offer round-the-clock support to manage symptoms, relieve discomfort, and improve quality of life for patients and their families.

How Can Home Health & Hospice Care Help? 

  • Symptom management: Liver disease can cause pain, swelling, nausea, and difficulty eating. The Pemi-Baker team will help manage these symptoms with medications and other therapies, so you can be more comfortable.
  • Emotional support: Living with liver disease can be overwhelming and stressful. The Pemi-Baker team will work with you and your family to offer emotional and psychological support. This might include talking through fears or concerns or connecting you with counseling services.
  • Coordination of care: You’ll likely have many doctors involved in your care, such as liver specialists (hepatologists), surgeons, and primary care doctors. The Pemi-Baker team will help coordinate your treatment, ensuring everyone works together to meet your needs.
  • Help with decisions: There are often complicated decisions to be made about your care. The Pemi-Baker team will explain your options, answer your questions, and help you make decisions that align with your goals and values.

“We’re honored to help people live safely and comfortably at home,” said a Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director. “Our goal is to make sure no one has to face illness alone.”

Celebrating Top Score in National Hospice Quality Report

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates Top Score in National Hospice Quality Report.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is excited to share some wonderful news with our community: we’ve received the highest possible score—10 out of 10—on the Hospice Care Index (HCI) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). HCI score for Pemi-Baker Hospice 10 out of 10

The HCI looks at how well Hospices care for their patients and families, measuring things like:

  • How much nursing care patients receive each day, including weekends
  • Whether the patient receives consistent nursing visits, without long gaps.
  • Whether the Hospice provided increased frequency of visits as the patient neared end of life.
  • How consistently the Hospice assessed important things on admission, such as whether the patient is experiencing pain or shortness of breath.

Earning a perfect score means that our team is delivering care at the very highest level across all of these areas.

“It takes every one of us keeping our efforts up over the entire year to make something like this happen. I see how devoted our Hospice team is every day I’m here. It’s very nice to see it reflected in this data as well.”– Ernest Roy, Quality Director

For more than 50 years, Pemi-Baker has been caring for our neighbors as the oldest VNA in Grafton County. Our staff are not only trained professionals—they are also members of this community, deeply committed to supporting families with comfort, dignity, and compassion.

This recognition is a proud moment for our hospice team, but more importantly, it reflects our promise to the people we serve: to be there when it matters most.

Don’t wait to ask about how our compassionate staff can help your loved ones with the Gift of Hospice Care. To qualify for hospice care patients, families and providers can refer to the program if the patient’s condition is life limiting and the patient is seeking symptom management support at home or in a nursing home/hospital. Our focus is on providing comfort to patients and support to families, with our team available 24/7 to address any concerns. The call is free, and our professionals are ready to assist you!

Grief & Loss Support Group Series Starting September 23rd, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Announces Upcoming ‘Grief & Loss Support Group’ Series Starting September 23rd, 2025.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is pleased to announce the next offering of its Grief & Loss Support Group, beginning Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025, at the Plymouth Senior Center. The focus for the group will be “The Presence of an Absence.” Free Grief & Loss Support groups offered at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

In whatever losses we experience in our lives, someone or something that has been there for us is no longer present and available. Our grief and mourning is initially directed to feeling the absence of that presence. Oddly enough, growing through the sadness and sorrow brought on by our loss, includes recognizing that absence is a genuine reality in itself that invites our attention.

Some specialists in grief studies speak of welcoming as friends or guests the range of emotions and feelings that came into our lives with the loss. Others suggest embracing and learning to love these feelings. This is certainly a challenge that we might not want to even consider. It might be compared to looking into a black hole in the universe or the rabbit hole Alice fell down into Wonderland.

We will think about such things as emptiness, numbness, and feeling disconnected. The exploration, however, might carry us along another step in coming to terms with a different realm of reality as we process our experiences of grieving and mourning. It will not erase our loss or remove our grief, but we may continue to discover companions along the way who are enduring similar responses.

The group will meet weekly on Tuesdays: September 23rd, 30th, October 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 noon. Sessions will be held in the upstairs art room of the Plymouth Regional Senior Center (8 Depot Street, Plymouth), accessible by elevator. Participants needing a parking slip should plan to arrive by 10:15 AM to obtain one at the front desk.

There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is required. To sign up, please contact Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator, by email at gtillson@pbhha.org or by phone at 603-536-2232 (voicemail available).

Each session is structured around open dialogue rather than a rigid syllabus. While broad topics guide the group, the true value comes from the shared experiences and honest conversations among participants. Handouts may be provided to spark reflection, but the focus is on personal connection and support.

This group is inclusive of many kinds of loss—not just the death of a loved one. Whether you’re dealing with the end of a relationship, the loss of a pet, job, home, or other life changes, this space is for you.

“We recognize that grief is deeply personal, and we strive to provide a welcoming environment where all forms of loss are respected and validated,” said Tillson.

Encouraging Families to Seek Hospice Care Early

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Encourages Families to Seek Hospice Care Earlier for Better Quality of Life.

Many families wait too long to consider hospice care, missing the opportunity for their loved ones to receive the comfort, dignity, and support they deserve. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health wants to clear up common questions about hospice so more people can benefit sooner.

What is Hospice?
Hospice is specialized care for people with a life-limiting illness, focusing on comfort and quality of life rather than curative treatments. Hospice addresses the whole person—physical, emotional, and spiritual needs—and provides support for the entire family. It’s about living well in the time you have.

Who Pays for Hospice?
Hospice is covered 100% by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. This includes medications related to the hospice diagnosis, medical equipment, supplies, and the services of the hospice care team. There is no financial burden for eligible patients and families.

When Should You Consider Hospice?
Many think hospice is only for the final days of life, but in reality, patients and families can—and should—access hospice earlier. You may want to consider hospice if you or your loved one:

  • Has a serious illness with a prognosis of six months or less if the disease follows its usual course
  • Is experiencing more frequent hospitalizations or ER visits
  • Is feeling increased pain, weakness, or difficulty with daily activities
  • Is no longer benefiting from aggressive treatments or chooses to focus on comfort

Importantly, you do not need to be homebound to receive hospice. Services can be provided wherever you live—your home, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home.Pemi-Baker Nurse with couple on couch

What Happens When You Call Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health?
When you call us at 603-536-2232, you’ll speak with a caring professional who will:

  1. Answer your questions about hospice eligibility and services
  2. Arrange a free, no-obligation assessment—often within 48 hours
  3. Coordinate with your physician to confirm hospice appropriateness and start services quickly

How We Help You and Your Family
Our hospice team is made up of nurses, aides, social workers, spiritual counselors, trained volunteers, and bereavement specialists. Together, we provide:

  • Expert pain and symptom management
  • Medications, medical supplies, and equipment delivered to your door
  • Emotional and spiritual support for patients and families
  • Respite care to give family caregivers a needed break
  • 24/7 on-call nurse support for urgent needs
  • Ongoing grief and bereavement services for loved ones

By starting hospice earlier, patients often experience improved comfort, less anxiety, and more meaningful time with family. Families feel supported, prepared, and empowered, rather than overwhelmed in a crisis.

Welcome Elizabeth Testa, LICSW and Gretchen Smith, RN

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health proudly announces two new additions to its growing team, strengthening its mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to patients and families throughout the region.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home HEalth new employees
left to right: Gretchen Smith, RN, Clinical Manager, Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director, Liz Testa, LICSW, Medical Social Worker

Elizabeth (Liz) Testa, LICSW, has joined the organization full-time as a medical social worker for both home care and hospice patients. Liz brings over two decades of experience working with diverse patient populations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Her wide-ranging background includes supporting teenagers in dropout prevention programs, providing care in intensive care units, telemetry, emergency rooms, the VA system, nursing homes, and home hospice care.

“Throughout my career, I’ve done a little bit of everything,” said Liz. “But I fell in love with hospice from day one. I’m honored to support families at one of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. I believe deeply in walking alongside patients and families on this emotional, often unpredictable journey.”

Prior to Pemi-Baker, Liz served at Tufts Care at Home in Lowell, MA, where she was the sole social worker covering a large territory across southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. After spending hours on the road every day, Liz sought a change—one that brought her closer to home and back to the community roots she values.

“I’d heard great things about Pemi-Baker as a community-based agency,” she added. “I hope my 20-plus years of experience can support patients, families, and my colleagues as we continue to look for ways to improve care and make things easier for the people we serve.”

Liz is guided by the words of Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Joining Liz is Gretchen Smith, RN, who steps in as Pemi-Baker’s new Clinical Manager. Gretchen comes to the role with a decade of nursing experience, primarily in long-term care, and a lifelong dedication to guiding and supporting others.

“Nursing is actually my second career,” Gretchen shared. “Before this, I trained horses and taught riding for over 20 years. The skill sets overlap more than people might think—patience, trust, clear communication. Interestingly, several of my riding students became nurses, too.”

Gretchen describes her leadership style as “supportive guidance” and finds inspiration in the African philosophy of Ubuntu: “I am because we are.” She is relocating to the area and sees herself as a modern-day version of the nurses in Call the Midwife—providing care with warmth and compassion in people’s homes.

“As our communities age, more people will choose to stay at home surrounded by what’s familiar,” said Gretchen. “My guiding principle is simple: the ‘grandma test.’ Is the care I’m providing good enough for my own grandmother? If the answer is yes, I know I’m doing right by my patients.”

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is excited to welcome Liz and Gretchen and looks forward to the dedication and heart they bring to patients, families, and the entire community.

July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Offers Compassionate Support Every Step of the Way.

July marks Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to rare but serious cancers that affect thousands of individuals and families each year. At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll of these diagnoses. That’s why our team of professionals is here to offer comprehensive support, from home health care during treatment to hospice care when the focus shifts to comfort and quality of life.

Sarcoma and bone cancers often require complex and aggressive treatment, followed by careful management of pain, mobility, and mental health. Whether you’re navigating active treatment or facing end-of-life decisions, Pemi-Baker’s experienced care teams are by your side—in your home, in your community, and with heart.Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health nurse with cancer patient, Plymouth, NH

How We Help:

  • Registered Nurses monitor symptoms, manage pain, administer medications, and coordinate with your doctors. Their clinical knowledge ensures you’re safe and as comfortable as possible throughout your care journey.
  • Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs) offer essential day-to-day support, including help with bathing, dressing, and other personal care tasks—delivered with dignity and respect.
  • Physical Therapists work to maintain strength and mobility, helping patients stay independent for as long as possible. Whether it’s regaining the ability to move more freely or simply managing fatigue, therapy can make a big difference in quality of life.
  • Medical Social Workers provide counseling and connect families with community resources. They help manage the emotional weight of a cancer diagnosis and support decision-making about care options, insurance, and long-term planning.
  • Spiritual Care Chaplains offer non-denominational support tailored to each individual’s beliefs and needs. For many, this guidance provides peace and meaning during an incredibly difficult time.

“Our interdisciplinary approach ensures that patients and their families never feel alone,” said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “We meet people where they are—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our goal is to ease suffering and improve the quality of life, every single day.”

Sarcoma and bone cancers don’t just affect the patient. They ripple outward, impacting families, caregivers, and communities. Pemi-Baker is proud to be a steady, compassionate partner throughout the journey.

If you or someone you love is living with sarcoma, bone cancer, or any life-limiting illness, Pemi-Baker is here to help. To learn more about our hospice and home health services, please call us directly for a confidential conversation.

Preventing Falls During National Osteoporosis Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Observes National Osteoporosis Month.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health joins the nation in recognizing National Osteoporosis Month this May. As advocates for senior health and well-being, Pemi-Baker emphasizes the importance of awareness and prevention in reducing the risk of osteoporosis-related fracture due to falls among older adults.

According to recent data, falls are one of the leading causes of injury and mortality among older adults, with a significant portion of these falls occurring within the comfort of one’s own home. Studies show that one in four Americans aged 65 and older falls each year, and falls are responsible for more than 95% of hip fractures among older adults. As we age, the risk of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, increases, further exacerbating the likelihood of fractures from falling. Prevent falls in the home, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Pemi-Baker’s team of Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Physical Therapists (PTs) underscores the importance of identifying and addressing common hazards in the home that contribute to falls. Among the regular factors that can heighten the risk of falls are:

  • slippery floors
  • inadequate lighting
  • loose rugs
  • cluttered pathways and stairs
  • poorly designed furniture arrangements

“Prevention is key when it comes to reducing the risk of falls among older adults,” says Ernest Roy, PT, DPT and Quality Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By understanding the common hazards present in the home environment, individuals can take proactive measures to create safer living spaces and minimize the risk of falls.”

Pemi-Baker encourages older adults and their caregivers to work closely with healthcare professionals to implement preventative measures such as:

  • installing grab bars in bathrooms
  • securing loose carpets and getting rid of throw rugs
  • improving lighting conditions by adding motion night lights
  • participating in strength and balance exercises to enhance mobility and stability
  • education on proper footwear, vision enhancement, and medication management
  • implementation of assistive devices and adaptive equipment to support mobility

Throughout National Osteoporosis Month, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health remains dedicated to raising awareness about osteoporosis prevention and promoting the well-being of older adults in our community.

Don’t wait to ask about how our compassionate staff can help your loved ones. To qualify for home health care, a person must have a physician’s order and demonstrate a need for skilled care that can be safely provided at home. Our focus is on providing comfort to patients and support to families, with our team available 24/7 to address any concerns. The call is free, and our professionals are ready to assist you! Call us today at 603-536-2232 to learn more.

Grief & Loss Support Group “I Don’t Want To Let Go”

Free Grief & Loss Support Group Offered by Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health “I Don’t Want To Let Go.”

As part of its service to our various communities, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health’s next Grief & Loss Support Group will look at the commonly given (and commonly misunderstood) advice offered to persons in grief “to let go”.  To the freshly-bereaved person, this may be heard as a directive to forget a loved one they have recently lost through death.  It can, therefore, be misunderstood as a betrayal to the loved one and a blotting out of a treasured and valuable relationship.

This six-session series, “I Don’t Want To Let Go”, will look especially at honoring the ongoing emotional attachments we have to those we have lost while considering the challenges to possibly beginning to grow beyond the sadness, confusion, and loneliness that factor into mourning.  As always, we stress the notions that there is no right or wrong way to grieve and that each person moves through their loss in their own deeply personal and individual way.  We make the effort to assure that the group is a safe emotional space for participants to be able to share tender and hurtful feelings in an understanding and supportive setting.

This group series will begin on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 10:30am.  We will continue to meet for five more Tuesdays after that.  We meet at the Plymouth Area Regional Senior Center in its upstairs Art Room, which is accessible by elevator.  Participants are asked to be present for the first session and should arrive on time.  If you need a parking slip for your car, please stop at the receptionist’s desk by 10:15am so you have time to get your parking slip and park your car so that you can arrive on time for the group meeting.  The group session ends no later than 12:00 noon.

There is no cost to participate in the group, though you will need to pre-register by contacting Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator, by phone at (603) 536-2232 or by email at gtillson@pbhha.org so we know how many to prepare for.

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.

We realize that in order for you to treat those who may be ill, you are putting you're own lives and even you're own families lives in danger, and that is truly a courageous and honorable thing to do. We want you to know that it does not go unnoticed. Thank you all for all that you do!
