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.

Family Caregivers

Relatives are commonly the main source of care and support for older adults with chronic illness and disability. These caregivers are family members, partners, and sometimes close friends who provide assistance, typically unpaid, to someone who has limitations in physical, mental, or cognitive function.
