Healthy Living
Written By anna sWanson
Hospice care is often misun- derstood. Too many families see it as a last resort—something to turn to only when there’s “noth- ing else to do.” But at Pemi- Baker Hospice & Home Health, we see it differently. Hospice is not about giving up. It’s about choosing how to live.
Hospice care is a gift—a chance to focus on what truly matters when time is short. It's about comfort, dignity, and pres- ence. It’s about saying yes to meaningful moments and no to unnecessary suffering.
“Everyday matters,” says the Pemi-Baker team. “Our mission is to help patients live fully and comfortably, on their own terms, surrounded by people who care.”
Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health offers expert medical support, pain management, emotional and spiritual care, and 24/7 access to a compassionate

Choosing Comfort, Dignity, and Quality of Life
team who truly listens. The focus is on making each day the best it can be—at home, where patients feel most at peace.
Family members often de- scribe a profound sense of relief once hospice begins. They no longer feel alone. Questions are answered. Symptoms are man- aged. And every detail—from medications to emotional sup- port—is handled with deep re- spect and compassion.
Hospice is not just for the final days or hours. In fact, reaching out early allows patients and their families to get the most benefit from services. Choosing hospice early gives everyone more time to plan, connect, and find comfort in each other.
If you think you or someone you love might be ready for hos- pice, don’t wait. A simple phone call can make all the difference. The Pemi-Baker team is ready to guide you through your options,
no pressure, just support. “People often tell us, ‘I wish
we’d called sooner,’” the team adds. “Hospice can bring calm, clarity, and connection during an incredibly difficult time.”
Don’t wait to ask about how our compassionate staff can help your loved ones with the Gift of Hospice Care. To qual- ify for hospice care patients, families and providers can refer to the program if the patient’s
condition is life limiting and the patient is seeking symptom man- agement support at home or in a nursing home/hospital. Our focus is on providing comfort to patients and support to families, with our team available 24/7 to address any concerns. The call is free, and our professionals are ready to assist you!
