Unlocking Comfort and Compassion: The Vital Benefits of Palliative & Hospice Support for Cancer Patients.
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.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, a leading provider of compassionate end-of-life care and comprehensive home health services, is thrilled to extend its heartfelt appreciation to the community and local businesses for their tremendous support and overwhelming response to our online ‘2023 Spring Auction’. This annual event serves as our largest fundraiser, and this year, it surpassed all expectations, thanks to the remarkable generosity and enthusiasm of our sponsors and donors.
Some of the auction donations are specific to palliative and hospice services including: therapeutic massage, hospice and dementia comfort cubs, therapeutic music and hospice comfort kits.
Another benefit that at-home therapy provides, is the opportunity to assess the safety and accessibility of the home environment. A therapist’s trained eyes can spot fall hazards or bathroom dangers and provide helpful preventive advice.
The existence of hospice makes this level of freedom available to many who otherwise would not have had it. Hospice care offers 24/7 clinical support, medication and pain management, assistance with daily living activities, medical supplies and equipment, volunteer support and companionship, social, spiritual and grief support from social workers and chaplains, for the whole family.
The elderly who wish to retain the freedom of staying in their home and ending their lives on their own terms experience true psychological benefits. Their comfortable surroundings allow them to end their lives with a sense of dignity, which is incredibly valuable. In fact, home care harkens back to older days, when tending to the terminally ill at home was the standard. There’s always the added benefit of being closer to their loved ones in their final days.
