National Write Your Will Month: Complete your Advance Directives

July 30, 2025

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

Welcome Elizabeth Testa, LICSW and Gretchen Smith, RN

July 23, 2025

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.

PBH&HH Thanks GC Pemi-Baker Centennial Lions Club for Donation

July 10, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health extends its sincere thanks to the Grafton County Pemi-Baker Centennial Lions Club for a generous $1,000 donation in recognition of Pemi-Baker’s ongoing work to raise awareness about diabetes and support local families living with the disease.

Diabetes impacts more than 37 million Americans — that’s about 1 in every 10 people — and nearly 1 in 5 don’t even know they have it. In Grafton County, diabetes is a growing challenge for many families who rely on community health services to manage this chronic condition. Without proper management, diabetes can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision loss.

Through skilled nursing, home health care, diabetes education, and hospice services, Pemi-Baker’s dedicated team helps patients monitor blood sugar levels, manage medications, prevent complications, and understand lifestyle changes that can improve quality of life. For those facing advanced illness, Pemi-Baker’s hospice staff provides comfort care, symptom management, and compassionate support for patients and their families.Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health receives donation from Grafton County Pemi-Baker Centennial Lion's Club Members

“We are deeply grateful to the Pemi-Baker Centennial Lions Club for this generous contribution,” said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “This donation will help us continue educating our community about diabetes and supporting patients and families who need help managing this condition at home.”

The Grafton County Pemi-Baker Centennial Lions Club is part of Lions Clubs International, the largest service club organization in the world. Locally, they serve the Warren, Wentworth, Groton, Rumney, and Plymouth communities through programs such as the Fire and Disaster Fund, which helps families displaced by emergencies, hosting Red Cross Blood Drives, and other important local initiatives.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health has proudly served central New Hampshire for decades, helping neighbors live independently and safely at home with dignity and compassion.

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.

  • 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.

Hospice Care Is a Gift: Choosing Comfort, Dignity, and Quality of Life

June 14, 2025

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. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health team

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

June is National Men’s Health Month

June 1, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Shines a Light on Men’s Health and Aging in Place During National Men’s Health Month.

June is National Men’s Health Month, and Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is spotlighting the importance of healthy aging for senior men. As we age, maintaining strength and independence becomes critical to living well at home. One often overlooked but vital issue is Sarcopenia—the gradual loss of muscle mass that can occur with age or illness.

Sarcopenia affects nearly one in three adults over 60 and can significantly impact balance, mobility, and the ability to live independently. Without intervention, it increases the risk of falls, fractures, and a general decline in health and quality of life. For men hoping to age in place safely, addressing sarcopenia is essential.

What is Sarcopenia?
Sarcopenia is an age-related condition that leads to the progressive weakening and shrinking of muscles. It typically begins around age 50 and accelerates with inactivity, poor nutrition, and chronic illness. Symptoms include reduced strength, slower walking speed, and difficulty with everyday tasks like climbing stairs or rising from a chair.

What Can Men Do About It?
The good news: sarcopenia is not inevitable. Lifestyle changes can slow, stop, or even reverse muscle loss.

Here are some key strategies men can start at home today:

  • Strength Training: Simple resistance exercises—such as squats using a chair, wall push-ups, and lifting light hand weights—can rebuild muscle. Aim for two to three sessions per week.
  • Protein-Rich Diet: Consuming enough protein is essential. Incorporate lean meats, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts into meals and snacks.
  • Vitamin D: Seniors should get enough sunlight or consider supplements to maintain healthy muscles and bones.
  • Stay Active Daily: Walking, stretching, and gentle yoga can maintain mobility and prevent stiffness.

Pemi-Baker offers support for men and families navigating aging in place. Our physical and occupational therapy services, wellness programs, and at-home health assessments ensure that older adults stay strong, safe, and independent for as long as possible.

“This month, we encourage all men—especially those over 60—to take action,” said Ernest Roy, DPT, Quality Director. “Debilitating muscle loss does not have to be part of getting older. It’s a challenge we can fight—and win—with the right tools.”

To learn more about preventing sarcopenia and how Pemi-Baker can help men age in place with confidence, visit www.pbhha.org or call (603) 536-2232.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Auction Banner

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Thanks Community for a Record-Breaking 2025 Spring Auction.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health extends heartfelt thanks to our incredible community for making the 2025 Spring Auction a resounding success.

From gift baskets to local experiences and handcrafted items, these donations formed the heart of our auction. Every item represented a business, a neighbor, or a friend stepping up to support high-quality, compassionate care close to home.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of bidders across the region, this year’s auction surpassed all expectations. Each bid placed was a vote of confidence in our mission and a direct contribution to the vital services we provide—from home health and hospice care to support groups and community wellness programs.

For those who placed winning bids, items are now available for pickup at our office:
101 Boulder Point Drive, Suite 3, Plymouth, NH
Pickup hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This fundraiser is more than a financial milestone; it’s a testament to the power of community. Every dollar raised strengthens our ability to provide personalized, expert care to those facing illness, recovery, or end-of-life needs—regardless of their ability to pay.

We are grateful beyond words for the businesses, individuals, and families who made this event possible. Your generosity ensures that Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health can continue to deliver the kind of care that treats people with dignity, compassion, and respect in every season of life.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for showing up. And thank you for believing in the work we do together.

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.

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.

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.

Your courage during Covid-19 does not go unnoticed
