Celebrating National Home Care & Hospice Month

October 31, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Home Care & Hospice Month: Brightening Lives Every Day.

Each November, the home care and hospice community comes together to recognize National Home Care & Hospice Month, honoring the millions of nurses, therapists, home care aides, social workers, and volunteers who bring hope and healing to patients and families across the country.

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, this month is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible team of healthcare professionals who brighten lives every day by delivering compassionate, high-quality care in the comfort and familiarity of home.

“Whether our patients are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or navigating the final stages of life, our team provides the support and guidance they need to live with dignity, comfort, and independence,” said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director. “We are deeply grateful for our dedicated staff, whose kindness and expertise make an extraordinary difference in the lives of those we serve.”

In addition to our nurses, therapists, social workers, and aides, we extend heartfelt gratitude to the employees who work tirelessly behind the scenes—in administration, finance, quality control, and support services. Their dedication ensures that every aspect of care runs smoothly and that our patients and families receive the very best experience possible.

Understanding the Impact of Home Health and Hospice Care

Many families aren’t sure when it’s time to seek home health or hospice services. That’s why Pemi-Baker’s clinical team looks beyond the obvious—to help guide patients and families along their healthcare journey with compassion and clarity.

Home Health Care provides skilled medical care at home for patients who are:

  • Managing chronic conditions such as COPD, diabetes, or heart failure
  • Recovering from surgery, stroke, or a serious medical event
  • In need of wound care or help managing medications
  • Adjusting to mobility challenges or at risk for falls

Hospice Care, on the other hand, focuses on comfort and quality of life for those with life-limiting illnesses by providing:

  • Expert pain and symptom management
  • Emotional, spiritual, and bereavement support for patients and families
  • Specialized programs for veterans
  • Volunteer companionship and assistance

Shared Goals, Shared Heart–While home health and hospice care serve different needs, both are:

  • Delivered wherever a patient calls home
  • Tailored to individual goals and preferences
  • Designed to enhance safety, independence, and comfort
  • Lower in cost than hospital or facility-based care
  • Accessible through a physician’s referral

Celebrating National Spiritual Care Week

October 23, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Spiritual Care Week.

From October 19th to October 25th, 2025, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health joins healthcare organizations nationwide in celebrating National Spiritual Care Week. This year’s theme, “40 Years of Spiritual Support,” commemorates four decades of recognizing the vital role spiritual care plays in promoting hope, healing, and wholeness for individuals and families during life’s most challenging times. National Spiritual Care Week

Spiritual care supports a person’s inner well-being, focusing on their questions of meaning, purpose, and hope—especially during illness, loss, or times of transition. It is a compassionate, person-centered approach that respects all beliefs, whether religious, spiritual, or non-religious. Spiritual care offers a safe space to explore and make sense of life experiences, often through active listening, compassionate presence, prayer, meaningful rituals, or connecting people with resources like sacred texts, supportive communities, or nature—all aimed at enhancing holistic well-being.

At Pemi-Baker, we are proud to honor our Hospice Chaplain, Guy Tillson, whose dedication and empathy embody the true spirit of this work. Guy collaborates closely with our hospice and home health teams to support patients, caregivers, and families—meeting each person where they are, with respect and compassion. His presence helps individuals find comfort, peace, and understanding at times when those gifts mean the most.

“Guy’s gentle guidance and caring presence remind us that spiritual care is about far more than religion—it’s about connection, meaning, and hope,” says Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “He offers comfort to patients and their families, helping them navigate difficult emotions and find strength in their own beliefs and values.”

In addition to his work with patients, Guy leads Caregiver Support and Bereavement Support Groups at Pemi-Baker’s Boulder Point office and the Plymouth Regional Senior Center. These gatherings provide a safe, welcoming environment where participants can share experiences, find solace, and connect with others walking similar paths.

As we celebrate 40 years of Spiritual Care Week, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health invites our community to recognize the profound importance of spiritual care providers and chaplains in healthcare. Their compassion and presence uplift the human spirit, helping people discover peace, purpose, and resilience—no matter where they are on life’s journey.

October is Liver Awareness Month

October 9, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Promotes Liver Health and Support at Home.

This October, during Liver Awareness Month, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health reminds our community how important it is to care for one of the body’s hardest-working organs — the liver. The liver plays a major role in keeping us healthy, yet liver disease often develops quietly.Pemi-Baker Nurse at home with Jaundice patient

Conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer can affect anyone, but early detection and healthy daily habits can make a big difference. Eating a balanced diet, limiting alcohol, staying active, and maintaining a healthy weight are simple steps that go a long way toward protecting your liver.

For those living with liver disease or other chronic illnesses, Pemi-Baker’s home health and hospice teams are here to help. Our caring Registered Nurses, Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs), and Social Workers provide support right at home — helping with symptom management, medications, and comfort care, all while keeping patients connected to their loved ones. It can be physically and emotionally challenging, but the Pemi-Baker team will offer round-the-clock support to manage symptoms, relieve discomfort, and improve quality of life for patients and their families.

How Can Home Health & Hospice Care Help? 

  • Symptom management: Liver disease can cause pain, swelling, nausea, and difficulty eating. The Pemi-Baker team will help manage these symptoms with medications and other therapies, so you can be more comfortable.
  • Emotional support: Living with liver disease can be overwhelming and stressful. The Pemi-Baker team will work with you and your family to offer emotional and psychological support. This might include talking through fears or concerns or connecting you with counseling services.
  • Coordination of care: You’ll likely have many doctors involved in your care, such as liver specialists (hepatologists), surgeons, and primary care doctors. The Pemi-Baker team will help coordinate your treatment, ensuring everyone works together to meet your needs.
  • Help with decisions: There are often complicated decisions to be made about your care. The Pemi-Baker team will explain your options, answer your questions, and help you make decisions that align with your goals and values.

“We’re honored to help people live safely and comfortably at home,” said a Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director. “Our goal is to make sure no one has to face illness alone.”

If you or someone you know could benefit from our care, please call 603-536-2232 or visit www.pbhha.org

Celebrating National Physical Therapy Month

September 26, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Physical Therapy Month with Exceptional Rehab Outcomes!National Physical Therapy month

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to highlight the vital role our Physical and Occupational Therapists play in helping patients recover and thrive after joint replacement surgeries.

Returning home after surgery can be overwhelming, but our expert therapy team ensures that recovery begins the moment you step through your front door. Whether you’ve had a hip, knee, shoulder, or other joint procedure, early in-home rehabilitation is a key part of a successful recovery—and at Pemi-Baker, we bring that care directly to you.

“Our therapists specialize in home-based recovery plans that are tailored to each individual’s needs,” says Gretchen Smith, Clinical Manager at Pemi-Baker. “Our goal is to restore mobility, confidence, and independence as quickly and safely as possible. Early rehab at home reduces complications and gets patients back into their lifestyle faster.”

The results speak for themselves. In 2025, Pemi-Baker’s total joint replacement patients experienced excellent outcomes:

Total Knee Replacement Outcomes (2025):

  • Average of just 6 therapy visits
  • 134% average improvement in walking speed
  • Timed Up & Go test improvement of 15 seconds
  • Zero falls under our care
  • 100% of patients safely remained at home
  • Average knee bend of 107 degrees upon discharge

Total Hip Replacement Outcomes (2025):

  • Average of 6 therapy visits
  • 130% average improvement in walking speed
  • Timed Up & Go test improvement of 9.2 seconds
  • Zero falls under our care
  • All patients safely remained at home after discharge

“These are more than just numbers,” says Smith. “They represent real people getting back to gardening, hiking, playing with their grandchildren—doing the things they love.”

Pemi-Baker’s dedicated team of licensed Physical and Occupational Therapists provides one-on-one care that includes strength and balance training, pain management, fall prevention, mobility improvement, and education for patients and caregivers.Home physical therapy with Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Choosing in-home rehab with Pemi-Baker means:

  • No need for frequent travel to outpatient clinics
  • Personalized care in a familiar environment
  • Faster return to daily activities
  • Proven safety and effectiveness

As we recognize National Physical Therapy Month, we also celebrate the hardworking professionals who make these recoveries possible. Their skill, compassion, and commitment to excellence truly change lives.

Grief & Loss Support Group Series Starting September 23rd, 2025

August 28, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Announces Upcoming ‘Grief & Loss Support Group’ Series Starting September 23rd, 2025.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is pleased to announce the next offering of its Grief & Loss Support Group, beginning Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025, at the Plymouth Senior Center. The focus for the group will be “The Presence of an Absence.” Free Grief & Loss Support groups offered at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

In whatever losses we experience in our lives, someone or something that has been there for us is no longer present and available. Our grief and mourning is initially directed to feeling the absence of that presence. Oddly enough, growing through the sadness and sorrow brought on by our loss, includes recognizing that absence is a genuine reality in itself that invites our attention.

Some specialists in grief studies speak of welcoming as friends or guests the range of emotions and feelings that came into our lives with the loss. Others suggest embracing and learning to love these feelings. This is certainly a challenge that we might not want to even consider. It might be compared to looking into a black hole in the universe or the rabbit hole Alice fell down into Wonderland.

We will think about such things as emptiness, numbness, and feeling disconnected. The exploration, however, might carry us along another step in coming to terms with a different realm of reality as we process our experiences of grieving and mourning. It will not erase our loss or remove our grief, but we may continue to discover companions along the way who are enduring similar responses.

The group will meet weekly on Tuesdays: September 23rd, 30th, October 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 noon. Sessions will be held in the upstairs art room of the Plymouth Regional Senior Center (8 Depot Street, Plymouth), accessible by elevator. Participants needing a parking slip should plan to arrive by 10:15 AM to obtain one at the front desk.

There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is required. To sign up, please contact Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator, by email at gtillson@pbhha.org or by phone at 603-536-2232 (voicemail available).

Each session is structured around open dialogue rather than a rigid syllabus. While broad topics guide the group, the true value comes from the shared experiences and honest conversations among participants. Handouts may be provided to spark reflection, but the focus is on personal connection and support.

This group is inclusive of many kinds of loss—not just the death of a loved one. Whether you’re dealing with the end of a relationship, the loss of a pet, job, home, or other life changes, this space is for you.

“We recognize that grief is deeply personal, and we strive to provide a welcoming environment where all forms of loss are respected and validated,” said Tillson.

The five-week training will wrap up on October 15, 2025, with a pause on October 1.

This program is more than a class—it’s an opportunity to touch lives in powerful and meaningful ways. Volunteers at Pemi-Baker are companions, listeners, and supporters for patients and families navigating some of life’s most difficult moments. From offering a warm presence at the bedside, to helping with errands, to lending a hand with office projects or community events, every volunteer makes a difference.

“Volunteers are the heart of our organization,” says Angie Burke, Volunteer Coordinator. “Their kindness and generosity bring comfort not only to our patients but also to the families who love them. Joining this training means joining a family of caregivers who believe in showing up with compassion.”

Pemi-Baker is especially welcoming male volunteers and those with military service. These volunteers often bring shared experiences that create special connections—particularly with Veteran patients.

No medical background is required—just a caring spirit and a willingness to give a little time. By the end of the program, participants will feel confident and prepared to provide both emotional and practical support, ensuring that patients and families never feel alone.

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.

Special Community Presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice

August 21, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Announces Special Community Presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice Care.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association and the Plymouth Regional Senior Center, is hosting a free, in-person community presentation on Alzheimer’s, Dementia & Hospice Care on Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center, 8 Depot Street, Plymouth, NH.

This special program will provide attendees with essential information about Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia, the importance of early detection, and the wide range of resources available through the Alzheimer’s Association. The presentation will also cover hospice care services offered by Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, helping families understand when and how to access these vital supports.

The session will be led by two distinguished presenters:

  • Melissa Grenier, Regional Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association, will share expertise on the signs and stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia, how to seek a diagnosis, and the benefits of early planning.
  • Kristi Saunders, MD, Hospice Medical Director for Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, will explain how hospice care can provide comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals with dementia and their families.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, affecting millions of individuals and families nationwide. With no known cure, early awareness and access to resources are critical for both patients and caregivers. The Alzheimer’s Association offers a wealth of programs, support groups, and educational materials to help families navigate the challenges of dementia.

Hospice care, often misunderstood, is not just for the final days of life. For individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, hospice can provide months of compassionate care, symptom management, and emotional support—allowing loved ones to focus on meaningful moments together. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health brings decades of experience serving central New Hampshire, offering skilled, compassionate care in the comfort of home.

“This program is a great opportunity for community members to get clear, accurate information about Alzheimer’s and dementia,” said Melissa Grenier. “We want families to feel empowered with knowledge and to know they are not alone.”

Dr. Saunders added, “Hospice care is about living fully, even in the face of serious illness. We want people to understand the benefits of hospice for those with dementia, and how it can help patients and families alike.”

The event is free and open to the public. No registration is necessary—simply come with your questions and a willingness to learn. Attendees will leave with practical insights, resource information, and a better understanding of the support available in their community.

For questions or more information, please call Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health at 603-536-2232.

Liz Testa, LICSW, Medical Social Worker at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, emphasized the importance of these preparations. “An Advance Directive is more than just a form; it’s a way to ensure that your healthcare wishes are respected, even when you may not be able to voice them yourself. By planning ahead, you can relieve your loved ones of the burden of making tough decisions during stressful times. We encourage everyone, regardless of age or health, to take the time to complete their Advance Directive this National Write Your Will Month.”

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is committed to supporting individuals and families in making informed decisions about their healthcare.

Welcome Elizabeth Testa, LICSW and Gretchen Smith, RN

July 23, 2025

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health proudly announces two new additions to its growing team, strengthening its mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality care to patients and families throughout the region.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home HEalth new employees
left to right: Gretchen Smith, RN, Clinical Manager, Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director, Liz Testa, LICSW, Medical Social Worker

Elizabeth (Liz) Testa, LICSW, has joined the organization full-time as a medical social worker for both home care and hospice patients. Liz brings over two decades of experience working with diverse patient populations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Her wide-ranging background includes supporting teenagers in dropout prevention programs, providing care in intensive care units, telemetry, emergency rooms, the VA system, nursing homes, and home hospice care.

“Throughout my career, I’ve done a little bit of everything,” said Liz. “But I fell in love with hospice from day one. I’m honored to support families at one of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. I believe deeply in walking alongside patients and families on this emotional, often unpredictable journey.”

Prior to Pemi-Baker, Liz served at Tufts Care at Home in Lowell, MA, where she was the sole social worker covering a large territory across southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. After spending hours on the road every day, Liz sought a change—one that brought her closer to home and back to the community roots she values.

“I’d heard great things about Pemi-Baker as a community-based agency,” she added. “I hope my 20-plus years of experience can support patients, families, and my colleagues as we continue to look for ways to improve care and make things easier for the people we serve.”

Liz is guided by the words of Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Joining Liz is Gretchen Smith, RN, who steps in as Pemi-Baker’s new Clinical Manager. Gretchen comes to the role with a decade of nursing experience, primarily in long-term care, and a lifelong dedication to guiding and supporting others.

“Nursing is actually my second career,” Gretchen shared. “Before this, I trained horses and taught riding for over 20 years. The skill sets overlap more than people might think—patience, trust, clear communication. Interestingly, several of my riding students became nurses, too.”

Gretchen describes her leadership style as “supportive guidance” and finds inspiration in the African philosophy of Ubuntu: “I am because we are.” She is relocating to the area and sees herself as a modern-day version of the nurses in Call the Midwife—providing care with warmth and compassion in people’s homes.

“As our communities age, more people will choose to stay at home surrounded by what’s familiar,” said Gretchen. “My guiding principle is simple: the ‘grandma test.’ Is the care I’m providing good enough for my own grandmother? If the answer is yes, I know I’m doing right by my patients.”

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is excited to welcome Liz and Gretchen and looks forward to the dedication and heart they bring to patients, families, and the entire community.

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.

“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.

“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.
