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.

"From the first phone call to RAH, I sensed the caring and concern for both mom and myself. This was followed up by a home visit where mom was evaluated and an appropriate care plan was developed. Next, I was introduced to a lovely young caregiver who has been with mom for several months. She is cheerful, reliable, attentive and caring. The lines of communication have remained open with all parties involved. I would highly recommend this agency."

"Right at Home has exceeded my expectations. My mother had returned home after a 2-month stay in a nursing home rehabilitating her broken hip. When I contacted RAH, they eased any concerns I had about her as a senior citizen making a smooth transition. They explained how they would address her needs on daily basis. So far, all of the aides have been courteous and professional. Right at Home has made my mother feel comfortable and that makes all the difference."
