Providing compassionate in-home and out-patient care in Plymouth, NH

The Gift of Hospice Care

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to announce the Gift of Hospice Care, a heartfelt initiative aimed at educating the community about the profound benefits of opting for hospice care early as loved ones age. This initiative underscores the compassionate, comprehensive support available to patients and their families during life’s final stages.

  • Opting for hospice care is a compassionate choice, not a negative one.
  • Selecting hospice care is a loving decision, not something to fear.
  • Embracing hospice care is a blessing, not a burden.

Hospice care provides a holistic approach to end-of-life care, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients. By choosing hospice care early, patients receive personalized medical care designed to manage pain and symptoms, allowing them to live their remaining days with dignity and comfort.

Families also experience significant benefits when hospice care is initiated early. They gain access to a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including nurses, social workers, chaplains and volunteers who provide guidance and emotional support. This network of support helps families navigate the complexities of end-of-life care, offering respite and ensuring that they are not alone during this challenging time.Dr. Kristi Saunders, Hospice Medical Director, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

 

Additionally, early hospice care can lead to better quality of life for both patients and their loved ones. It enables more time to create meaningful memories, facilitates important conversations, and provides peace of mind knowing that compassionate, expert care is readily available day or night.

“Our mission is to ensure that patients and families receive the best possible care and support during one of life’s most natural transitions,” said Dr. Kristi Saunders, MD, Hospice Medical Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By choosing hospice care early, families can focus on spending quality time together while we take care of the rest.”

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!

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.
