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.

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:

  • Develop a light exercise schedule
  • Coordinate a healthy meal plan

"We had Right at Home for about a month, and they were excellent. They weren’t caring for my husband at his time of death. They were assisting me when he was able to live in our house. He loved them. They were great and doing everything. I work, so they were with him 24 hours a day."

"They were very professional and provided me with great caregivers for my parents. The caregivers were very kind to my parents and help them maintain their dignity as they got older and continued to decline. They took the burden of caring for them off my and my siblings backs and we were able to reconnect and enjoy the time we had left with my parents."
