Hypertension/Stroke

The best strategy for controlling and preventing high blood pressure is to begin with lifestyle changes. For seniors, this often means a combination of light exercise and medication. Right at Home can prepare a customized hypertension program to promote a healthier lifestyle, including:

  • Development of a light exercise schedule
  • Coordination of a healthy meal plan
  • Shopping
  • Meal preparation
  • Medication reminders

My family and I were quite pleased with Right at Home's efforts. They provided first class service, and provided a healthcare provider who really knew what she was doing. It is not necessarily easy to transport a person who is not feeling well across the entire United States, and Right at Home did a great job in providing this service. Our experience with Right at Home was just perfect.
