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.

“I would give your hospice team 10 stars if I could!”

They were truly amazing. We called on a Sunday, and they sent someone out that very afternoon to begin care and stayed by our side as Mom's health declined. We are especially grateful for Alexa, who went above and beyond to attend to our mom's needs and support us as caregivers. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, compassionate and simply an incredible human to be around. We couldn't have done this without her and will be forever grateful for her care. We also want to acknowledge Gretchen and Dr. Saunders, who guided us through some very challenging moments and took the time to truly listen, support us and answer all of our questions. I cant' say enough about our experience with hospice. We are deeply grateful for their care, compassion and support during this time.

The Physical therapists were amazing!

The physical therapists who visited after my total knee replacement were amazing! The communication was excellent. They phoned in advance to confirm their arrival times. Each PT provider was professional, supportive, and guided me through the appropriate exercises necessary in order for me to be ready to leave my house and continue with physical therapy outside the home. I am very grateful.

“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 helpful, supportive and kind!”

I had two hip replacements within 10 months and the VA referred me to Pemi-Baker for rehab in my home. They were all amazing! I had PTs and OTs help me exercise and strengthen my hips and legs quickly. They also helped me to acquire the equipment such as canes, leg lifters, sock helpers, and walkers to fit each stage of my healing. Call them they will help you!

“Kind, professional, competent services every step of the way”

Our primary nurse, Fred, was outstanding, and others who filled in 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.

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.
