Hypertension Stroke Care
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.

Complications from medication can include inflamed and sore joints which reduce mobility.

"Lilion and I have a good relationship and she is very trustworthy. My health is not completely obvious as most of my inabilities are heart related. My heart does not circulate blood making me slow to move and someday I do a lot of sitting or very easy on my morning. Lilion's help has done a lot for me being able to do something that was I was not able to keep up."

"Highly responsive team, very caring and involved owner; very competent nursing staff; quality of caregivers is good overall, and some are especially excellent. Office deftly handled LTC financials. RAH helped us locate and work with a fine Hospice agency. We were with RAH for three years with an almost consistently excellent experience, and when not, there were quick resolutions. Have had other experiences with providers; very few match up to RAH. Truly excellent. Highly recommend them."
