Hypertension and 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

"I selected them because a friend of ours used them and recommended them. I have used them to be a companion and I have them only once a week for 2 hours. I felt confident enough to leave my loved one with someone from Right at Home, and could take a few hours for myself. The caregivers are here for him to talk to him and help him if he needs some help. They are here and he feels that he is not alone and that someone is with him. The office staff has been very helpful. The communication is always very good. He is very satisfied with the people they send."
