October is also Liver Awareness Month, and it’s crucial to raise awareness about how palliative & hospice care can help those with liver conditions such as hepatitis, liver cancer, or cirrhosis (from any cause). Liver disease can cause a wide range of symptoms, from pain and nausea to fatigue (feeling weak or tired), jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), and lack of appetite, amongst others.

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, we understand the unique needs of individuals living with liver disease. 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 Palliative & 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.

If you or a loved one is living with liver disease, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is here to help. We encourage you to call us at 603-536-2232 to learn more about how palliative care or hospice care may be right for you. The call is free, and our team is always ready to offer support, information, and compassionate care.

The Gift of Hospice Care

July 31, 2024

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.

Families also experience significant benefits when hospice care is initiated early.

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.”

Benefits of Home Health Care and Hospice Care for COPD Patients

July 23, 2024

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

June 24, 2024

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.

Early Intervention and Compassionate Care: Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health Supports Patients and Families Facing Serious Illness. Explaining medication to hospice family, Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, Plymouth, NH

Living with a serious illness can present numerous challenges, not only for the patient but also for their loved ones. Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health recognizes the importance of providing support early in the journey of illness. By seeking and receiving palliative and/or hospice care at the appropriate time, patients and families can experience significant benefits in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Are you or a loved one facing the complexities of a serious illness such as Cancer, Diabetes, Stroke, COPD, ALS, Emphysema, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Congestive Heart Failure, Liver or Kidney Disease, Dementia, or any other serious progressive condition? Do symptoms like pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, depression, lack of appetite, or nausea hinder daily activities and impact your overall well-being?

Families consistently express regret for not reaching out to us earlier. Act promptly and contact Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health without delay. Understanding the urgency, our devoted team is committed to delivering personalized support. We work closely with your primary care provider to address not just the main symptoms but also commonly neglected issues such as fatigue.

Early intervention can positively influence the trajectory of illness by addressing symptoms and improving overall well-being. Palliative care focuses on managing pain, discomfort, and other distressing symptoms, regardless of the stage of the disease or treatment plan. By integrating care early on, patients can experience enhanced symptom management and better quality of life.

Hospice care provides comfort measures during the final phases of life for patients who have decided to no longer receive chemotherapy, radiation treatments or surgeries. By engaging with hospice services early, patients and families gain access to a team of professionals who provide compassionate care, emotional support, and practical assistance. Hospice care prioritizes the comfort and dignity of the patient, empowering them to live their remaining time with dignity and meaning.

“We understand the challenges that patients and families face when dealing with serious illness,” said Melissa Smith, Director of Home Health, Palliative Care & Hospice at Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health. “Our compassionate team has years of experience and is committed to providing holistic support that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients through comprehensive palliative and hospice care. Our services are designed to manage symptoms, control pain, and provide unwavering comfort during one of life’s most challenging journeys.

Specialized Palliative Care

For patients living with serious illnesses like cancer, our team focuses on providing specialized medical care to alleviate symptoms and reduce stress. Suitable for individuals of any age and at any illness stage, this care can be administered alongside curative treatments, aiming to enhance the patient’s quality of life. For terminal cancer patients, our team emphasizes symptom management and support throughout their journey.

Personalized Symptom Management

Cancer patients often endure symptoms that impact their daily lives. Our tailored palliative and hospice care plans significantly alleviate discomfort through personalized symptom management and pain control.

Patients frequently report that having palliative or hospice support made them more comfortable and better able to cope with their symptoms. Our dedicated healthcare professionals work tirelessly to manage pain and other distressing symptoms effectively, allowing patients to focus on what matters most.

This constant availability ensures that compassionate and knowledgeable hospice team members are just a phone call away, providing peace of mind and enabling families to offer the best possible care without feeling overwhelmed.

Comprehensive Hospice Benefits

For terminal cancer patients, hospice care is a significant advantage as most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover the costs. This includes medications, medical equipment, supplies, and regular visits from our hospice team, easing the financial burden. By covering these costs, we allow patients and families to focus on emotional and physical care without worrying about expenses.

A Team Committed to Compassionate Care

At Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health, our interdisciplinary team includes physicians, nurses, social workers, spiritual advisors, and trained volunteers, all working in concert to provide holistic care.

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.

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.

“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.

“Everyone is so understanding supportive and kind.”

From the director to the nurses to the health care workers.  So cheerful, helpful and accommodating.  This is our second time receiving assistance from Pemi-Baker and we are very lucky to have found this amazing group!  Thank you for your excellent care and compassion.

“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.

Your courage during Covid-19 does not go unnoticed
