Supporting Families During National Heart Health Month

January 30, 2025

February is National Heart Health Month: How Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Supports Patients and Families.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health supports heart disease patients.February is National Heart Health Month, a time to focus on cardiovascular wellness and the resources available to support patients recovering from heart conditions. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to provide compassionate, high-quality care to individuals transitioning home after heart surgery and families living with terminal heart disease.

For those recovering from heart surgery, the journey back to health can be daunting. Pemi-Baker’s dedicated home health team ensures that patients receive expert care in the comfort of their own homes. Our skilled nurses, therapists, and caregivers work together to create personalized care plans tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

“Our home health services focus on a holistic approach to recovery,” says Aubrey Engle, Executive Director. “From monitoring vital signs and administering medications to guiding patients through cardiac rehabilitation exercises, our team is here to help patients regain strength and confidence after surgery.”

Transitioning home after heart surgery often requires significant lifestyle adjustments, including managing medications, maintaining a heart-healthy diet, and adhering to physical activity recommendations. Pemi-Baker’s team provides essential education and support to both patients and their families, empowering them to take control of their health and reduce the risk of complications or hospital readmissions.

In addition to post-surgery care, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health offers specialized hospice services for families facing terminal heart disease. Many people delay seeking hospice care, but early enrollment can provide invaluable benefits to both patients and their loved ones.

“Our hospice services are about more than end-of-life care,” says Engle. “We focus on enhancing quality of life, providing emotional and spiritual support, and ensuring patients can spend their remaining time with dignity and comfort.”

The Pemi-Baker team includes skilled clinicians, social workers, chaplains, and trained volunteers who provide a network of support. This comprehensive care helps families navigate the physical, emotional, and logistical challenges of terminal heart disease. From managing symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue to addressing emotional concerns, Pemi-Baker’s hospice team is committed to helping patients and families find peace during a difficult time.

National Heart Health Month is an ideal time to prioritize your heart health and learn about the resources available to support recovery and long-term care. Whether you or a loved one are recovering from heart surgery or facing a terminal diagnosis, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is here to help.

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.

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!

“My home physical therapy was fantastic.”

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.

“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.
