Pemi-Baker to start Gift of Hospice Care program

MEREDITH — Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health recently started the Gift of Hospice Care program, an initiative aimed at educating the community about the benefits of opting for hospice care early as loved ones age.

Hospice care provides a holistic approach to end-of-life care, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients. By choosing hospice care early, patients receive personalized medical care designed to manage pain and symptoms, allowing them to live their remaining days with dignity and comfort.

Families also experience significant benefits when hospice care is initiated early. They gain access to a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including nurses, social workers, chaplains and volunteers who provide guidance and emotional support. 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.

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 Hospice Medical Director Dr. Kristi Saunders. “By choosing hospice care early, families can focus on spending quality time together while we take care of the rest.”
