Protecting Older Adults from Fall-Related Injuries

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates Fall Prevention Month This September- Raising Awareness and Taking Action to Protect Older Adults from Fall-Related Injuries.

September is Fall Prevention Month, a critical time to focus on the safety and well-being of our older adult population. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to join this national effort to raise awareness about fall-related injuries, hospitalizations, and their significant impact on quality of life and healthcare costs.Reducing the risk of falls in the home, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four Americans aged 65 and older falls each year. Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries in this age group, leading to over 3 million emergency department visits annually. Beyond the physical injuries, falls can result in a reduced quality of life, with many older adults experiencing a loss of independence and increased fear of falling again.

The financial impact is also staggering. The CDC estimates that falls among older adults cost the U.S. healthcare system over $50 billion each year. These costs include hospitalizations, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation, which often place a significant burden on families and caregivers.

Preventing Falls at Home: Simple Steps for Safety

Many falls can be prevented with simple adjustments to the home environment and proactive health measures. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health encourages individuals and families to consider the following fall prevention strategies:

  • Remove Tripping Hazards: Keep walkways clear of clutter, secure loose rugs with double-sided tape, and immediately clean up spills.
  • Improve Lighting: Ensure all areas of the home are well-lit, especially stairways and bathrooms. Consider installing nightlights in hallways and bedrooms.
  • Install Grab Bars and Handrails: Place grab bars in the bathroom near the toilet and shower, and install handrails on both sides of stairways.
  • Wear Proper Footwear: Encourage the use of shoes with non-slip soles and avoid walking around the house in socks or slippers.
  • Exercise Regularly: Engage in exercises that improve balance and strength, such as Tai Chi, to help prevent falls.

In-Home Assessments by Our Experts

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, our team of Physical and Occupational Therapists is dedicated to helping older adults stay safe in their homes. We offer in-home assessments to identify potential fall hazards and provide personalized recommendations to enhance safety. Our therapists work closely with patients to develop tailored exercise plans that strengthen muscles and improve balance, further reducing the risk of falls.

“As we celebrate Fall Prevention Month, it is vital to recognize the profound impact falls have on older adults and their families,” said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By taking proactive steps, we can prevent falls and ensure our loved ones maintain their independence and quality of life. Our team is here to support the community with expert assessments and care designed to keep everyone safe at home.”

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!

September is Sepsis Awareness Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Urges Awareness During Sepsis Awareness Month.

September is Sepsis Awareness Month, a critical time to raise awareness about a condition that claims the lives of over 350,000 adults in the U.S. every year—more than opioid overdoses, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is committed to educating our community on the dangers of sepsis and the importance of early detection and prevention.

Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection and is a life-threatening medical emergency. If not treated promptly, sepsis can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. It is the number one cause of hospital readmissions in the U.S., costing the healthcare system more than $3.5 billion annually.

To help identify sepsis early, it’s essential to know the signs and symptoms using the acronym TIME: Sepsis Awareness Month Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health and Sepsis Alliance

  • Temperature: Higher or lower than normal.
  • Infection: Signs and symptoms of an infection.
  • Mental Decline: Confusion, sleepiness, difficult to rouse.
  • Extremely Ill: Severe pain or discomfort, shortness of breath.

Home Health Care Reduces the Risk of Sepsis

Early intervention is key to preventing sepsis from escalating. That’s why having our skilled home health nurses and aides in your home right after surgery can significantly reduce your risk of developing sepsis. At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we provide personalized care designed to promote healing and prevent complications, ensuring our patients have the best possible outcomes.

Our commitment to excellence in patient care has been recognized nationally. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to announce that we have been awarded the 2024 IPRO Quality Award for our outstanding achievements in reducing emergency department visits and improving transitions of care for our patients. This prestigious award underscores our dedication to enhancing the quality of care we provide to our community.

As we observe Sepsis Awareness Month, we encourage everyone to educate themselves about the dangers of sepsis and take proactive steps to protect themselves and their loved ones.

The Journey Through Loss & Grief-New Support Group Starting!

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Starting New Grief Support Group Session: ‘The Journey Through Loss and Grief’

Throughout the ages of humankind, storytellers have spun tales which have fascinated the minds and imaginations of folks young and old as ways to help them discover their own inner strengths to confront the difficulties of life as we come to experience them. Probably no emotional journey is more challenging and difficult than that of loss and the feelings of grief that accompany it.

We do not have to wait long for such experiences. The boy next door, out of innocent curiosity drops a rock on a plastic rattle belonging to the little girl upstairs to see what makes its noise. The girl has lost her toy. The boy gets punished. Years move on. There are fun things that happen, but then the boy doesn’t make the softball team, or the girl doesn’t get the part in the play. Life moves on. She wins a prize in field hockey. Pets die. Boys or girls we develop crushes on don’t feel the same affection for us. Then we leave home to find our own paths in life. And on and on and on and on.

In between the good things, there are other things that hurt us, and we make our way on our journey, most of the time probably not knowing that we’re learning how to handle our losses and composing our own personal story. And then someone truly special we love is lost to us- by natural death, an accident, or by a violent crime, and our heart and soul hurt terribly and somehow, we need to move through all of that hurt if we are to continue to live and face a big challenge we’ve never had to face before. It helps to think about what we may have learned along the way so far and if that can help us now. Life is no fairy tale. But each of us has an interesting story.Guy Tillson, Hospice Chaplain, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

The next six-week session, grief and bereavement group “The Journey Through Loss and Grief” offered by Pemi-Baker Hospice and Home Health will begin on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at 10:30am in the upstairs art room (accessible by elevator) at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center. Please arrive before 10:15am to get a parking slip for the dashboard of your car from the receptionist at the front desk. There is no cost for participation.We are experiencing increased demand for participation. Please contact Guy Tillson, Hospice Chaplain, via email at gtillson@pbhha.org or by phone at 603 536-2232 to pre-register.

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!

Benefits of Home Health Care and Hospice Care for COPD Patients

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Highlights the Benefits of Home Health Care and Hospice Care for COPD Patients

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious condition characterized by damaged airways in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, low oxygen levels in the blood, persistent coughing, pain, weight loss, and an increased risk of lung infections. The emotional toll of COPD is significant, often resulting in depression, anxiety, insomnia, and social isolation.

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the complexities of managing COPD and are committed to providing comprehensive support through our home health care, palliative care, and hospice care services. Nurse helping COPD patient, Pemi-Baker Hospice & HOme Health, Plymouth, NH

Home Health Care: Enhancing Quality of Life at Home

Home health care offers personalized medical care in the comfort of a patient’s home. For COPD patients, this means access to skilled nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy tailored to their specific needs. Our team works closely with pulmonologists and other healthcare providers to ensure seamless care coordination. 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. The benefits include:

  • Improved Symptom Management: Regular monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans help manage symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath and fatigue, more effectively.
  • Reduced Hospital Visits: Early intervention and continuous care reduce the likelihood of emergency hospital visits.
  • Patient and Family Education: Teaching patients and their families about COPD management empowers them to take control of their health. Counseling and support are offered to cope with depression, anxiety, and other emotional challenges.

Hospice Care: Compassionate End-of-Life Support

For COPD patients in the advanced stages of the disease, hospice care offers compassionate support aimed at enhancing the quality of life. Our hospice services provide:

  • Pain and Symptom Management: Ensuring patients remain comfortable and pain-free.
  • Emotional and Spiritual Support: Offering counseling and support for patients and their families during this challenging time.
  • 24/7 Availability: Providing around-the-clock care and support to address any urgent needs.

The Importance of Comprehensive Care for COPD Patients

While pulmonologists play a crucial role in the medical treatment of COPD, the management of symptoms and stress associated with the disease requires a comprehensive approach. At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we believe in the power of integrative care that combines medical treatment with home health, palliative, and hospice services to offer the best possible outcomes for COPD patients.

Don’t wait to ask about how our compassionate staff can help your loved ones.

Observing National Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Observes National Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month.

As part of National Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is committed to supporting families and caregivers of loved ones with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Recognizing the profound impact these conditions have on patients and their families, we offer a range of specialized hospice services designed to provide comfort, support, and expert care.

“A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia can be overwhelming for both patients and their families. At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the challenges and are here to provide compassionate support every step of the way. Our dedicated hospice teams offer specialized care designed to enhance the quality of life for patients and relieve the burden on caregivers. Early involvement in hospice care can make a profound difference, and we encourage families to reach out for assistance sooner rather than later. Together, we can ensure that every moment is as meaningful and comfortable as possible, “said Aubrey Engle, RN, Executive Director. Nurse visiting family with Alzheimer's patient, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

How Our Hospice Teams Can Help:

  1. Comprehensive Medical Care: Our interdisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, and therapists, offers personalized care plans to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
  2. Emotional and Spiritual Support: We provide counseling and spiritual care tailored to the needs of both patients and their families, helping them navigate the emotional complexities of the disease.
  3. Pain and Symptom Management: Our focus is on alleviating pain and other distressing symptoms, ensuring patients remain as comfortable as possible. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, and patients can benefit from the prolonged support hospice services provide.
  4. Respite Care: Recognizing the toll caregiving can take, we offer respite care services, allowing primary caregivers to take necessary breaks while knowing their loved ones are in safe, expert hands.
  5. Support for Caregivers: The Alzheimer’s Association notes that caregivers often experience high levels of stress and that hospice services can help alleviate some of this burden and prevent burnout. To further support those caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia, we host free Caregiver Support Groups on the first Wednesday of every month. These groups provide a space for sharing experiences, gaining advice, and finding mutual support.
  6. Volunteer Assistance: Our dedicated volunteers are available to assist with various needs, providing companionship to patients and giving caregivers much-needed respite.

Importance of Early Hospice Involvement

Engaging hospice care early in the progression of Alzheimer’s and dementia can significantly enhance the quality of life for patients and ease the burden on families. Studies have shown that patients who receive hospice care tend to have fewer emergency room visits and hospital admissions compared to those who do not receive hospice care.

Early involvement allows our team to build a trusting relationship with the patient and their loved ones, ensuring a smoother transition and comprehensive care plan tailored to their evolving needs.

Announcing New Grief & Loss Support Group Series Starting June 25

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health will begin its next Grief & Loss Support Group on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

The topic for this six-week series is “Does It Ever Stop?” This is a question that comes to most mourners sometimes as they make their way through coming to terms with the loss they have endured. Free Grief & Loss Support groups offered at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

The late Queen Elizabeth II once said, “Grief is the price we pay for love.” To the extent that we have invested and shared our love with another, we are likely to feel a comparable depth and soreness of sadness in losing them. A simple answer to the topic question is “No” because most of us believe that love is eternal, so the ache of grieving may endure for long stretches of time.

What can stop is the intensity of the hurting, so that the mourner may eventually come to an emotional space that is not as debilitating or devastating as when freshly felt. There are no shortcuts or easy steps toward arriving at this place. Grief experts do speak of such notions as acceptance, letting go, resolution, and finding meaning. We will look at and examine these ideas while continuing to assure that our group is a safe place for anyone regardless of where they find themselves as they move along in processing their grief.

Those interested in attending must pre-register by contacting Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator and Hospice Chaplain. He can be reached by email at gtillson@pbhha.org or by phone at 603 536-2232. He will address any questions or concerns you may have. There is no cost to participate in the group. We meet on Tuesday mornings, beginning on June 25, 2024, at 10:30am, in the upstairs art room (accessible by elevator) at the Plymouth Senior Center. We hope you will join our safe and supportive series navigating the journey of grief.

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.
