Hospice care is a gift: Choosing comfort, dignity and quality of life with Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health.

Hospice care is often misunderstood. Too many families see it as a last resort—something to turn to only when there’s “nothing else to do.” But at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we see it differently. Hospice is not about giving up. It’s about choosing how to live.

Hospice care is a gift—a chance to focus on what truly matters when time is short. It’s about comfort, dignity, and presence. It’s about saying yes to meaningful moments and no to unnecessary suffering.

“Everyday matters,” says the Pemi-Baker team. “Our mission is to help patients live fully and comfortably, on their own terms, surrounded by people who care.”

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health offers expert medical support, pain management, emotional and spiritual care, and 24/7 access to a compassionate team who truly listens. The focus is on making each day the best it can be—at home, where patients feel most at peace.

Family members often describe a profound sense of relief once hospice begins. They no longer feel alone. Questions are answered. Symptoms are managed. And every detail—from medications to emotional support—is handled with deep respect and compassion.

Hospice is not just for the final days or hours. In fact, reaching out early allows patients and their families to get the most benefit from services. Choosing hospice early gives everyone more time to plan, connect, and find comfort in each other.

If you think you or someone you love might be ready for hospice, don’t wait. A simple phone call can make all the difference. The Pemi-Baker team is ready to guide you through your options, no pressure, just support.

“People often tell us, ‘I wish we’d called sooner,’” the team adds. “Hospice can bring calm, clarity, and connection during an incredibly difficult time.”

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!

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.

You give of yourselves day & night without end!

To the Pemi-Baker Hospice Team--Words really can't express my feelings-

Your help during one of the most difficult times of my life is SO appreciated. I'm so grateful that because of you, Doug was able to get his wish not to spend the last of his days in a hospital, but at home with those of us who loved him.

And to be constantly reassured that if I needed anything you would be there-oh my gosh-ANYTIME! Well, you people need to know how much you are appreciated. You give of yourselves day & night without end! God Bless you and thank you!

“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.
