CAREGIVER SUPPORT TO SUSTAIN YOU

Some feel privileged to serve a loved one at their most vulnerable time. Many also feel afraid, tired and overwhelmed at times. And most people feel it all in one day. It’s okay; these feelings are normal. The important thing is to have the tools and resources you need to cope with the natural ebb and flow of your emotions.

COFFEE WITH CAREGIVERS-Conversation, Education and Support

First Wednesday of every month via ZOOM! 11-11:45am
With the increasing age of our population, more and more people are finding themselves providing care for those in need.
Many caregivers feel ill-prepared for their role and have little or no support. This leads to high levels of stress, frustration, anger, guilt, and feeling overwhelmed, drained of energy, and helpless.
JOIN US!!!! Connect with others from the comfort of your kitchen as we talk about monthly caregiving topics and the ups and downs of at home caregiving.
Attend once or as often as you’d like.

Contact us to register and we will send you easy to follow instructions on how to connect to the meeting through video chat or phone. 536-2232 or info@pbhha.org

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT COPING WITH LOSS

During your loved one’s illness, you may be too busy with care-giving to feel the full weight of your loss. After your loved one passes away, your grief may come suddenly or happen over time, and the depth of your feelings may surprise you. It’s important that you get care for your emotional and spiritual health; understanding grief and the feelings attached to it are important steps in healing.

Your courage during Covid-19 does not go unnoticed

Hello. We just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much we truly appreciate all that you do for us in these trying times. You're commitment to the health of our community is a special thing, and we know that you are working under stressful conditions due to the Covid 19 crisis. We realize that in order for you to treat those who may be ill, you are putting you're own lives and even you're own families lives in danger, and that is truly a courageous and honorable thing to do. We want you to know that it does not go unnoticed. Thank you all for all that you do!

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!

“I’m so happy that I found PBCH!”

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.
