These partnerships are vital, allowing us to continue providing compassionate care and essential services to individuals and families in need. The overwhelming support from these businesses highlights the strong community spirit and dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.

We are also immensely grateful for the more than 115 items donated by local businesses, which formed the heart of our auction. From unique experiences and gift certificates to handcrafted items and valuable services, the diversity and quality of the donations were truly impressive. Each contribution played a significant role in the success of the auction, drawing enthusiastic bids from attendees and driving the fundraising total to new heights.

The 2024 Spring Auction not only met but exceeded our fundraising goals, providing crucial funds that will directly support Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health’s programs and services. These funds ensure that we can continue to offer high-quality hospice care, home health services, and community health programs to those who need them most, regardless of their financial situation.

Unlocking Comfort and Compassion for Cancer Patients

May 27, 2024

Unlocking Comfort and Compassion: The Vital Benefits of Palliative & Hospice Support for Cancer Patients.Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health nurse with cancer patient, Plymouth, NH

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients through comprehensive palliative and hospice care. Our services are designed to manage symptoms, control pain, and provide unwavering comfort during one of life’s most challenging journeys.

Specialized Palliative Care

For patients living with serious illnesses like cancer, our team focuses on providing specialized medical care to alleviate symptoms and reduce stress. Suitable for individuals of any age and at any illness stage, this care can be administered alongside curative treatments, aiming to enhance the patient’s quality of life. For terminal cancer patients, our team emphasizes symptom management and support throughout their journey.

Personalized Symptom Management

Cancer patients often endure symptoms that impact their daily lives. Our tailored palliative and hospice care plans significantly alleviate discomfort through personalized symptom management and pain control. We work alongside all primary care providers (PCPs) in the area and involve them in our plan of care. Patients frequently report that having palliative or hospice support made them more comfortable and better able to cope with their symptoms. Our dedicated healthcare professionals work tirelessly to manage pain and other distressing symptoms effectively, allowing patients to focus on what matters most.

Round-the-Clock Family Support

Caring for a loved one with cancer is emotionally and physically demanding. Families find immense relief knowing they have 24/7 access to support. This constant availability ensures that compassionate and knowledgeable hospice team members are just a phone call away, providing peace of mind and enabling families to offer the best possible care without feeling overwhelmed.

Comprehensive Hospice Benefits

For terminal cancer patients, hospice care is a significant advantage as most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover the costs. This includes medications, medical equipment, supplies, and regular visits from our hospice team, easing the financial burden. By covering these costs, we allow patients and families to focus on emotional and physical care without worrying about expenses.

A Team Committed to Compassionate Care

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, our interdisciplinary team includes physicians, nurses, social workers, spiritual advisors, and trained volunteers, all working in concert to provide holistic care. Our mission is to support not just the patient, but the entire family, through coordinated efforts that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our patients.

Contact Us for a Free Consultation

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer and could benefit from palliative or hospice services, contact Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. We offer free consultations to help you understand how our services can meet your unique needs. Call us at 603-536-2232 to learn more about navigating this challenging time with dignity, comfort, and support.

National Osteoporosis Month-Preventing Falls in the Home

May 21, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Observes National Osteoporosis Month.Prevent falls in the home, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

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.

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.

Who Cares for the Caregivers?

April 23, 2024

On a recent (March 2, 2024) episode of the TV news “CBS Saturday Morning”, veteran correspondent Barry Petersen did a feature piece on the growing phenomenon of family members and friends caring for needful loved ones in their homes. The piece began by focusing on how the COVID pandemic heightened the need for caregivers themselves to have assistance and support. The TV story can be viewed online by Googling “Barry Petersen”.  Petersen himself came to the concern through his own experience, having cared for his wife until her death. He recounted his experience in a book entitled “JAN’S STORY: A love lost to the long goodbye of Alzheimer’s”, available through Amazon.Jans Story book cover

Petersen’s TV feature story interviewed persons engaged with DUET, a Phoenix-based organization committed to providing support to family/at-home caregivers. They do this locally in their area by offering in-person support groups as well as virtual support groups via ZOOM which now extend to fifteen states, Canada, and the Navajo Nation. Their website is duetaz.org. The feature included comments by DUET facilitators as well as group participants.

Some of the statistics are quite surprising. Here in our country, 38 million citizens are involved in family/home-based caring. The financial equivalent of their unpaid work (if it were done by nurses and other healthcare workers) is $600 billion dollars. Family/home-based caregivers often suffer from the stressors of isolation, loneliness, and isolation which can impact them physically as much as would smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Another significant stressor is “ambiguous loss”, caused by the physical presence but psychological absence of the one being care for. The caregiver has no way of knowing how long their caregiving responsibility will last since the patient’s end of life cannot be definitely predicted. The “not knowing” becomes a test of emotional and physical endurance since there is no sense of closure. Add to this the very human (and understandable) reactions of fear, frustration, anger, and guilt and you have a growing population of people who are emotionally hurting.

To assist caregivers in our area, PEMI-BAKER HOSPICE & HOME HEALTH offers an in-person support group which meets on the first Wednesday of every month. The gathering is held in the Conference Room at the agency’s Boulder Point site which can be accessed in the blue/gray building at Health Place. The entrance is right near the beautiful little gazebo and solar panels. Meetings begin at 10:00am and conclude no later than 11:30am. There is no cost to attend. Sessions are facilitated by Guy Tillson, Pemi-Baker’s Hospice Spiritual Counselor and Bereavement Coordinator. Interested persons are asked to pre-register by contacting him at gtillson@pbhha.org or by calling the agency ay 603 536-2232.

April 18, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Extends Heartfelt Gratitude to Dedicated Volunteers Ahead of Volunteer Appreciation Week.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Hospice Volunteer Training

As Volunteer Appreciation Week approaches, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health proudly acknowledges the invaluable contributions of over 20 hospice volunteers who selflessly devote their time and energy to support patients and caregivers in their time of need.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization, providing compassion, companionship, and practical assistance to those navigating the challenges of end-of-life care. From lending a listening ear to sharing comforting moments, our volunteers play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for our patients and their families.

“Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience and empathy to our hospice program,” said Angie Burke, Volunteer Coordinator at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “Their dedication and generosity truly embody the spirit of compassionate care.”

Volunteers at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health come from all walks of life, motivated by a shared desire to give back to their community. Some have been touched by the support of a hospice volunteer in their own lives and are driven to pay it forward, while others, including veterans, seek to connect with and support fellow veterans in their final journey.

In recognition of the indispensable role our volunteers play, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health invites individuals who are passionate about making a difference to join our upcoming volunteer training program. The FREE, five-week program, running from May 28th to June 25th, offers comprehensive training to prepare volunteers to assist families caring for their loved ones during their final stages of life. With just a few hours a month, volunteers can make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

“Our hospice volunteers provide invaluable support in various ways, whether it’s through companionship, household tasks, or sharing the joy of music and therapy animals,” added Burke. “Their selflessness inspires us all, and we are immensely grateful for their unwavering commitment.”

Join us at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health in honoring and celebrating our remarkable volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation Week and beyond. Together, we can continue to make a profound difference in the lives of those we serve.

Pemi-Baker Celebrates National Occupational Therapy Month

April 11, 2024

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Occupational Therapy Month!

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Occupational Therapy, Plymouth, NH

As we enter April, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to recognize National Occupational Therapy Month, shedding light on the invaluable role Occupational Therapists (OTs) play in enhancing the lives of patients within the comfort of their own homes.

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a vital component of home health care that aims to help individuals of all ages achieve independence and improve their quality of life through customized interventions. OT services provided in the home setting are particularly significant, offering patients a personalized approach to recovery and empowerment.

OTs provide a wide range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient within the familiarity and convenience of their home environment. These services may include:

  1. Assessment and Evaluation: OTs conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the patient’s abilities, limitations, and goals, enabling them to develop personalized treatment plans.
  2. Adaptive Equipment Recommendations: OTs recommend and assist in obtaining adaptive equipment and devices that promote independence and safety within the home.
  3. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: OTs work with patients to improve their ability to perform everyday tasks such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and meal preparation, enhancing their overall independence and quality of life.
  4. Home Safety Assessments: OTs evaluate the home environment to identify potential hazards and make modifications or recommendations to ensure a safe and accessible living space.
  5. Cognitive Rehabilitation: OTs provide cognitive rehabilitation techniques to help patients regain and enhance cognitive skills, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities.

By bringing Occupational Therapy directly into the home, patients can experience numerous benefits, including accelerated recovery, increased motivation, and enhanced overall well-being.

“At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive and compassionate care to our patients in the comfort of their own homes,” said Melissa Smith, Home Health, Hospice & Palliative Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “During National Occupational Therapy Month and beyond, we remain committed to empowering our patients to achieve their highest level of independence and function through our exceptional Occupational Therapy services. Thank you to Nicole Sullivan, OT, Lindsay Hann, OT and Amanda Robinson, COTA/L for all that you do for our 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.

“Everyone is so understanding supportive and kind.”

From the director to the nurses to the health care workers.  So cheerful, helpful and accommodating.  This is our second time receiving assistance from Pemi-Baker and we are very lucky to have found this amazing group!  Thank you for your excellent care and compassion.

“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.
