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

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Expands ‘Ask A Pemi-Baker Nurse’ Program at Participating Senior Centers

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, a leading healthcare provider in Grafton County, is pleased to announce the expansion of its program, ‘Ask A Pemi-Baker Nurse,’ designed to provide free medical guidance and support to seniors in the community. This program has been available at the Plymouth, Linwood and Littleton Senior Centers in collaboration with the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council. They are now adding dates at the Orford and Horse Meadow Senior Centers monthly as well.

The ‘Ask A Pemi-Baker Nurse’ program aims to address the health concerns and queries of older adults, offering them an opportunity to connect with experienced healthcare professionals from Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. Through this initiative, seniors can receive valuable medical advice, information on managing chronic conditions, guidance on medication management, and assistance in navigating the healthcare system.

The program is hosted at select Senior Centers across Grafton County, ensuring convenient access for seniors residing in the region. A team of compassionate and knowledgeable nurses from Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health will be available during designated days and times to address individual questions and concerns.

To find out the schedule for ‘Ask A Pemi-Baker Nurse’ sessions and the participating Grafton County Senior Citizens Council centers, interested individuals can visit the Pemi-Baker Community Health website at https://www.pemibakerhospicehomehealth.org/our-services/community-support-resources/. The website provides a comprehensive listing of days, times, and locations where the programs are available.

“We are thrilled about the success of our ‘Ask A Pemi-Baker Nurse’ program in collaboration with the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council,” said Danielle Paquette-Horne, RN, Executive Director of Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By bringing our experienced nurses directly to the senior community, we aim to support and empower older adults in managing their health effectively. We believe that access to reliable healthcare information plays a crucial role in enhancing their well-being and quality of life. Many seniors talk to us about their fears leading up to surgeries, interpretation of lab results, how to work their insulin devices and some come to get their blood pressure checked.”

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health has been providing exceptional healthcare services to the community for over three decades. The organization remains committed to delivering comprehensive, compassionate, and personalized care to individuals in need, ensuring they receive the support necessary to live life to the fullest. “There have been quite a few times over the last year that I have called a provider directly for the senior with me. Through my assessment skills as an RN, if I think they should see their health care provider sooner rather than later I will assist them in calling their provider right then and there,” said Paquette-Horne.

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.
