Press Release

July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month

June 25, 2025

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

May 21, 2025

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.

As Volunteer Appreciation Week approaches, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health proudly acknowledges the invaluable contributions of over 20 hospice volunteers who selflessly devote their time and energy to support patients and caregivers in their time of need.Volunteer Appreciation Week, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization, providing compassion, companionship, and practical assistance to those navigating the challenges of end-of-life care. From lending a listening ear to sharing comforting moments, our volunteers play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for our patients and their families.

“Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience and empathy to our hospice program,” said Angie Burke, Volunteer Coordinator at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “Their dedication and generosity truly embody the spirit of compassionate care.”

Volunteers at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health come from all walks of life, motivated by a shared desire to give back to their community. Some have been touched by the support of a hospice volunteer in their own lives and are driven to pay it forward, while others, including veterans, seek to connect with and support fellow veterans in their final journey.

In recognition of the indispensable role our volunteers play, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health invites individuals who are passionate about making a difference to join our upcoming volunteer training program. The FREE, five-week program, running from May 14th to June 18th, offers comprehensive training to prepare volunteers to assist families caring for their loved ones during their final stages of life. With just a few hours a month, volunteers can make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Hospice Volunteer training, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

“Our hospice volunteers provide invaluable support in various ways, whether it’s through companionship, household tasks, or sharing the joy of music and therapy animals,” added Burke. “Their selflessness inspires us all, and we are immensely grateful for their unwavering commitment.”

Join us at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health in honoring and celebrating our remarkable volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation Week and beyond. Together, we can continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those we serve.

Protecting Older Adults from Fall-Related Injuries

September 8, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates Fall Prevention Month This September- Raising Awareness and Taking Action to Protect Older Adults from Fall-Related Injuries.

September is Fall Prevention Month, a critical time to focus on the safety and well-being of our older adult population. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to join this national effort to raise awareness about fall-related injuries, hospitalizations, and their significant impact on quality of life and healthcare costs.Reducing the risk of falls in the home, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four Americans aged 65 and older falls each year. Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries in this age group, leading to over 3 million emergency department visits annually. Beyond the physical injuries, falls can result in a reduced quality of life, with many older adults experiencing a loss of independence and increased fear of falling again.

The financial impact is also staggering. The CDC estimates that falls among older adults cost the U.S. healthcare system over $50 billion each year. These costs include hospitalizations, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation, which often place a significant burden on families and caregivers.

Preventing Falls at Home: Simple Steps for Safety

Many falls can be prevented with simple adjustments to the home environment and proactive health measures. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health encourages individuals and families to consider the following fall prevention strategies:

  • Remove Tripping Hazards: Keep walkways clear of clutter, secure loose rugs with double-sided tape, and immediately clean up spills.
  • Improve Lighting: Ensure all areas of the home are well-lit, especially stairways and bathrooms. Consider installing nightlights in hallways and bedrooms.
  • Install Grab Bars and Handrails: Place grab bars in the bathroom near the toilet and shower, and install handrails on both sides of stairways.
  • Wear Proper Footwear: Encourage the use of shoes with non-slip soles and avoid walking around the house in socks or slippers.
  • Exercise Regularly: Engage in exercises that improve balance and strength, such as Tai Chi, to help prevent falls.

In-Home Assessments by Our Experts

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, our team of Physical and Occupational Therapists is dedicated to helping older adults stay safe in their homes. We offer in-home assessments to identify potential fall hazards and provide personalized recommendations to enhance safety. Our therapists work closely with patients to develop tailored exercise plans that strengthen muscles and improve balance, further reducing the risk of falls.

“As we celebrate Fall Prevention Month, it is vital to recognize the profound impact falls have on older adults and their families,” said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By taking proactive steps, we can prevent falls and ensure our loved ones maintain their independence and quality of life. Our team is here to support the community with expert assessments and care designed to keep everyone safe at home.”

Raising Awareness About Diabetes and Home Health Care Solutions

July 30, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health: Raising Awareness About Diabetes and Home Health Care Solutions.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is committed to raising awareness about diabetes and providing comprehensive care to those affected by this chronic condition. With the number of diabetes cases rising, understanding the disease and knowing the available support options is more important than ever. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Diabetes patient Testing blood sugar

Diabetes is a serious health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body’s cells for use as energy. With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream, which over time can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.

For those who qualify, home health care can be a crucial resource in managing diabetes. Our skilled healthcare professionals at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health provide personalized care plans to help patients manage their condition effectively at home. Our services include:

  • Education and Training: Our nurses educate patients and their families about diabetes management, including medication administration, blood sugar monitoring, and lifestyle changes.
  • Medication Management: Ensuring patients take their medications correctly and on schedule.
  • Nutritional Guidance: Our nurses offer guidance and advice to help manage diabetes through diet.
  • Regular Monitoring: Frequent check-ins to monitor blood sugar levels and overall health, allowing for prompt adjustments to care plans as needed.
  • Support and Counseling: Emotional and psychological support to help patients and their families cope with the challenges of living with diabetes.

For patients who qualify for hospice care, our team provides compassionate end-of-life care that focuses on comfort and quality of life. Our hospice services include pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and assistance with advanced care planning.

Don’t wait to ask about how our compassionate staff can help you or your loved ones living with diabetes. 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!

Who Cares for the Caregivers?

April 23, 2024

On a recent (March 2, 2024) episode of the TV news “CBS Saturday Morning”, veteran correspondent Barry Petersen did a feature piece on the growing phenomenon of family members and friends caring for needful loved ones in their homes. The piece began by focusing on how the COVID pandemic heightened the need for caregivers themselves to have assistance and support. The TV story can be viewed online by Googling “Barry Petersen”.  Petersen himself came to the concern through his own experience, having cared for his wife until her death. He recounted his experience in a book entitled “JAN’S STORY: A love lost to the long goodbye of Alzheimer’s”, available through Amazon.Jans Story book cover

Petersen’s TV feature story interviewed persons engaged with DUET, a Phoenix-based organization committed to providing support to family/at-home caregivers. They do this locally in their area by offering in-person support groups as well as virtual support groups via ZOOM which now extend to fifteen states, Canada, and the Navajo Nation. Their website is duetaz.org. The feature included comments by DUET facilitators as well as group participants.

Some of the statistics are quite surprising. Here in our country, 38 million citizens are involved in family/home-based caring. The financial equivalent of their unpaid work (if it were done by nurses and other healthcare workers) is $600 billion dollars. Family/home-based caregivers often suffer from the stressors of isolation, loneliness, and isolation which can impact them physically as much as would smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Another significant stressor is “ambiguous loss”, caused by the physical presence but psychological absence of the one being care for. The caregiver has no way of knowing how long their caregiving responsibility will last since the patient’s end of life cannot be definitely predicted. The “not knowing” becomes a test of emotional and physical endurance since there is no sense of closure. Add to this the very human (and understandable) reactions of fear, frustration, anger, and guilt and you have a growing population of people who are emotionally hurting.

To assist caregivers in our area, PEMI-BAKER HOSPICE & HOME HEALTH offers an in-person support group which meets on the first Wednesday of every month. The gathering is held in the Conference Room at the agency’s Boulder Point site which can be accessed in the blue/gray building at Health Place. The entrance is right near the beautiful little gazebo and solar panels. Meetings begin at 10:00am and conclude no later than 11:30am. There is no cost to attend. Sessions are facilitated by Guy Tillson, Pemi-Baker’s Hospice Spiritual Counselor and Bereavement Coordinator. Interested persons are asked to pre-register by contacting him at gtillson@pbhha.org or by calling the agency ay 603 536-2232.

“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.

A special thanks goes to Macayla and Colleen, who visited her on a regular basis, and to Lauren who was helpful in connecting us with state services.

The Physical therapists were amazing!

The physical therapists who visited after my total knee replacement were amazing! The communication was excellent. They phoned in advance to confirm their arrival times. Each PT provider was professional, supportive, and guided me through the appropriate exercises necessary in order for me to be ready to leave my house and continue with physical therapy outside the home. I am very grateful.

“Everyone is so helpful, supportive and kind!”

I had two hip replacements within 10 months and the VA referred me to Pemi-Baker for rehab in my home. They were all amazing! I had PTs and OTs help me exercise and strengthen my hips and legs quickly. They also helped me to acquire the equipment such as canes, leg lifters, sock helpers, and walkers to fit each stage of my healing. Call them they will help you!

“Kind, professional, competent services every step of the way”

Our primary nurse, Fred, was outstanding, and others who filled in were wonderful and a credit to your organization. Fred, you were amazing, not only for mom but for my husband and I as well. I will forever be grateful for your support, wisdom, humor and kindness, all along the end of life journey for mom. I am so deeply thankful that circumstances conspired such that mom was able to die at home, and your role made that time as seamless as it could be made.

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.
