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

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health will host a free community education night focused on Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) on Wednesday, November 4, from 5:00–6:30 p.m. at the Speare Hospital Boulder Point Community Room, 103 Boulder Point Drive.

The educational program will feature Dr. Kristi Saunders, Hospice Medical Director for Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, and Rebecca Brown, Director of the New Hampshire Alliance for End of Life Options.

The evening will provide an opportunity for community members, patients, families, caregivers and clinicians to learn more about Medical Aid in Dying and ask questions in an open, respectful setting. Topics will include:

  • What is Medical Aid in Dying?
  • Where is MAiD currently legal?
  • Who may qualify?
  • What does the process involve?
  • How does it work?
  • What are the associated costs?
  • What should patients, families and healthcare professionals know?
  • How does MAiD fit within the broader range of end-of-life care and options?

Medical Aid in Dying is a complex and often deeply personal end-of-life topic. The goal of the evening is to provide factual information and an opportunity for thoughtful discussion. New Hampshire’s laws and policies concerning end-of-life care can be complex, and the discussion will distinguish MAiD from other end-of-life decisions, such as hospice care and the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment.

This event is free and open to everyone. Community members and healthcare professionals are welcome, and attendees are encouraged to bring their questions.

Hospice care with Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

“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.

“Triple bypass and still going strong!”

I was a mess after having a triple bypass BUT the people at Pemi-Baker helped me so much. Each one were kind, caring, helpful and very sincere with their care. I am so grateful for this service. I did have family members that helped me through this time, but I really needed the love and care that the people at Pemi-Baker gave me. I miss them but am well and in Cardiac Rehab now. Thank you all!!!!

“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.

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.
