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
