Celebrating National Home Care & Hospice Month

October 31, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Home Care & Hospice Month: Brightening Lives Every Day.

Each November, the home care and hospice community comes together to recognize National Home Care & Hospice Month, honoring the millions of nurses, therapists, home care aides, social workers, and volunteers who bring hope and healing to patients and families across the country.

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, this month is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible team of healthcare professionals who brighten lives every day by delivering compassionate, high-quality care in the comfort and familiarity of home.

“Whether our patients are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or navigating the final stages of life, our team provides the support and guidance they need to live with dignity, comfort, and independence,” said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director. “We are deeply grateful for our dedicated staff, whose kindness and expertise make an extraordinary difference in the lives of those we serve.”

In addition to our nurses, therapists, social workers, and aides, we extend heartfelt gratitude to the employees who work tirelessly behind the scenes—in administration, finance, quality control, and support services. Their dedication ensures that every aspect of care runs smoothly and that our patients and families receive the very best experience possible.

Understanding the Impact of Home Health and Hospice Care

Many families aren’t sure when it’s time to seek home health or hospice services. That’s why Pemi-Baker’s clinical team looks beyond the obvious—to help guide patients and families along their healthcare journey with compassion and clarity.

Home Health Care provides skilled medical care at home for patients who are:

  • Managing chronic conditions such as COPD, diabetes, or heart failure
  • Recovering from surgery, stroke, or a serious medical event
  • In need of wound care or help managing medications
  • Adjusting to mobility challenges or at risk for falls

Hospice Care, on the other hand, focuses on comfort and quality of life for those with life-limiting illnesses by providing:

  • Expert pain and symptom management
  • Emotional, spiritual, and bereavement support for patients and families
  • Specialized programs for veterans
  • Volunteer companionship and assistance

Shared Goals, Shared Heart–While home health and hospice care serve different needs, both are:

  • Delivered wherever a patient calls home
  • Tailored to individual goals and preferences
  • Designed to enhance safety, independence, and comfort
  • Lower in cost than hospital or facility-based care
  • Accessible through a physician’s referral

  • 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

Special Community Presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice

August 21, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Announces Special Community Presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice Care.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association and the Plymouth Regional Senior Center, is hosting a free, in-person community presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice Care on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center, 8 Depot Street, Plymouth, NH.

This special program will provide attendees with essential information about Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia, the importance of early detection, and the wide range of resources available through the Alzheimer’s Association. The presentation will also cover hospice care services offered by Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, helping families understand when and how to access these vital supports.

The session will be led by two distinguished presenters:

  • Melissa Grenier, Regional Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association, will share expertise on the signs and stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia, how to seek a diagnosis, and the benefits of early planning.
  • Kristi Saunders, MD, Hospice Medical Director for Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, will explain how hospice care can provide comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals with dementia and their families.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, affecting millions of individuals and families nationwide. With no known cure, early awareness and access to resources are critical for both patients and caregivers. The Alzheimer’s Association offers a wealth of programs, support groups, and educational materials to help families navigate the challenges of dementia.

Hospice care, often misunderstood, is not just for the final days of life. For individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, hospice can provide months of compassionate care, symptom management, and emotional support—allowing loved ones to focus on meaningful moments together. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health brings decades of experience serving central New Hampshire, offering skilled, compassionate care in the comfort of home.

“This program is a great opportunity for community members to get clear, accurate information about Alzheimer’s and dementia,” said Melissa Grenier. “We want families to feel empowered with knowledge and to know they are not alone.”

Dr. Saunders added, “Hospice care is about living fully, even in the face of serious illness. We want people to understand the benefits of hospice for those with dementia, and how it can help patients and families alike.”

The event is free and open to the public. No registration is necessary—simply come with your questions and a willingness to learn. Attendees will leave with practical insights, resource information, and a better understanding of the support available in their community.

For questions or more information, please call Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health at 603-536-2232.

The Gift of Hospice Care

July 31, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to announce the Gift of Hospice Care, a heartfelt initiative aimed at educating the community about the profound benefits of opting for hospice care early as loved ones age. This initiative underscores the compassionate, comprehensive support available to patients and their families during life’s final stages.

  • Opting for hospice care is a compassionate choice, not a negative one.
  • Selecting hospice care is a loving decision, not something to fear.
  • Embracing hospice care is a blessing, not a burden.

Hospice care provides a holistic approach to end-of-life care, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients. By choosing hospice care early, patients receive personalized medical care designed to manage pain and symptoms, allowing them to live their remaining days with dignity and comfort.

Families also experience significant benefits when hospice care is initiated early. They gain access to a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including nurses, social workers, chaplains and volunteers who provide guidance and emotional support. This network of support helps families navigate the complexities of end-of-life care, offering respite and ensuring that they are not alone during this challenging time.Dr. Kristi Saunders, Hospice Medical Director, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

 

Additionally, early hospice care can lead to better quality of life for both patients and their loved ones. It enables more time to create meaningful memories, facilitates important conversations, and provides peace of mind knowing that compassionate, expert care is readily available day or night.

“Our mission is to ensure that patients and families receive the best possible care and support during one of life’s most natural transitions,” said Dr. Kristi Saunders, MD, Hospice Medical Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By choosing hospice care early, families can focus on spending quality time together while we take care of the rest.”

Benefits of Home Health Care and Hospice Care for COPD Patients

July 23, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Highlights the Benefits of Home Health Care and Hospice Care for COPD Patients

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious condition characterized by damaged airways in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, low oxygen levels in the blood, persistent coughing, pain, weight loss, and an increased risk of lung infections. The emotional toll of COPD is significant, often resulting in depression, anxiety, insomnia, and social isolation.

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the complexities of managing COPD and are committed to providing comprehensive support through our home health care, palliative care, and hospice care services. Nurse helping COPD patient, Pemi-Baker Hospice & HOme Health, Plymouth, NH

Home Health Care: Enhancing Quality of Life at Home

Home health care offers personalized medical care in the comfort of a patient’s home. For COPD patients, this means access to skilled nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy tailored to their specific needs. Our team works closely with pulmonologists and other healthcare providers to ensure seamless care coordination. 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. The benefits include:

  • Improved Symptom Management: Regular monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans help manage symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath and fatigue, more effectively.
  • Reduced Hospital Visits: Early intervention and continuous care reduce the likelihood of emergency hospital visits.
  • Patient and Family Education: Teaching patients and their families about COPD management empowers them to take control of their health. Counseling and support are offered to cope with depression, anxiety, and other emotional challenges.

Hospice Care: Compassionate End-of-Life Support

For COPD patients in the advanced stages of the disease, hospice care offers compassionate support aimed at enhancing the quality of life. Our hospice services provide:

  • Pain and Symptom Management: Ensuring patients remain comfortable and pain-free.
  • Emotional and Spiritual Support: Offering counseling and support for patients and their families during this challenging time.
  • 24/7 Availability: Providing around-the-clock care and support to address any urgent needs.

The Importance of Comprehensive Care for COPD Patients

While pulmonologists play a crucial role in the medical treatment of COPD, the management of symptoms and stress associated with the disease requires a comprehensive approach. At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we believe in the power of integrative care that combines medical treatment with home health, palliative, and hospice services to offer the best possible outcomes for COPD patients.

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.

Pemi-Baker provided very good home therapy. All their therapists were pleasant, helpful in offering suggestions for better functioning after surgery, and practiced good health protocols. They were also very prompt in showing up for scheduled appointments.

“Your generosity with your time and your loving care is appreciated more than you know.”

Thank you to everyone who played a role in taking care of my mother and giving her the freedom of remaining home while suffering from dementia. Your generosity with your time and your loving care is appreciated more than you know. 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.

“Pemi-Baker Hospice services provided kind, professional, competent services every step of the way-and even vaccinated us all for Covid/19!””

Our primary nurse, Fred, was outstanding, and others who filled in (Cathy, Penny, Colleen) 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.
