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. Right at Home’s specialty home care services can prepare a customized hypertension program that caters to your needs for striving toward a healthier lifestyle. These services include:

  • Coordinate a healthy meal plan

"We engaged Right at Home shortly after my father moved to assisted living. With all of us living out of town, we needed some extra back-up help. RAH has provided excellent service to dad: transportation to medical appointments, bi-weekly shopping for personal items, etc. The staff in the RAH office has been highly professional and responsive in all our dealings with them. RAH has assigned a regular caregiver to dad for these errands, and he has a good and trusting relationship with her. I highly recommend RAH Perrysburg."

"I selected Right at Home after what I think was a thorough search, interviews of staff and visitations of their business locations. Also, the BBB has no complaints registered which supported my own conclusions. After several months now of care in our home, the professionalism of our caregiver and the follow-up by the owner, I am convinced that I made the best decision. I recommend Right at Home in the most positive manner."
