Hypertension Stroke

Hypertension aka high blood pressure is a very common affliction for the elderly. It is often called a silent killer because you can have it for years without knowing it. In fact, about 50 million Americans have high blood pressure, but about 30 percent of them don't know it.

The best strategy for controlling and preventing high blood pressure is to begin with lifestyle changes. For the elderly this is often coupled with medication to reduce high blood pressure. Complications from medication can include inflamed and sore joints which reduce mobility.

"The caregiver was an amazing person. She cleaned, shopped and cared for me. She cleaned for me. She did what I needed at the time. The owner came with the caregiver at the first visit. She communicated well and was very pleasant."

Hear What Others Are Saying

"The caregiver does an excellent job and we are very pleased. It helps us because we can go out and do our work while someone stays here with our loved one. She is hard-working, caring, and knows what to do when she comes in, so we do not need to tell her what to do. She will clean, do the laundry, and help Maxyne exercise. She speaks to her very gently and lovingly. When our caregiver can't come, they will let us know. She is honest, compassionate, and loving."

"Everybody was professional and did what they were supposed to do. It was immeasurable. I am a completely disabled veteran and they would help me out with all of the housework, that was a big load off my back. They were all very hard workers who did anything that I asked. All of the ladies were fantastic, they all did anything that I asked of them to my satisfaction. They were some fantastic ladies, and that is saying something because I am not an easy person to be around and work for. They matched me up with people, and I ver had an argument with any of them."
