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

Thank you so much for all you do.  In the past several years, I have used a variety of agencies and private care people.  It was not until I starting using Right at Home, that I clearly had peace of mind in leaving Mom in someone else's care.  Thank you for that.
