National Osteoporosis Month-Preventing Falls in the Home

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Observes National Osteoporosis Month.Prevent falls in the home, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health joins the nation in recognizing National Osteoporosis Month this May. As advocates for senior health and well-being, Pemi-Baker emphasizes the importance of awareness and prevention in reducing the risk of osteoporosis-related fracture due to falls among older adults.

According to recent data, falls are one of the leading causes of injury and mortality among older adults, with a significant portion of these falls occurring within the comfort of one’s own home. Studies show that one in four Americans aged 65 and older falls each year, and falls are responsible for more than 95% of hip fractures among older adults. As we age, the risk of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, increases, further exacerbating the likelihood of fractures from falling.

Pemi-Baker’s team of Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Physical Therapists (PTs) underscores the importance of identifying and addressing common hazards in the home that contribute to falls. Among the regular factors that can heighten the risk of falls are:

  • slippery floors
  • inadequate lighting
  • loose rugs
  • cluttered pathways and stairs
  • poorly designed furniture arrangements

“Prevention is key when it comes to reducing the risk of falls among older adults,” says Ernest Roy, PT, DPT and Quality Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “By understanding the common hazards present in the home environment, individuals can take proactive measures to create safer living spaces and minimize the risk of falls.”

Pemi-Baker encourages older adults and their caregivers to work closely with healthcare professionals to implement preventative measures such as:

  • installing grab bars in bathrooms
  • securing loose carpets and getting rid of throw rugs
  • improving lighting conditions by adding motion night lights
  • participating in strength and balance exercises to enhance mobility and stability
  • education on proper footwear, vision enhancement, and medication management
  • implementation of assistive devices and adaptive equipment to support mobility

Throughout National Osteoporosis Month, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health remains dedicated to raising awareness about osteoporosis prevention and promoting the well-being of older adults in our community.

Who Cares for the Caregivers?

On a recent (March 2, 2024) episode of the TV news “CBS Saturday Morning”, veteran correspondent Barry Petersen did a feature piece on the growing phenomenon of family members and friends caring for needful loved ones in their homes. The piece began by focusing on how the COVID pandemic heightened the need for caregivers themselves to have assistance and support. The TV story can be viewed online by Googling “Barry Petersen”.  Petersen himself came to the concern through his own experience, having cared for his wife until her death. He recounted his experience in a book entitled “JAN’S STORY: A love lost to the long goodbye of Alzheimer’s”, available through Amazon.Jans Story book cover

Petersen’s TV feature story interviewed persons engaged with DUET, a Phoenix-based organization committed to providing support to family/at-home caregivers. They do this locally in their area by offering in-person support groups as well as virtual support groups via ZOOM which now extend to fifteen states, Canada, and the Navajo Nation. Their website is duetaz.org. The feature included comments by DUET facilitators as well as group participants.

Some of the statistics are quite surprising. Here in our country, 38 million citizens are involved in family/home-based caring. The financial equivalent of their unpaid work (if it were done by nurses and other healthcare workers) is $600 billion dollars. Family/home-based caregivers often suffer from the stressors of isolation, loneliness, and isolation which can impact them physically as much as would smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Another significant stressor is “ambiguous loss”, caused by the physical presence but psychological absence of the one being care for. The caregiver has no way of knowing how long their caregiving responsibility will last since the patient’s end of life cannot be definitely predicted. The “not knowing” becomes a test of emotional and physical endurance since there is no sense of closure. Add to this the very human (and understandable) reactions of fear, frustration, anger, and guilt and you have a growing population of people who are emotionally hurting.

To assist caregivers in our area, PEMI-BAKER HOSPICE & HOME HEALTH offers an in-person support group which meets on the first Wednesday of every month. The gathering is held in the Conference Room at the agency’s Boulder Point site which can be accessed in the blue/gray building at Health Place. The entrance is right near the beautiful little gazebo and solar panels. Meetings begin at 10:00am and conclude no later than 11:30am. There is no cost to attend. Sessions are facilitated by Guy Tillson, Pemi-Baker’s Hospice Spiritual Counselor and Bereavement Coordinator. Interested persons are asked to pre-register by contacting him at gtillson@pbhha.org or by calling the agency ay 603 536-2232.

Pemi-Baker Celebrates National Occupational Therapy Month

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Celebrates National Occupational Therapy Month!

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Occupational Therapy, Plymouth, NH

As we enter April, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is proud to recognize National Occupational Therapy Month, shedding light on the invaluable role Occupational Therapists (OTs) play in enhancing the lives of patients within the comfort of their own homes.

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a vital component of home health care that aims to help individuals of all ages achieve independence and improve their quality of life through customized interventions. OT services provided in the home setting are particularly significant, offering patients a personalized approach to recovery and empowerment.

OTs provide a wide range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient within the familiarity and convenience of their home environment. These services may include:

  1. Assessment and Evaluation: OTs conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the patient’s abilities, limitations, and goals, enabling them to develop personalized treatment plans.
  2. Adaptive Equipment Recommendations: OTs recommend and assist in obtaining adaptive equipment and devices that promote independence and safety within the home.
  3. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: OTs work with patients to improve their ability to perform everyday tasks such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and meal preparation, enhancing their overall independence and quality of life.
  4. Home Safety Assessments: OTs evaluate the home environment to identify potential hazards and make modifications or recommendations to ensure a safe and accessible living space.
  5. Cognitive Rehabilitation: OTs provide cognitive rehabilitation techniques to help patients regain and enhance cognitive skills, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities.

By bringing Occupational Therapy directly into the home, patients can experience numerous benefits, including accelerated recovery, increased motivation, and enhanced overall well-being.

“At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive and compassionate care to our patients in the comfort of their own homes,” said Melissa Smith, Home Health, Hospice & Palliative Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “During National Occupational Therapy Month and beyond, we remain committed to empowering our patients to achieve their highest level of independence and function through our exceptional Occupational Therapy services. Thank you to Nicole Sullivan, OT, Lindsay Hann, OT and Amanda Robinson, COTA/L for all that you do for our patients.”

Transformative Benefits of Hospice Care for Patients & Families

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

Facing a terminal diagnosis is undoubtedly a challenging time for both patients and their families. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, a leading provider of compassionate end-of-life care, emphasizes that hospice services can bring comfort, support, and a renewed focus on quality of life during this difficult journey.Hospice care with Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Contrary to common misconceptions, being on hospice does not signify an imminent end to life. In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to graduate from hospice care, demonstrating the positive impact these services can have. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health aims to shed light on the numerous benefits of hospice care, not only for the patient but also for their family and caregivers.

To qualify for hospice, patients must have a terminal diagnosis with an expected life expectancy of six months or less. However, this does not mean that the patient will necessarily pass away within that timeframe, but rather that it is the anticipated duration. Hospice services fall under Medicare A benefits, meaning that the hospice provider covers the cost of care related to the terminal diagnosis.

The comprehensive range of services provided under hospice care includes skilled nursing, medical equipment, necessary medical supplies, medications, social worker support, chaplain services for spiritual needs, assistance from home health aides, bereavement support, and respite care. All these services can be administered either in the patient’s home or in a facility.

In cases where a patient is in a facility, hospice services act as an additional layer of support, complementing the existing care provided by the facility. This ensures that patients receive holistic and personalized care that addresses their unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Melissa Smith, RN Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH
“Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing terminal illnesses and providing invaluable support to their families. Hospice care is not about giving up; it’s about improving the remaining time, offering comfort, and empowering patients to live their final days with dignity,” said Melissa Smith, RN, MSN, Home Health, Palliative Care & Hospice Director at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health.

By dispelling misconceptions and highlighting the array of services offered, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health aims to encourage individuals and their families to consider hospice care as a positive and transformative option during challenging times.

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.
