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

Right at Home's service couldn't be any better. They know what is needed and do it efficiently. Their performance is excellent, and they cover everything they do. The Right at Home care giving team does not just sit around - they look for things to do, and are quite smart. The caregivers are great companions, and I would gladly recommend Right at Home to a friend.
