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

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO HAPPEN AT MY FIRST PT VISIT?

  • A Client Administrative Assistant will thoroughly explain your PT insurance benefit and all related paperwork
  • Your physical therapist will perform a thorough physical evaluation regarding your current condition.
  • Your physical therapist will recommend a plan of care including the frequency (number of visits per week) and duration (total weeks) of treatment. You will also discuss the types of treatments you will be receiving. You will be assigned a home exercise program to supplement your treatment sessions for you to begin immediately.
  • In most cases treatment will begin on the first visit!

WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME TO MY FIRST PT VISIT?

  • Physical therapy referral (if applicable)
  • Insurance card and identification
  • Any medical devices or equipment related to your condition (cane, walker, crutches, brace, sling, orthotics)
  • We recommend wearing loose fitting clothing that will easily allow you to expose the area we will be evaluating. For example, if you are coming to therapy for your knee, we recommend wearing shorts. For the shoulder, we recommend wearing a tank top. For the low back, we recommend wearing a loose fitting shirt and pants so we can perform a thorough examination. During the winter months or wet days we recommend bringing an extra pair of dry shoes.

HOW DO I GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY?

  • Get a referral from your primary care doctor

~If your doctor gives you the referral as a piece of paper call Pemi-Baker directly to set up the appointment (603-536-2232)

~If you didn’t get a paper referral, your doctor is faxing it to us and we will call you once we receive it.

  • Insurance-  We will need Insurance Authorization.  Please have your insurance card ready when speaking with the Pemi-Baker Outpatient physical therapy Administrative Assistant.
  • Paperwork-  Depending on what area of the body our Physical Therapists are seeing you for, our Administrative Assistant will tell you what form to download/print/and fill out to bring to your first appointment.  Resources and Forms

“They are so pleasant and willing to help.”

They talk kindly and gently guide my mother to do what she needs to do.  It is as if this is not 'just a job' but they really are enjoying what they do.  They are happy!

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!

I live in Meredith and wanted to exercise in a pool.  The aquatic classes here at Pemi-Baker are fantastic.  I am a member of the 7 am class and we meet three times a week for an amazing class run by Liz.  She changes it up every time and works us with a variety of cardio, strength, flexibility, balance and stretching.  The aquatic program here offers a variety of classes throughout the day; so very easy to fit it into your routine.  I highly recommend that you check it out.  Everyone is very welcoming and we have a lot of fun getting our exercise in.

“The Joint Mobility class has made a world of difference for me!”

I'm in less pain, I sleep through the night, which I haven't done in years, and I've met some of the nicest people.  I look forward to this class so much; when Thursday comes I dread waiting till next Tuesday to see you.

“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 PBCH and we are very lucky to have found this amazing group!  Thank you PBCH for your excellent care and compassion.

“We bonded as people and worked together as a team.”

My therapy experience has been all about partnership. This was the key to success ! My rehab was similar to that of an athlete with the therapists as my trainers using their expertise to progress my knee to the next level, the next stage.

“We’ve loved the swim lessons at Pemi-Baker.”

Anna's gentle and encouraging instruction was just right for making our daughter feel comfortable in the water. We're looking forward to continuing the lessons!
