Hypertension Stroke

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.

  • Coordinate a healthy meal plan

Although we only needed to use their services for a short time, we couldn't have been happier with the services. If we ever need help again, without hesitation I would contact Right at Home and would recommend them to my friends and family."
