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

Celebrating National Spiritual Care Week

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Spiritual Care Week.

From October 19th to October 25th, 2025, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health joins healthcare organizations nationwide in celebrating National Spiritual Care Week. This year’s theme, “40 Years of Spiritual Support,” commemorates four decades of recognizing the vital role spiritual care plays in promoting hope, healing, and wholeness for individuals and families during life’s most challenging times. National Spiritual Care Week

Spiritual care supports a person’s inner well-being, focusing on their questions of meaning, purpose, and hope—especially during illness, loss, or times of transition. It is a compassionate, person-centered approach that respects all beliefs, whether religious, spiritual, or non-religious. Spiritual care offers a safe space to explore and make sense of life experiences, often through active listening, compassionate presence, prayer, meaningful rituals, or connecting people with resources like sacred texts, supportive communities, or nature—all aimed at enhancing holistic well-being.

At Pemi-Baker, we are proud to honor our Hospice Chaplain, Guy Tillson, whose dedication and empathy embody the true spirit of this work. Guy collaborates closely with our hospice and home health teams to support patients, caregivers, and families—meeting each person where they are, with respect and compassion. His presence helps individuals find comfort, peace, and understanding at times when those gifts mean the most.

“Guy’s gentle guidance and caring presence remind us that spiritual care is about far more than religion—it’s about connection, meaning, and hope,” says Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “He offers comfort to patients and their families, helping them navigate difficult emotions and find strength in their own beliefs and values.”

In addition to his work with patients, Guy leads Caregiver Support and Bereavement Support Groups at Pemi-Baker’s Boulder Point office and the Plymouth Regional Senior Center. These gatherings provide a safe, welcoming environment where participants can share experiences, find solace, and connect with others walking similar paths.

As we celebrate 40 years of Spiritual Care Week, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health invites our community to recognize the profound importance of spiritual care providers and chaplains in healthcare. Their compassion and presence uplift the human spirit, helping people discover peace, purpose, and resilience—no matter where they are on life’s journey.

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 National Physical Therapy Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Physical Therapy Month with Exceptional Rehab Outcomes!National Physical Therapy month

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to highlight the vital role our Physical and Occupational Therapists play in helping patients recover and thrive after joint replacement surgeries.

Returning home after surgery can be overwhelming, but our expert therapy team ensures that recovery begins the moment you step through your front door. Whether you’ve had a hip, knee, shoulder, or other joint procedure, early in-home rehabilitation is a key part of a successful recovery—and at Pemi-Baker, we bring that care directly to you.

“Our therapists specialize in home-based recovery plans that are tailored to each individual’s needs,” says Gretchen Smith, Clinical Manager at Pemi-Baker. “Our goal is to restore mobility, confidence, and independence as quickly and safely as possible. Early rehab at home reduces complications and gets patients back into their lifestyle faster.”

The results speak for themselves. In 2025, Pemi-Baker’s total joint replacement patients experienced excellent outcomes:

Total Knee Replacement Outcomes (2025):

  • Average of just 6 therapy visits
  • 134% average improvement in walking speed
  • Timed Up & Go test improvement of 15 seconds
  • Zero falls under our care
  • 100% of patients safely remained at home
  • Average knee bend of 107 degrees upon discharge

Total Hip Replacement Outcomes (2025):

  • Average of 6 therapy visits
  • 130% average improvement in walking speed
  • Timed Up & Go test improvement of 9.2 seconds
  • Zero falls under our care
  • All patients safely remained at home after discharge

“These are more than just numbers,” says Smith. “They represent real people getting back to gardening, hiking, playing with their grandchildren—doing the things they love.”

Pemi-Baker’s dedicated team of licensed Physical and Occupational Therapists provides one-on-one care that includes strength and balance training, pain management, fall prevention, mobility improvement, and education for patients and caregivers.Home physical therapy with Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Choosing in-home rehab with Pemi-Baker means:

  • No need for frequent travel to outpatient clinics
  • Personalized care in a familiar environment
  • Faster return to daily activities
  • Proven safety and effectiveness

As we recognize National Physical Therapy Month, we also celebrate the hardworking professionals who make these recoveries possible. Their skill, compassion, and commitment to excellence truly change lives.

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! Call us today at 603-536-2232 to learn more.

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.

Next Volunteer Training Program – Beginning September 10th

Join Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health’s Next Volunteer Training Program – Beginning September 10th.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is inviting community members to take part in its next free volunteer training program, beginning Wednesday, September 10, 2025. Sessions will be held weekly on Wednesdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Pemi-Baker offices, 101 Boulder Drive in Plymouth. The five-week training will wrap up on October 15, 2025, with a pause on October 1.

This program is more than a class—it’s an opportunity to touch lives in powerful and meaningful ways. Volunteers at Pemi-Baker are companions, listeners, and supporters for patients and families navigating some of life’s most difficult moments. From offering a warm presence at the bedside, to helping with errands, to lending a hand with office projects or community events, every volunteer makes a difference.

“Volunteers are the heart of our organization,” says Angie Burke, Volunteer Coordinator. “Their kindness and generosity bring comfort not only to our patients but also to the families who love them. Joining this training means joining a family of caregivers who believe in showing up with compassion.”

Pemi-Baker is especially welcoming male volunteers and those with military service. These volunteers often bring shared experiences that create special connections—particularly with Veteran patients.

No medical background is required—just a caring spirit and a willingness to give a little time. By the end of the program, participants will feel confident and prepared to provide both emotional and practical support, ensuring that patients and families never feel alone.

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.

Special Community Presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice

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.

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

National Write Your Will Month: Complete your Advance Directives

In recognition of National Write Your Will Month this August, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is urging community members to take this important opportunity to complete their ‘living will’ or Advance Directive. This essential document allows individuals to plan for unforeseen circumstances where they might be unable to make their own healthcare decisions due to serious illness or injury.Advance Directive Workshops, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

To assist the community in this vital task, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health will be hosting a series of free workshops at local senior centers in collaboration with the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council. These workshops, scheduled for August are designed to guide attendees through the process of filling out their Advance Directive forms, providing the necessary support and information to ensure that their healthcare preferences are clearly documented.

Liz Testa, LICSW, Medical Social Worker at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, emphasized the importance of these preparations. “An Advance Directive is more than just a form; it’s a way to ensure that your healthcare wishes are respected, even when you may not be able to voice them yourself. By planning ahead, you can relieve your loved ones of the burden of making tough decisions during stressful times. We encourage everyone, regardless of age or health, to take the time to complete their Advance Directive this National Write Your Will Month.”

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is committed to supporting individuals and families in making informed decisions about their healthcare. The upcoming workshops will provide a welcoming environment for participants to ask questions and receive personalized assistance from experienced professionals.

Workshop Dates & Locations:

  • August 7th, 2025: Orford Senior Services, Dartmouth College Highway, Orford, 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM
  • August 11th: Plymouth Regional Senior Center, 8 Depot Street, Plymouth, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
  • August 13th: Horse Meadow Senior Center, 91 Horse Meadow Road, North Haverhill, 10:30 AM- 11:30 AM

These sessions are open to all community members, please drop in!

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.

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!
